"The Catcher in the Rye" is a story about a bear child who doesn't study well and fights with people and runs away from home.

The main character, Holden, is a 16-year-old middle school student born into a wealthy middle-class family.

He wore a trench coat and a hunting hat all day, wandering, unwilling to read.

He was tired of everything in the school — teachers, classmates, homework, ball games, etc., and another semester was over, and he was expelled from the school for failing four of his five homework.

He didn't feel bad at all, and after a fight with his roommate, he left school late at night and returned to New York City.

But he didn't dare to go home rashly, and stayed in a small hotel late that night.

For the next two days, he wandered around, spending money to find a woman, but when the woman came, he was scared again, and was beaten up.

He couldn't get used to his girlfriend's hypocrisy, broke up with his girlfriend, went to a movie alone, and went to a bar to get drunk with an old classmate.

He went into the toilet and put his head in the basin and soaked it in cold water for a while before he came to his senses.

Thinking that he might die of pneumonia and never see his sister Fei Bi again, he decided to venture home and say goodbye to her.

When he returned home, he told his sister about his frustrations and ideals, and told her that he would become a "catcher in the wheat field" in the future.

Later, when his parents returned, he slipped out of the house and ran into a teacher who was probably gay, so he had to spend the night in the waiting room of the station.

Holden didn't want to go home again, and didn't want to go to school anymore, so he decided to go west to earn a living, pretending to be a deaf and dumb man.

Before leaving, he wanted to meet his sister and asked her to meet at the museum's art gallery.

After a long time, Fei Bi finally came, but she dragged a large box full of her clothes, and she must go to the west with her brother.

In the end, because of the ineffectiveness of persuasion of his sister, Holden had to give up his trip to the west and take her to the zoo and park for a while.

Fei Fei rode on the merry-go-round and rejoiced.

It was raining heavily, and Holden sat on the bench in the rain, and watched Fei Bi go round and round, and his heart was so happy that he almost screamed, and he decided not to run away from home.

Shortly after returning home, Holden fell seriously ill and was sent to a nursing home.

He stayed in a nursing home, and he had no interest in which school he would be sent to after being discharged from the hospital, whether he wanted to study hard.

This is a novel that describes the inner world of teenagers, and the protagonist's anxiety about the future, his anger at society, and his own confusion can resonate with readers.

It does not belong to a certain era, but writes about the common problems encountered by adolescents.

Everyone has a youth of their own, which may be different from Holden's, but there is always something special.

In 1774, the German poet Goethe wrote The Sorrows of Young Werther, which is said to be an autobiographical novel.

Born into a wealthier middle-class family, Werther was poetic, natural, and sentimental.

He meets a judge's daughter, Greendy, and becomes infatuated with her, but Greendy is already engaged.

Witte returned to the city and worked as a clerk in the legation.

He tried to adapt himself to the job as much as possible, but his bureaucratic boss found fault with his job and made it difficult for him, and he eventually resigned in anger.

He encountered all kinds of injustices in society, and became more and more distressed, feeling that there was no way out of life.

One day before Christmas, he came to his sweetheart Ludi again to say his last goodbye, and committed suicide after leaving a suicide note.

In 1987, Yu Hua published a novel in Beijing Literature called "Traveling Far Away at the Age of Eighteen".

The eighteen-year-old protagonist was forced by his father to go out to see the world.,He took the backpack handed over by his father.,Very happy to go out.,What will be waiting for him?

He first traded a cigarette for a free ride, and was proud of it, a tractor that transports apples.

Later, the tractor broke down, and the surrounding mountain people snatched the apples from the car, and they even injured the protagonist who blocked it.

And the real owner of the apple, the driver, is indifferent and laughs at the injured protagonist.

In the end, the driver snatched the hero's luggage and left with the mountain people, and the hero became the only victim, standing alone in front of the broken down tractor.

These absurd things are like a bomb, destroying the original values of the protagonist.

The protagonist travels for the first time at the age of eighteen with passion and dreams, but the real world gives him a blow in the face.

The novel uses a rather absurd approach to show the various encounters of young people in their growth stage when they move towards the adult world: ideal and reality, struggle and helplessness, cruelty and warmth, loss and gain, etc.

Yu Hua's "Eighteen-Year-Old Journey" is influenced by Kafka, showing the reality of the world in the absurd.

In 2006, Jin He wrote another article "Chinese-style Youth".

The protagonist is called Li Xiangyang, a superman born in China, and this is a story about Li Xiangyang and Ding Ding.

Lin Zixuan felt that the writing was better than "The Legend of Wukong", at least he thought he understood it, and he was very emotional.

These are all novels that describe how young people face the real world, is it a struggle or a compromise?

What kind of youth should we spend?

In 1962, Bob Dylan's song "Drifting in the Wind" caused a huge response in the United States and even around the world.

Throughout the sixties and seventies in the United States, the rebellious youth of the United States, known as the "Beat Generation," played old guitars and hummed this song written against the Vietnam War, rebuilding a new culture in the midst of doubt.

In 1994, the movie "Forrest Gump" was released.

The "Beat Generation," who are no longer in their youth, rushed into the movie theater to watch the film, listening to "Drifting in the Wind" over and over again, and looking back at every fragment of their youth with those cameras.

They felt that they were the group of people who followed Forrest Gump, running through their youth without stopping.

When they look back, they will say, "I've always been on the road all my life, and I've never figured out where I'm going, and as for the ideal, I never knew what it was."

Back in "The Catcher in the Rye," Holden looks at the world with cold eyes and feels like a bystander.

He didn't have much motivation to live, and there weren't many times in the world that could make him emotional, except to watch his sister ride her beloved wooden horse in the pouring rain.

Holden's heart was full of restlessness and dissatisfaction, he didn't understand what to pursue, he didn't understand what adults were pursuing, he laughed at this and laughed at that, and in the end he didn't know what to do.

The youth of each generation is different, but there are always some things in common.

"There was a group of children playing in a big wheat field. Tens of thousands of kids, not a single person around — not a single adult, I mean — except me. I'm standing on the edge of that bastard's precipice. My job is to keep watch there, and if any of the kids come running towards the edge of the cliff, I'm going to catch them—I mean the kids are running wild, and they don't know where they're going, and I've got to get out of somewhere and catch them. That's what I do all day. I just want to be a catcher in the wheat field. ”
