Chapter 323: Kenji Miyazawa

Shortly before nine o'clock in the evening, Kishimoto showed up at the Manila bar. The décor of this small bar is a little simpler. The furnishing tables, sofas, etc., in the bar, all show their old side.

The business is not very good, and the profit margin is not large, so it can barely be maintained, and it will not close down. It provides a good place for people from the bottom of society to relax, entertain and relax.

The reason why Kishimoto Masayoshi appeared here is that he concealed his true identity and joined a club between literary youth.

There are not many of them, there are dozens of people in total. There are nine people who can gather here tonight. They came one after another, and each of them found a random place to sit down.

Their topic tonight is mainly around Kenji Miyazawa. Kenji Miyazawa had little fame during his lifetime, and the fairy tale "Crossing the Snowfield" was the only work he received remuneration for during his lifetime, published in the magazine "Patriotic Woman".

Some people know the name of Kenji Miyazawa, a Japanese writer, probably from another of his widely circulated fairy tales, "Night on the Galaxy Railway".

Otherwise, it is the manga animation "Writer Inuye" of later generations. Today, his place in the history of Japanese literature is, if not one of the best, a leading figure.

From elementary school to middle school, and then to university, whether public or private, there is no Chinese textbook that they choose independently to teach to students. ”

As far as Kishimoto himself is concerned, he can borrow Haruki Murakami's evaluation of Kenji Miyazawa's work to express his true inner thoughts, which is really not his own dish.

In this one, he inadvertently reminded him of the black humorous story of the pure literary writer in the unpopular Japanese drama masterpiece "World Wonderful Story: 1997 SP: Suicide and Grievance".

Because his son had no money to go to college, the writer thought of reprinting his book, which had only sold 3,000 copies.

As a result, not even a single copy of the reprinted book was sold. The writer thought about committing suicide to increase sales, but various accidents struck him and he couldn't die.

He suddenly became popular by accident, and the book also sold 250,000 copies. Just when he was proud and didn't want to commit suicide, a group of children knocked a baseball in his direction.

When the writer tried to catch it, his feet slipped, he stepped on top of his three books, and the back of his head hit the rock, and he died.

Kenji Miyazawa devoted himself to writing during his lifetime, but he was not taken seriously, but became famous only after his death. 1996 coincided with Kenji Miyazawa's 100th birthday, and Japan once again set off the Miyazawa fever.

Kenji Miyazawa has a tendency to be deified in the Japanese literary world, in addition to the special style of his works, but also because his works always contain endless deep meanings, as if they are inexhaustible to explore, which has also triggered the ardent research style of Kenji Miyazawa in later generations.

Publishing houses compete to publish various editions of Kenji Miyazawa's complete works, as well as his biographies, studies of his works, and even his constellations, botanical illustrated books, and films about his life.

In addition to a detailed examination of his works, he also made a comprehensive discussion of his background, thoughts, and concepts. In order to be able to make the most complete presentation of Kenji Miyazawa, who has a variety of appearances.

It is as if the Japanese cultural publishing industry held a Kenji Miyazawa Festival. It must be mentioned that although Kenji Miyazawa wrote a lot, most of them were unpublished works during his lifetime.

Moreover, Miyazawa has always revised his works repeatedly, many of which are unfinished and unfinalized. Therefore, the works of Miyazawa seen today are not complete, and there are often missing words or scattered passages in the text.

Because it was sorted out by later generations, many creations have been retained in their original appearance under the principle of respecting the original creator. However, with Kenji Miyazawa's status in the Japanese literary world, even if the fragments are only a word, they are regarded as treasures.

Moreover, even if there are omissions, it does not hinder the excellence of his works and the coherence of his literary style. This has even become a characteristic of Kenji Miyazawa's literature.

Seeing the possibility of perfection in imperfection may arouse people's interest in exploring Kenji Miyazawa's literature. The long river of time will always remove the chaffles for the world, and in the vast sea of books, screen out the eternal good articles.

Kenji Miyazawa's era is nearly a century ago, and perhaps the giant wheel of civilization is moving forward mercilessly, but there are always some traces left behind that are eternal, that is, the yearning for a pure heart, the pursuit of eternal life, and the insistence on dreaming.

Joji Minamino is a die-hard fan of Kenji Miyazawa. He began with a rambling story, and he was also showing off in front of everyone that he was different from them.

After he finished speaking, Kishimoto put forward his different point of view: "Kenji Miyazawa died of exhaustion and depression.

When he was alive, he wrote works that were not understood, and after he died, he became famous. But when a person dies, will he still know all this? No matter how high the honor is, it will not help.

I just value living in the moment. Whether it is traditional or popular, the only thing that interests me is whether I can enjoy, think, and enlighten spiritually......"

As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately fell into an extraordinary silence. This is absolutely the truth, and it also says what they think in their hearts, but they can't say it.

Some of them are poor, and they know better than anyone how terrible it can be. The horror of poverty can not only easily induce evil thoughts in human nature, but also pass it on from generation to generation.

If you don't strive to change and get rid of poverty, then your next generation is very likely to continue to live in poverty. Or, you won't have any offspring, and that's the end of it.

Not to mention Japan, which is a high-pressure society, and Tokyo, which is an international metropolis. With money, you can live as if you are in heaven, lamenting that life is too short, and living like a day.

Without money, you can only live as if you were in hell, lamenting that life is too long, and living like years. To be poor is to commit a sin.

With that, Kishimoto picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip of what was inside, but didn't put it down.

He took the glass in his hand, and without hypocrisy, he revealed his truest thoughts: "I must not live as a slave and die as a rest."

I have a dream of owning a super mansion of thousands of square meters in Minato-ku, with a view of not only the city of Tokyo, but also the unbeatable sea view of Tokyo Bay.

I have a dream, my girlfriends are fat and thin, one is more delicate and beautiful than the other, and the beauties of all countries are waiting for me.

I have a dream that I want to be the object of jealousy among the high-level club PR ladies in Ginza.

I have a dream, I also want to have a supercar, a private yacht, a private jet, my own publishing house, my own bookstore......"

He put Martin?? Luther King's "I Have a Dream" has made changes to the content, but it still leaves the sentence structure that expresses the most sincere feelings in the heart.

"It seems that Kishimoto-san has very high ambitions! Kamiji Minamino said with a smile on his face.

"Don't you want to have a future where your dreams come true?" Kishimoto asked bluntly.

Kamiji Minamino was speechless for a moment. If you stiffen your neck and have to say the word "don't want to", it is tantamount to showing hypocrisy in front of the other party and everyone.

Yes, everybody wants to. However, not everyone can make all this come true. He knew it in his heart, and for people like them, it was more of a fantasy than a dream.

Japanese society is seriously solidified, and it is not something that can be broken through if you want to. If you don't have outstanding talents, plus some good luck, you can only be lustful.
