Love Letter began with a misunderstanding of the same name. Through the exchange of letters between two women, with affectionate strokes and beautiful and delicate words, two simple and precious loves are slowly displayed. The picture is clean and pure, and between the lines reveals the author's deep attachment to the love of youth that is gone forever. The beauty and sadness in that memory is a true portrayal of countless people's youth, warm and cruel.
Shunji Iwai is cruel. At the beginning of the novel, Hiroshi Watanabe goes to the mountain to visit the grave of her fiance Fujii. In the overwhelming snow, the black mourning is more solemn and sad. This snow reminds Bo Zi of the unfortunate death of the tree in the snowy mountain, and unspeakable grief naturally gushes from his heart, so he will look for Asu's old address in the photo album and send the letter that should never arrive. Japan is a country full of cherry blossoms, and Shunji Iwai has the romantic feelings of cherry blossoms in his bones, so he wrote Bai Zi's love to the extreme, even regardless of the pain and affection of life and death.
"How are you? I'm fine. " This letter with only six words was sent on the second anniversary of Asu. In this simplicity, there is a charming girl heart. Just like the letter Bozi wrote in front of the girl Fujii's house, he didn't want to write that Ashe died two years ago, but wrote: "I don't know where he is now and what he is doing, but even now, I often think of him." I want to know if he is doing well somewhere. " This simple and clumsy gesture is a woman's greatest romance. She firmly believes that Asu is just living another life in a place where she can't find it. So, like sending a river lantern, she sent her first letter, which led to a beautiful misunderstanding with a romantic plot.
The novel is multi-lens, and at this point, the author's directing characteristics are fully revealed. So in the novel, there are exquisite light and details, and the picture is very strong. After Bozi sent the letter, the author began to describe the life of the girl Fujii. This kind of switching between shots is very flexible in the novel, not concise at all.
Novels have always developed alternately in light and shade. One bright line is Hiroko and the girl Fujii's tracing back to the past of the teenager Fujii, and the other dark line is the girl Fujii's life experience. I combined these two lines into Looking for Fujii Tree, just like a children's game in the color at the end of the novel.
From the communication between Bozi and girl Fujii, we gradually restored the image of boy Fujii. Bo Zi wrote in a letter: People like him often look far away. Those eyes are always clear, and they are the most beautiful I have ever seen ... He likes climbing mountains and painting. If you are not painting, you are climbing a mountain. In a few words, the image of Fujii, a boy, is careless, clean and affectionate, like a silent tree, with a kind of sadness. Not good at dealing with people, maverick and persistent. Such a man can capture the hearts of almost all girls and want to soothe his melancholy eyes with his gentleness.
However, Fujii, a girl, always has a distant impression on Fujii, a boy, even a little disgusted. In our youth, we all had a feeling like Fujii, a boy. I have a crush on someone, but I don't know how to express it. I can only attract her attention through some maverick ways, even pranks. For example, when a boy Fujii rides downhill, he puts a bag on a girl Fujii's head, works with her in the parking lot to check the answers of English test papers, even participates in track and field competitions when her foot is injured, works as a librarian with her, and signs the word "Fujii" on every book that no one borrows ... These clumsy childishness are a teenager expressing his shy and green love in his own way. Fujii tree at this time is each of our teenagers. It is precisely because of these that the novel is more pure and moving, and every word flows into the reader's heart quietly, which makes people deeply moved and irresistible inadvertently.
A secret love story hidden in the wind of youth, with the communication between Bozi and girl Fujii, becomes as clear as reeling. The little memory of the boy Fujii seems to be a treasure hunt, and finally the truth comes out. It turned out that all the names he signed on the library card were hers. This winding and secret heart, like a clear spring, makes people feel clear and soft. At this time, Hiroko and Fujii met for the first time, and Asu's panic and his conclusion of love at first sight became clear. This reminds me of a sentence that touched countless people on the internet: since I left, all the people I like are like you. Therefore, at this time, the encounter between the boy Fujii and Hiroko was only the first encounter with Hiroko and the doomed reunion with Asu.
Another line in the novel is the life story of the girl Fujii. My father died of a cold, hated the hospital, and persisted in working despite a high fever. Living in a remote and inconvenient suburb with her mother and grandfather all the year round, she is immersed in the cognition of life and death in a seemingly trivial life. And when the snow was falling and the cold was getting heavier, I received a puzzling letter, and everything was bizarre and true. In real life, we are seldom as serious as the two heroines because of a strange letter. And such a simple and persistent struggle is a necessary condition for the story to happen. It can only be attributed to the romantic feelings of two women. This is also a style of the whole novel. Next, the girl Fujii's cold became more serious in her life. She had strange dreams, and she had to guess whether the writer was playing a prank. This compact plot is very wonderful, which is also the greatest charm of literary works: in a romantic way, things that are difficult to happen in life can happen rationally.
In the novel, Hiroko and Fujii are a contrast, which is the author's attitude of softness and rigidity. In the novel, Bo Zi is immersed in the sadness of Asu's death, while the female Fujii tree patiently sends a letter to Bo Zi while suffering from a cold, telling the story of the male Fujii tree. She even walked out of the pain of her father's death in the nightmare of the hospital, dreaming of her father's death, and perhaps dreaming of the teenager and herself.
There are many fascinating and touching pictures in the novel. For example, when it was snowy at first, I caught a cold and suddenly received medicine from a stranger. When Mother Fujii was in a high fever and coma, my grandfather carried her in the snow. Accompanied by Mr. Akiba, Bozi shouted, "How are you? I'm fine. " Finally, Fujii received a library card with her portrait painted on it. ...
For Bozi, on the snowy mountain, he bravely shouted out his silent thoughts about his lover, and his feelings bloomed to the extreme like cherry blossoms. This time is not sadness, but respect for the passage of life and the release of self. I also want to believe that Bozi will usher in a new life of love with the company of Mr. Akiba, who silently loves himself. Send all the memories back to Fujii, a girl, a freshman of Bozi.
For Fujii, seeing the prosperity and bright hope of life from the tree planted by her grandfather after a serious illness is also a process of finding herself. Finally, the picture of receiving the library card made the female Fujii finally see her once hazy love and understand the beautiful love of another Fujii. The picture comes to an abrupt end, leaving readers with a hazy beauty, which they can enjoy and guess at will.
Shunji Iwai wrote in his novel: Although he experienced the baptism of years, his sincere feelings have not been erased. Life is short, but love is eternal. There is one person to miss, and that is happiness. Presumably, this is the most direct intention of this novel, and it is also the core of Shunji Iwai's consistent story of youth and painful growth.
I was deeply moved to see my friend send a sentence "All my pens know your name". Through words, it seems that one person writes down another person's name on paper, one by one. This kind of love is as pious as faith. Just like a boy's name written on a library card by Fujii, and his silent thoughts, "Your name" is the most beautiful love letter at this time. In the preface, Anne Baby wrote, "Lonely attachment and missing a person is just like nostalgia for the unspeakable joy and desolation in our lives". I believe that in this book, we can all find our own youth and pure youth love as a belief. At this time, we are boys Asu, girls Fujii, Bozi, autumn leaves, or just found our own shadow. ...
