w88 casino News Network (Internship Reporter Qiu Kunxu Photography Yu Splash Creek)2018At 18:30 on October 26, 2019, the opening ceremony of the 6th UIBE Foreign Language Season and Lin Shaohua’s special lecture "Haruki Murakami I saw and translated - from "Norwegian Wood" to "Knight Leader" was held as scheduled in the International Lecture Hall on the third floor of the Integrity Building. The venue was crowded and all seats were occupied.Li Feng, Secretary of the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino, Guo Deyu, Li Ziying, Jiang Li, deputy deans of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, Li Yan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, Chen Ling, director of the Office of the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino, Yang Yi, the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino, and teacher representatives of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages attended the event. In addition, heads of various w88 casino-level organizations also attended the opening ceremony.
At the beginning of the lecture, Li Yan delivered a speech for the opening ceremony of the foreign language season. Afterwards, Mr. Lin Shaohua and on-site leaders participated in the opening ceremony. The scroll slowly unfolded, the gold dust shook off, and the "Sixth UIBE Foreign Language Season" was clearly visible, and the moment of the opening ceremony was frozen.
Mr. Lin Shaohua started by teasing himself by saying, "The older you get, the busier you get, and the busier you get, the older you get." He lowered his profile to get closer to his classmates, and won countless fans amid the laughter and applause of the whole room. Lin Shaohua then used a line drawing-like tone and absolute first-hand exclusive memory to share with his classmates what he intuitively saw of Haruki Murakami: ordinary, simple, self-preservative, and a "person without makeup in his heart." From this, he talked about his understanding of Haruki Murakami as a translator: first, the pursuit of soul freedom. Lin Shaohua said that Murakami has been asking people whether they are truly free and whether they are pursuing freedom, and he has a meticulous understanding and concern for the freedom of the soul.Do not succumb to the system and external oppression; the second is loneliness. Lin Shaohua believes that Murakami's awareness of loneliness makes his works imbued with a sense of fate, thereby sublimating a unique aesthetic landscape. This kind of loneliness does not mean isolation, but rather "digging holes" deeply through writing novels to find a sense of connection with others and maintain communication with the outside world; the third is the relationship with China. Murakami once said: "History is the collective memory of the country, and we must fight against historical revisionism to the end." It is undeniable that Haruki Murakami's growing Chinese readers are inseparably linked to his correct historical understanding; the fourth is about the Nobel Prize for Literature. Lin Shaohua specifically quoted Murakami's own response to "accompanying" the Nobel Prize: "The most important thing is the readers, which is more important than anything else." This vividly demonstrates Murakami's light and easy character. Lin Shaohua believes that Murakami's works meet the original criteria of the Nobel Prize for "outstanding idealistic works" and are very likely to win the prize in the future.
During the interactive question-and-answer session, students enthusiastically asked questions, and Mr. Lin Shaohua patiently answered them, further stimulating everyone’s thinking about translation. After signing autographs and taking photos, the lecture ended successfully.
This event is sponsored by the Communist Youth League w88 casino Committee and the Student Union of the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino.
