A letter to Mr. A.J.F, the owner of Island Bookstore.
Dear aj:

I really don't know what to call you (or you) when facing a stranger who has never met and loves books. )。 I don't think you care about these manners either. However, if I really want to show my respect and love for you, I think it must be novels and short stories (you have always liked short stories, and you said you would have the patience to read them all at once), but I have been thinking for a long time and don't know what kind of China novels to recommend to you (I think you must have read all foreign novels, at least that's what I know). You won't like Thick China and the four classical novels-A Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin, Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention the English version may not make you fully understand the true meaning of the original content. To tell the truth, although I have read some novels, I have never understood what novels are (this must be very sad! If I say so to your face). So, after talking nonsense for a long time, I still don't want to recommend anything to you (on the contrary, I hope you can recommend me some books that are suitable for reading at the right time, and you have that ability, I'm sure).

A.J., I remember you saying: There is a problem that you have never understood, and that is why it is much easier for people to write about sad and painful experiences than happy things. If you ask me, it's because people always like to magnify their pain and sorrow and let the whole world know how sad and painful they are (of course, this is only my personal understanding, I don't know if you can accept it). If you want to write about other people's painful experiences, it is to express your sympathy so as to gain more people's resonance (even so, I still want to mention those unfortunate, maybe lucky things that happened to you, whatever! Who cares?

Hey, A.J. is very painful and sad about the unfortunate death of your wife, because you love each other very much and run a bookstore on a distant island-Alice Island (you really have the courage to choose that island)! What a wonderful love it is to have common interests and pursuits and love each other (I also long for it)! And when I see your sadness, I feel very sorry for it (of course, please don't think that I am expressing any good feelings for you, just out of respect, I know you will understand, after all, you are so smart). I still remember the words on the sign hanging in your bookstore: no one is an island, and a book is a world. It can be seen that your love for books has reached a level that ordinary people can't easily achieve! And that kind of realm is what our society lacks now (can you tell me how you did it? This question is really stupid.

A.j., I'd like to see what kind of book your Timur Rare Book is. It's really appetizing From the beginning of your life to the end of your life, I have been thinking about Timur. Perhaps this is the reason why "things are rare"! However, God is not always cruel. When a door is closed, it will also open a window for you. Otherwise, how can there be a lovely and clever adopted daughter-Maya who likes reading and thinking like you (you must be very happy in your heart, right? I was actually a father for a while. And her name reminds me of Mayan culture, and I think it also represents some expectations for her. But then again, thanks to Maya's mother, you have a sensible daughter, and she has such a wonderful father. I even think you were father and daughter in your last life and got along so well.

Jacko, I have to say, you have to thank Maya. She makes you regain your self-confidence, love life and dare to love others again (don't deny it). Because the truth is right in front of you-you fell in love with Amy and got married-the woman who sold you books and worked in a publishing house. Before you and Amy have a spark, I really think you are a stubborn bookworm. You must find someone with common tastes, common language and topics to talk to, which will be reflected when you date other women. But when you meet Amy again and she sells you books again, you don't like each other as much as you did the first time, but you start trying to understand each other's life, not just talking about work. When I learned that Amy had a long-distance boyfriend, I couldn't help laughing when I saw your disappointment. I can imagine your mood and the expression on your face (anyone who has been in love can imagine). Even to meet Amy, I asked my friend Lan Buys to drive Maya and me to the park. I didn't expect an old man who is almost half a year old to have such a romantic and shy side. However, you finally did it, and you did meet Amy as you wished. At the same time, you also won yourself an opportunity-Amy broke up with her boyfriend (don't get carried away, your appearance is not necessarily more popular than her boyfriend's, but your thoughts and conversations are beyond her boyfriend's power). All right! So, you win.

A.j. was incoherent because the letter was written suddenly. You can write whatever you want, but it will never make you bored. Don't worry, it won't be a novel, so I hope you can continue to read it patiently.

A.J., you are a good father (maybe you never know it, and no one has said so), but others saw it and just forgot to mention it to you! Of course, it will be difficult for you to raise a child from someone who knows nothing about raising a child. However, you have not chosen to give up, and you will still worry about what she will become if she is fostered in a family with few books. You seem to realize that she is still very important to you, at least in this regard. I'm glad you didn't send her away, otherwise there would be nothing in your world except books. That won't do. After all, we are human beings, emotional and conscious higher animals, aren't we? We will involuntarily feel the truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood, ugliness and ugliness around us, accept and pay, love and be responsible (how do you feel a sense of preaching? Please forgive me for being superficial and ignorant, and Maya is the one who brought these things to you again. Of course, you didn't disappoint her. Through the subtle influence of your environment and your love for books on her, she has great performance in imagination and creativity, and those who grow up. Of course, this also has a lot to do with your educational methods.

? A.j., you are a good husband (your ex-wife and Amy's good partner). Because you are not easy to love. If you can't talk to a woman about childhood in the first place, prepare to retreat. That's why Amy is so fascinated. Amy will break up with her ex-boyfriend. Just like Amy said: Talking to you reminds her of how important it is to contact someone and share her passion! To be honest, at that moment, I really felt like Amy. Although I have a boyfriend, I have nothing to say except simple daily communication. This feeling is really hard. We all say that we know each other very well, but we don't want to go into each other's inner world and still live and advance on our own track. When I think about these things, I often lose sleep because I don't know how to choose. Sometimes I blame you for revealing my true thoughts and then I can't sleep at night. But I know I must learn to face it. I really envy your love with Amy, which is not only based on material things, but also on spiritual aspects. That kind of love is hard to come by, but it is also hard to get. But you are lucky after all, because in the vast sea of people, you finally met. And the person you have been looking for is only the distance between two trains and a boat. I think the most important reason is because you have a firm belief!

? A.j., you are a smart man, and you can read and write. I really can't imagine what a bookstore owner can do besides reading on an isolated island. As for why he wants to open a bookstore in a remote island instead of a corner of a bustling city, I'm afraid it's not only because of lack of funds, but also because he wants to take books to more remote places, so that people who can't see the outside world for a lifetime can understand the world from books, and of course, his love for books themselves (A.J. Am I right for some reasons? )。 Because I think you are that kind of person, so is your wife, so that your police friends later fell in love with reading because of you, and learned a lot of fun and knowledge from it, and also set up a police reading selection meeting. When we first met, your conversation with Amy left a deeper impression on me. You have your own unique views on every book you read or understand, instead of following others' suggestions, and you also have your own views on their writing techniques. what can I say? You are the only person I know who reads best (literally). This is very helpful to me. I have to learn from you. Reading is not the better, but the more you read. It is most effective to have your own opinions and thinking. Otherwise, it's a cursory look, and the last thing you can remember is probably only one title. I really don't think this will work. Luckily, I met you in time. Thank you!

? A.j. Sometimes "a good man's life is safe" is just a white lie, which I suddenly realized after I knew you had cancer, but I still want to believe in its power, don't I? At least before that, you had something more precious than what you lost, didn't you? At the same time, I also believe that your departure will not be easily forgotten, because what you have taught people will fill them with infinite gratitude, and then be passed down from generation to generation and spread to every corner of the world.

? A.j. I'm really sorry to let you see such a long letter with no actual content. If you really don't understand, just tear it up quietly! If you have the patience to read it, it will be my pleasure! There's plenty of time, and I want to continue talking to you.

? Wish you all the best in heaven!

? Best wishes to you!

? sincerely
