Reading:
"Oranges are not the only fruit", yes, I bought this book for this name and cover.
This book brings me a familiar feeling. When I read the previous one, I recalled another book I read last year - " You Are Flying to Your Mountains like a Bird ". At first I just felt that it was a bit similar in writing techniques, or in terms of narration. But at first glance, they feel a little similar, especially there are also parents who are "gods and immortals" who are all thinking about the end of the world.
Only after reading it did I feel that what they expressed was different, but the core ideas were very similar. They all express a kind of possibility of the world. In a sentence on the cover of the book, it is "One day, we will find that the wall collapses, and it turns out that there are other worlds, destiny, and other possibilities outside."
This is a girl born in a Christian family. If nothing unexpected happens, this girl will become a missionary.
But this girl fell in love with another girl. From the moment she fell in love with the girl, there was not only a God in her heart, but also an orange devil appeared.
orange peel is very hard and can't peel it off no matter how hard it is.
Finally, I finally pried off the layer of orange peel as hard as armor, and the orange devil was located in the center of the orange.
In the wandering between God and the devil, the girl ran away from home, left her family, left her studies, left her faith, left her so-called "normal"
walls are shelter and also restriction. The essence of the wall is destined to collapse. Blow your horn and you will see the walls collapse.
Next, please read the strong emotions of the girl in the book
I long for someone to love me violently until death, understand that life is as powerful as death, and stand by my side forever. I long for someone to destroy me and be destroyed by me.
There are so many loves in the world, and some people can spend their whole lives together but don’t know each other’s names. Naming is a difficult and time-consuming event; it involves essence and also means power. Otherwise, on a wild night, who can call you home? Only those who know your name can do it.
Romantic love has been diluted into paperback sensational novels, selling thousands of copies. But somewhere, it still retains its original form, portrayed on the stone slab.
I can cross the ocean and let the heat rush. I can give up everything I have, but I will never do it for a man, because they just want to be the destroyer, but never want to be destroyed. That's why, they are out of place with romantic love. Of course there are exceptions, and I wish them happiness.
This book will have someone who empathizes with than I read.
