Haruki Murakami, Japanese contemporary writer, is popular in Europe and other Asian country by his works'special style, individuated language manner, a mingled background of the west and orient , exact and profound reflection of contemporary urbanite. Even if there are "Phenomenon of Haruki Murakami".In China his works is welcomed widely. But the domestic study of Haruki Murakami concentrates on his saga novel, the study of his novelettes and short Stories is little (you can make reference to my investigation in the addendum). I think we still have study room of his saga novel, but in view of the study of his novelettes and short Stories is almost blank and the study of the latter is helpful to the former, so I choose the novelettes and short Stories for my main study object. Make the viewpoint—Thought of Urbanite's Surviving Mess" to my lemma. I wish I can gain some instructive opinion of his novelettes and short Stories, and at the same time to express my understanding of his works' holistic keynote. Chapter I: Urbanite of lost soulJapanese economy developed with a very fast speed since 1960's and 1970's, Japan become the second super developed country of the world. Japanese life enhanced quickly, many people have ascendant creature comfort. However these urbanites are not happy as we imagined, they have the strong felling of spirit lost; they profoundly taste the loneliness in the crowd. Haruki Murakami's novel deliver the urbanite's feeling of losing , melancholiness, emptiness and pang. Chapter II: Urbanite of attempting to revoltCity is mixed of comfort creature comfort, handily consuming life and pressure, competition,unbending intercommunion. When the urbanite take possession of city's convenient and wealth, they also have the strong feeling of longliness. pangs and blank. They always want to use all kinds of method to revolt the city. They wish they can get back the losted self and find the ideal life style. Haruki Murakami's works express the urbanite's revolting feeling by animadverting on industrial civilization , delineation of the urbanite's negative stance and revolting allegories. At the same time, Haruki Murakami who have a profound cognition of Japanese society, give expression to the urbanite's compromise when they can't find the revolting way.ChapterIII: Urbanite of questing redemptionThe people that live in the flourishing city aren't relaxing as it seems, they hold on their painful and boring life in the city which just like a big machine. Life is obduracy and stiff, if we want to be survived we must seek the way of debouching the mess and gaining redemption. Fortunately there is a sooth heart under everyone's stiff appearance. In his works Haruki Murakami tell us that we must treat everyone with warmth and love which can make ourselves be saved. Meanwhile Haruki Murakami still construct a warm and poetic little room in his works by detailed delineate of daily life detail , soulful keep watching of hometown, infinite yearn of naive affection and shaping years and positive delineate of lonely subsistence. All this make urbanite gain comprehensive pacify and geniality. ConclusionThere are serious reflection of society , sober cognition of praxis , staid consideration of urbanite's surviving mess and formidable search of saving way in Haruki Murakami novel world, base on these we think that Haruki Murakami's works are howbeit belles-lettres. In composing traits Haruki Murakami's works more incarnate blending of oriental and western culture, there are impact of western modernism and oriental traditional culture's traits of blending of exterior and inherence, intermixing of teen and gratification and philosophy.
