"Melancholy Grocery Store" book: The road has always been, progress is happiness

First, about this book

On my birthday in 2016, my cousin sent me a book, "melancholy grocery store" . I have never read any book about Donggui, nor have I read its fiction, only that it looks like this book is the hottest paid ebook on the Kindle of 2015, Amazon's 2015 bestseller list, two. It is said that the Chinese film "melancholy grocery store" has been started and is expected to release in 2017 , I can't wait to expect it to be released.

　　I'm a famous Japanese writer, Dong ye gui-wu . 1985, with the "after-school" won the 31st Annual Edogawa Chaos, began to write full-time. Many of the early works for the delicate and meticulous of this reasoning, late flicks more masterful, the text is fresh and carved, narrative concise vicious, plot ups and downs, the story of the structure of a few strange to the point, good from the very unreasonable to write a very reasonable story, the depth of the world aghast, many works have been changed into a TV series or film.

The

book won the situation : "Melancholy grocery store" in 2012 won the seventh session of the Central Verdict Literary Award, Apple Daily translation novel sales ranking second consecutive two seasons, Rong Deng Kinokuniya House, eslite, blog, Jinshi Hall of the top 1. October 29, 2015, Emperor Film and Wanda Film officially announced the "melancholy Grocery" in Chinese film and television copyright, the film is expected to start filming in 2016, and released in 2017. December 10, 2015, Amazon China publishes 2015 book rankings. The melancholy grocery store is second only to the Secret Garden, the best-selling book list.

Second, the time line combing

The story of "melancholy grocery store" starts with flashbacks, three thieves opened the door to the surf grocery store and opened the story of that era. At the outset, the climax was shown. Three thieves stumbled into a grocery store called wave-arrows. They stumbled upon a letter from someone outside to the mailbox in the doorway, a letter of help. What they saw was a letter from the past, and the old grocery store had a secret time channel. When I read the first chapter, I feel that it is a fun to wear Shaoxing opera, but otherwise, he is not the same as the ordinary cross-play.

In the five chapters of the book, a different perspective was used to tell the story of five spans of time and space, and five of the consultants wrote to the grocery store to talk about their troubles, and Mr. Wave answered them. If only to talk about trouble, tell a story, then this book will become a scattered pearls, although it can be a masterpiece, but after all, lost in the mess. Donggui I used a different angle to tell each of these stories, separate into separate chapters, layers of progressive, mutual influence. See finally, only then found that although they seem independent, but they are linked to each other, because they are related to the "wave of the grocery store", are vaguely and orphanage "pill light garden" has inextricably related. The last chapter is the climax of the book, we will see the whole story of the echoes, in between each character's casual choice and behavior, like the stone into the water, causing a continuous ripple, when these ripples continue to expand, gradually formed an unbreakable fetters, the past and the future will eventually converge .

After reading this book, I suddenly think of a film I saw before, "butterfly Effect", reaching, a small grocery store happened too many miracles, a good old man can change how many people's fate, different people make different choices and face what kind of life?

Since this book is not described in the same way as the traditional novel, I would like to comb the time line of this book, found that there are already netizens summed up the mind map, so we come from the time, people, events, chapter Four points of view:

(1) Timeline

　　

(2) Character line

Three, the road has been in, progress is happiness

In the book to Xiang Tai, dun, Juaping as the beginning, these three people to the injustice of the world is full of anger and resistance, they do raves thieves. Think of us now or once, especially us at the beginning of the 80 90, are more or less to see the world. There is always a time when we look at the world in a way that loses focus, perhaps because we do not find the sense of existence without being needed, or because of the frustration of being too small to be powerless, or the higher-than-average price and lower-than-average wages cause us desperately to flee the so-called North Canton, We are always trying desperately to grasp something to determine our place in this world. Once upon a time, the first out of school I was bent on the rise, want to show all my ability, but the mortgage was overwhelmed, because at that time my salary after five risk of a gold deduction of the mortgage, there is not much left, a red bomb, I only have to tighten the belt to live. Now, my shoulders also have "two mountains", decoration undecided, the car did not buy, I carefully live the day, but the heart is yearning to say walk on the trip, I am contradictory, tangled, this is the life I want, I am a wayward person? At this time, our troubles are gathered, if there is a person can talk to you can also give you advice, is not our sorrow will be less?

In the book, different characters have sent a consultation letter to the surf grocery store, hoping to get Mr. Wave's answer. But as Grandpa Lang and his son once said, " a lot of times, counseling people have the answer, to consult just want to confirm their decision is right." "It's like tossing a coin and tossing the coin into the air when there's a choice." They are just stray lambs, with maps in their hands, but not to see or know where they are, so the person who wrote the letter will know how to go if they point out their fetters. The characters in the book have different fetters, but for Xiang Tai, Dun and Juaping, the three of them are like white paper, because there is no fetters, so even if you want to decide the destination, do not know where the road.

But in fact, you go and not go, the road has been there .

"The map is a blank sheet of paper, which is of course very nerve-racking, and anyone will be overwhelmed," Grandpa Lang wrote in his last reply. But on the other hand, it is because it is a blank sheet of paper that you can paint the map as you wish. Everything is on your own, everything is free, and in front of you is infinite possibilities. ”。 This letter is written to Xiang too three (successors), through this letter, they also clarified their invisible fetters, and willingly back up their burdens-for all who need to believe in their own efforts, this is their choice of the road, but also we should choose the way.

Remember reading Chai Jing's "see" book, she wrote: "What is happiness?" Progress is happiness, the next few decades to do is to let oneself from the ignorance of a little solution to tie out, think of this is practical. For me, I am also a map, a blank sheet of paper, many things do not understand, many things will not do, but because it is a blank sheet of paper, I feel full of possibilities, I hope I can progress a little. I make plans for myself every year, and are firmly walking for this goal, because progress is happiness , so I am a happy person, thank you!

For a book, 100 people have 100 Hamlet, I do not think I am a positive energy, but I hope I can give you a little more positive energy, especially my good friends, 2017, we progress together!
