In 1980, he wrote the novel "Slow Boat to China", which describes a protagonist who has met three Chinese people and has a strong interest in Chinese culture. His mood while waiting to go to China is full of nihilism. In 1981, he served as an editorial board member of Waseda Literature magazine. He has published novels "The Pinball Machine of 1973" (1982), "Sheep Hunting Adventures" (1982), and "Norwegian Wood" (1987) - which have sold more than 7 million copies so far, making the author the best-selling author in Japan The author of "Dance of Youth" (1988), "The End of the World and Grim Wonderland" (1985), etc., as well as a large number of short stories.

Among them, "Norwegian Wood" is especially popular among young readers. His works are generally written in the first person, with strong self-narration, and the main plots revolve around "I". Describes the depression and decadence of the young generation in the highly materially developed Japanese society. They are all insatiable consumers of material products. They usually set up a "lost and found" plot, which is absurd and funny. It is serious yet meaningless, and its characters are characterized by being flat, symbolic, impersonal and irrational. Haruki Murakami is considered a typical Japanese postmodernist writer.
