Welcome back to the quiet sanctuary of "Literary Glimmer." I am Mandy.Tonight, there is a gentle rain falling outside my window. It reminds me of a specific feeling—that feeling of melancholy when you look back at your younger self. We often think of growing up as a process of gaining things: gaining knowledge, gaining money, gaining relationships. But Murakami reminds us that growing up is also a process of losing. We lose our innocence. We lose people we love. And sometimes, we lose the clear direction we thought we had.Tonight, we open the pages of Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood. This isn't just a love story. It is a story about the heavy fog of grief that covers us when we lose someone too young. The protagonist, Toru Watanabe, loses his best friend, Kizuki, to suicide at the age of 17. This tragedy shatters his world. He tries to run away from it, to go to Tokyo, to start a new life. But he finds that you cannot run away from grief, because it lives inside you.Before we listen to Toru’s inner monologue, let’s hold a few concepts in our minds. The first is Opposite. We usually think life and death are opposites, like black and white. But Toru learns that they are mixed together. The second is Two-dimensional. Before the tragedy, his view of the world was flat and simple. After the tragedy, it became complex, heavy, and real.Now, imagine a young man, sitting alone in a quiet room, realizing that the world has fundamentally changed. He is learning the hardest lesson of adulthood. Let’s listen."Death exists, not as the opposite but as a part of life.To be sure, as long as we had lived, we had thought of death as something purely external, something completely separate from us. 'Death will come some day,' we thought, 'but for now, at least, it hasn't got us.' And that was true enough. There was no argument with the fact that life is on this side and death on that side.But after the night of Kizuki’s death, I lost the ability to see death (and life) in such simple, two-dimensional terms. Death was not the opposite of life. It was already here, within my being, it had always been here, and no struggle would permit me to forget that. When it took him, death took a small part of me with it.But at the time, I wasn't able to think about it so clearly. I didn't have the words. All I could do was live on with this huge knot of air inside me. And as I went on living, the knot grew inside me—this undefined, non-existent object. It was a strange sort of contradiction: by living our lives, we nurture death.I was eighteen that spring. And as long as I was eighteen, that spring would go on forever. The sun would rise and set, the flag would rustle, the buds would open into flowers... I was trying hard not to be serious. But death was a fact, a serious fact, as undeniable as the white clouds floating in the sky.""By living our lives, we nurture death."It sounds heavy, doesn't it? But there is a strange comfort in it, too. It means we don't have to fight against the end. We acknowledge it. Murakami teaches us that sadness is not something to be "fixed." It is something to be carried. It is the weight that keeps us grounded.Growing up means accepting that the forest is dark, and we might get lost. But even in the deepest woods, we can still see the moon. We can still love. And we can still remember those who aren't with us anymore.Thank you for walking through the forest with me tonight.Goodnight, and let the glimmer light your way.________________________________________Beyond English | 不止英语Go beyond words.
