Hi guys~~long time no see~~come back from the long winter holidays and the Spring Festival.
It is too quick of the year 2014 coming to get a chance of farewell to 2013.
Recently, I get hooked on 2 novelist, one is Haruki Murakami who is the well-known writer from Japan , and the other one is our native writer Moyan who wined the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012 and became the first and the only Chinese Nobel Prize winner from China till now.
Definitely, I bought the sets of collections of these two writer online, from now I begin to carry on finishing all of the books as soon as possible~~
I have finished reading two books of Moyan, whose names are and . Both of them tell about the things in the old days of China, and countrymen's real and original life in his hometown, a rural area of Shandong Province. In his book, he tends to design the background of the story depending on his own hometown and village , sometimes even taking his relatives as the prototype in his novel. Therefore, I can feel real and close in it. Besides, the book is humorous and funny by his vivid description and words at first, but ,with further deep thoughts , the feelings of satire, frustration, sorrow and sympathy are pouring out of the words, which makes me turn laughing to tears.
What's more, in his books, It seems to be hard to find the fully bad guys or good guys, because in his eyes everyone has the two sides of faces, sometime he probably curses or mistreats the intimate but at times he would show his generosity and pity to the strangers... So human is a kind of extremely complicated animal in the world coz they have complex feelings that are nobody can know except themselves, maybe even someone cannot control himself at times....Therefore, I mean, just like Moyan said, we cannot judge person from only one aspect but need to get to know someone in various angels.
In addition, this book tells a countryman constantly dies and rebirths to different animals, like pig, donkey, cow....In his different lives, he lives the animal's life but can see the world in human's mind~~In other words, he experiences quite different life in animal's view and he can find something that human cannot find, do things human cannot do...That's unique and interesting~~
Anyway~~recommend this two brilliant novelist!!

We may not understand some aspects in us. To strangers too friendly maybe not a problem, but we must study make friends with family members, especially parents. I think we Chinese don't express our feeling well.
