Norwegian forest. Mainly tells the story of Watanabe's first love Naoko. She was the girlfriend of Watanabe high school classmate Muyue, but Muyue committed suicide and Naoko lived alone. A year later, Watanabe and Naoko met and started dating. Naoko became dignified and shy, and there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes. Naoko had sex with them on the night of his 20th birthday, but Naoko would disappear the next day. A few months later, Naoko wrote that she was sent to a mental hospital in the mountains. When Watanabe visited Naoko, he found that Naoko began to have the plump and exquisite beauty of a mature woman. She also met Reiko Kobayakawa, who lives in the same dormitory as Naoko. Before leaving, Watanabe said that she would wait for Naoko forever.
Later, I met Qing Zi in a small restaurant in Watanabe, because Qing Zi borrowed his class notes of Drama History II. After Green's father died, Watanabe began to see young Green. Green is the antonym of introverted Naoko. Very pure, very lively. During this period, Watanabe was very depressed and confused. On the one hand, Naoko's endless lingering pain and tenderness. On the other hand, she can't resist Yoko's bold confession and charming vitality. Shortly after the news of Naoko's suicide came out, Watanabe gave up hiking. Finally, with the encouragement of Naoko's roommate Zi Ling, I began to explore life.
Naoko feels lost in the cold of the forest, which symbolizes the loss, fear, groping and confusion that young people must experience. Watanabe tried many times to save Naoko, but sometimes even he lost his way. Norwegian forests express self-salvation in the process of saving others. The redemption of youth is not the love of both sexes, but the love of society and others.
