The image of Dylan, the protagonist, makes me feel relaxed, aloof but also has personality. Maybe 15 years old should be like this. I embarked on a journey to find my father with my longing and longing for my biological father. Unexpectedly, life is like a naughty child, always playing tricks on the fate of others. When the train accident happened, I thought I was the only survivor, but I didn't know that fate had brought her into another game.
When Tristan appeared on the hillside far from the tunnel entrance, I was still curious about his identity. When he hypnotized Dylan's coolness and indifference, I thought it wouldn't really be science fiction. When Tristan took Dylan to the first safe house, I was completely confused by the plot. Is Dylan dreaming or not? Which is the real situation? It is this unpredictability that lures me to keep looking for the truth. When I was sure Dylan was really dead and Tristan was not human. Suddenly there was a feeling of deja vu. In Mr. Yu Hua's new book The Seventh Day, isn't it that he is no longer a human being and criticizes the world with his "soul" after death? Is The Ferry Man the same routine?
What I can guess is that the two will become interdependent and protect each other until no one can live without each other. It wasn't until Dylan waited anxiously in the safe house for Tristan, who was in deep danger, to protect her that I had a bold imagination. Could it be that Tristan really didn't survive? And the burden of the ferryman falls on Dylan? Through her constant efforts, what happened in the end ... Obviously, my expectations were wrong.
The indifferent but kind ferryman is trying to protect the pure soul, but he is also crossing the mountains and seas, and he will continue to deal with the hateful demons. There are other spaces outside the human world, other elves, whose themes are protection, courage, resistance to cognition and the most important love. What I can think of in my mind is Master Miyazaki Hayao's latest animated blockbuster! In my mind, Spirited Away's animated images emerge one after another. I really read it with relish and my blood is boiling!
Read this book carefully in bed. If you really want to give a reasonable explanation to the "ferryman", I think it should be like this. The book has always emphasized that what Dylan saw in the wilderness was her spiritual image. When she lived in the world, she didn't like climbing mountains and was afraid of swimming. So she will encounter these two serious obstacles when crossing the border between the two worlds. The more she fears depression, the worse the environment she faces, and the weather changes with her mood! If Dylan crossed the border between the two worlds for the first time because of Tristan's protection. Then Dylan's second smooth crossing depends on her persistence in faith, courage to overcome inner fears and determination to overcome difficulties! If Tristan was Dylan's first ferryman, who was the second ferryman? There is no doubt-it's yourself! It is obvious why Dylan finally returned to the human world with Tristan. Love is put aside because of courage! Dylan later had the courage to dare to resist the existing cognition, the courage to try, and the courage to face and overcome difficulties. Yes, you should also have the courage to pursue and protect love.
Swing from side to side, only you and your courage can ferry you.
