| | 面包樹出走了.... a Chinese novel
For the first time ever, I have actually read and finished a Chinese novel - and a Hong Kong author too.
I have read various short stories or 'exchange diaries' of various Chinese authors from Taiwan........ ... but is it discrimination? or... i dont know... but I never had any interest to read a full novel........
So... this 'bread tree ran away' seems to have been quite popular for a while.
Its a love novel (seems like thats the main topic in Hong Kong writing.... thats just my thought... I cannot say thats a fact).
This novel, was brought to me by my alcohol friend..... drinking friend.
Its about a girl, blindly in love with a boy.
They have broken up once, but they got back together.
Then another girl comes up, and original girl finds boy with that girl.
Boy denies anything with new girl, but old girl doesn't believe and leaves.
Then original girl meets a new boy and as she is trying to forget the old boy she falls in love with the new boy.
Original boy breaks up with the new girl, tells the original girl he still loves her.
Original girl is already with new boy, tells the original boy you are so selfish you only love yourself. I will not fall for you again.. denies him.
Original girl and new boy goes on well.. they go on some fab trip for nye countdown....
Before heading out to the nice restaurant for the countdown, original girl gets a call from her friend...... the new girl had informed original girl's frd that the original boy had disappeared for six hours after diving somewhere.
Original girl hangs up the phone, with complex feelings, and go on out with the new boy, all the while lost and confused in the head.
And then the novel ends.
EEEEEHHHHHH...
the book was an easy read.. the words were not difficult..... but some of the song lyrics in it.... i cannot understand...... would i recommend this book?..... i dont understand the greatness in the book.....
maybe it is one of those i cant understand the 'in the trend' things.... or maybe my chinese was not good enough to understand the novel fully.
it was a weird read
oh, but there was a part in the novel that i found amusing
original girl asked new guy why he broke up with his ex
new guy said his ex claimed he didnt love her, that she couldn't feel his 'love'
original girl ask new guy did you love her?
new guy said he 'cared about her'.
original girl ask, do you think about her everyday? do you miss her? are you afraid of losing her?
new guy answered no
original girl says, what u had was 'like', you liked her, you didnt love her
what?
that is the definition of love? u think about the other everyday n miss him all the time n is afraid of losing her?
that is very different from other definitions i have heard. if u really really loved someone, u dont need to possess him but will be happy when hes happy and wish for his very best...
...... ?
what is your definition of love?
