무라카미 하루키(村上春樹)문학에서의 숲(林)과 동아시아

Abstract

A potential wandering of China means not only a diverting from previously programmed concept of China but also my own imagination of China in the chaotic state of a small portion of poison. A dark painful shadow grown hard like a rubber soul comes from jelly-humid spiritual darkness. The reason why a little Chinese girl utters “it is not the place I belong to” is tantamount to saying that she aboard on Sputinique travels the universe alone and realizes that she herself is “a nowhere man,” thereby attempting to escape from there like the person Truman in the movie. Freeing oneself from the past thinking rule to lead oneself to a world as it is, we need to have personal courage which will deliver us from a chaotic world. We also have to understand that a system is a tool made for human being, not even for the system itself. A system without soul is unable to become an aim. In the past two World Wars, humans were sacrificed for the system whose byproducts are still going on. First of all, individuals need to understand the system they belong to and should not give themselves up to the system. The system here is not the goal for system's sake; the system is not a godlike being. East Asians such as China, Japan, and Korea have dreams to build a world in which they have their own ideals free from the previously made system.
