Chapter 10 Eileen Chang, Haruki Murakami

One is a pedantic girl with a strong curiosity about folk customs, and the other is a frivolous boy who wanders in bars. Eileen Chang and Haruki Murakami seem to have completely different images and works. They don't know how to talk to each other, even in the most crowded restaurant at noon, it is impossible for two people to drink tea at the same table.If you want them to sit together, you have to fold the distance between them at least ninety-nine times.If the distance between the earth and the moon were folded so many times, they would have collided with each other long ago. The only possibility is to laugh at each other in the works.Zhang Ailing likes to laugh at incompetent men who think they are sincere, and Haruki Murakami likes to laugh at women who make mistakes who ask too much, talk too much and love too much, all of which are things that are suspected of scolding the other party.This may be one of the only two interactions they have.

Zhang Ailing's many rhetorical systems have many sub-systems, which are not so much the choice of words as a certain personality, such as the Coca-Cola complex.The original inspiration for the bottle of Coca-Cola came from the figure of the designer's girlfriend wearing a fashionable narrow skirt. This incident was inspired by the infinite association of the bottle with women and clothes in Eileen Chang.The green glass raincoat worn by the heroine is "like a bottle" or "a medicine bottle".As for the leading actor, "You are the medicine that heals me".In the eyes of outsiders, Nixi is "an unbelievable Chinese woman in an adventure novel. The evening gown is studded with rhinestones, like a glass bottle with a thin waist and a fat belly, filled with fireflies."

Taking Haruki Murakami as an example, the most famous subsystem should be the symptoms of hypochondria in animals.It is a tendency to attribute any physical discomfort, inadequacy, to some unknown animal.The mouse said, "The sense of the years gradually becomes dull, as if there is a black bird fluttering its wings above my head, making me unable to count numbers above three." Big, like a chicken inside. The chicken lays an egg, the egg turns into a chicken, and the chicken lays an egg.” Instead of the birds, there is “Seeing in a Dream” and hostility to primates: "In the haze, a huge gray ape, holding a mallet, hit me hard on the back of the head, and I fell asleep."

The effect of renaming may be precise, or it may become blurred instead.In short, it is obsessive thinking that makes people have certain fixed associations.Just like when you meet Xia Tian while shopping, you will think of phrases such as "Xia Yitiao" and "Surprised Yi Xia". responsible for the headache.Not only is the finished product of metaphor embedded in readers' daily senses in the form of novel fragments, but even their technical skills will compete with each other here.Someone's metaphor in life is like adding another point to the scoreboard of Eileen Chang's band, or Haruki Murakami's pet team.This is a box-office struggle that the two don't know about, on top of the mutual abuse they don't know about.
