Chapter 373: Snow Country Ends!
Ye Yu's trip continued.
Although there is an arrangement for the signing meeting, because Ye Yu came to the island country this time with the idea of walking around, increasing his experience, and distracting by the way, he is very relaxed in terms of time arrangement, and with the Gutian Publishing House as the host, and the accompanying company staff to arrange everything related to the signing meeting, Ye Yu and the others are still very leisurely.
This is also a rare leisurely appearance since his debut.
Traveling with the United States, I have to say, this is indeed a great joy in life.
Climb distant mountains, enter temples, visit courtyards, soak in hot springs, and occasionally get lost in the island countryside.
Even after the heavy snowfall in Niigata, several people played snowball fights and built snowmen with childlike innocence.
The days passed day by day in peace and leisure, and the serialization of "Snow Country" was also going on day by day.
It seems that because of Ye Yu's "admitting defeat", the popularity and influence of "Snow Country" in the island country have once again reached a new level.
Even Ye Yu's fans can't help but want to see what Ye Yu's "self-admitted" works are.
And as more and more content is published in "Snow Country", more people in the island countries can't help but fall in love with this work.
"Mourning" is the aesthetic criterion of the traditional literature of the entire island country, how can they not fall in love with such a work that interprets "mourning" to the extreme?
Even if you don't love it, it won't deny its excellence.
Heart-pounding, melancholy.
This is the feeling that "Snow Country" brings to readers, and the islanders chase the serialization in this feeling.
Even, there are many island people who doubt that Komako and Leaf are really human, the male protagonist Shimamura is a "traveler" predecessor when he was young, and "Snow Country" is the story of "a traveler" predecessor when he was young, and it is an autobiographical novel.
A lot of people are convinced of this.
Of course, they were clearly wrong.
First of all. What they call "a traveler" senior...... Ahem, I'm still very young, only 19 years old.
Secondly, in a previous life, "The Dancing Girl of Izu" was an autobiographical novel by Yasunari Kawabata, but "Snow Country" was not.
Although "Snow Country" is only serialized with a few thousand words per day. But the total is only about 80,000 words, so after ten days, it finally ushered in the end of the day.
……
Ye Yu typed down the last word, let out a long sigh, stunned, and was about to send it to the editor-in-chief of "Kyoto Literature and Art Daily", but he felt his arms tighten and was hugged tightly.
"What's wrong. Xiao Yao? Ye Yu asked softly.
He didn't turn his head, he knew it was Ye Yao.
Because at this moment, only Ye Yao was sitting beside him.
Su Xiaomo was pulled by Xiao Lori to go shopping, He Ru was dealing with things, and only Ye Yao sat beside him and watched him code.
Ye Yao didn't speak, but hugged Ye Yu tighter, and her face was tightly pressed against him, as if she was afraid of losing him.
Ye Yu was a little puzzled, frowned and thought for a while. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the draft of "Snow Country", and it dawned on me.
In Snowpiercer. The description of death makes people feel that for the author, death is the end of happiness, and after death, like everything in nature, people return to nothingness. This is also the previous life of Yasushi Kawabata's understanding of death.
In his previous life, Yasunari Kawabata won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968. Just four years later, in 1972, he committed suicide.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Yukio Mishima's suicide.
On November 25, 1970, Yukio Mishima, the "Hemingway of Japan", was at the pinnacle of his literary creation. Committed suicide for extremely radical political purposes. At that time, many writers rushed to the scene, but only Yasunari Kawabata was allowed to enter. Afterwards, Yasunari Kawabata was greatly stimulated, and he told his students, "I should have been the one who had his head cut off." ”
Seventeen months later, on April 16, 1972, Yasunari Kawabata also committed suicide, leaving no suicide note.
At the end of "Snow Country", when she saw the death of Ye Zi, the destruction of Koma, and Shimamura's performance, and thought of the sense of nothingness and futility that permeated the whole novel, Ye Yao was naturally very worried, worried that Ye Yu had something that could not be untied, and that there was something that could not be unbroken.
In this regard, Ye Yu was very speechless.
Admittedly, when he wrote "Snow Country", he felt a lot.
After all, writing it down word by word is obviously more touching than reading.
But that's about it, because this view of death is not his thoughts.
"Then if I write a great demon king who destroys the world, do you still doubt that I plan to destroy the world?" Ye Yu laughed.
For him, writing "Snow Country" was just a deeper study of "Snow Country".
Besides, even those who advocate death, how many will commit suicide?
What's more, he still has his parents, friends, and them.
Ye Yao was obviously overwhelmed, but her affection was undoubtedly revealed.
"I hate it~" Ye Yao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly glanced at it a few times, and saw that no one had come back, raised her head, stretched forward, and kissed Ye Yu on the face.
Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "How can it be enough to kiss your face!" ”
……
The next day, the ending of "Snow Country" was published in the Kyoto Literature and Art Newspaper.
So far, after more than ten days of serialization, "Snow Country", which has attracted wide attention not only in the island country, but even in China, has officially ended.
“…… Komako screams frantically, and Shimamura tries to get close to her, but is knocked aside by a group of men who push and shove. These men wanted to take the leaves from the foals and take them away. When Shimamura stood firm and looked up, the Milky Way seemed to pour out on his heart with a bang. (End of book)"
After reading "Snow Country" and seeing the three words "the whole book is finished" at the end, Uemura was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed for a long time.
Then, he looked at the end again.
Leaf is killed in a fire, and Komako holds her corpse "as if holding his own sacrifice and sins......
When the leaves die, the foals actually die.
They were destroyed at the same time.
Immediately, the novel comes to an abrupt end, and all images disappear into a sense of nothingness.
"Komako's life is a heroic tragedy, her efforts and struggles are real, but the results are illusory. Her love for Shimamura is so passionate, but it is not reciprocated. She's just a beautiful, futile effort. And the image of Ye Zi itself is a kind of nothingness, her beauty is a kind of sadness, like a dream, her image makes people feel that life is a big dream. As for the male protagonist Shimamura, he is a complete nihilist, believing that all existence is futile and meaningless, and even life is fickle and nihilistic. Uemura muttered, and couldn't help but sigh, "Is life just a futile battle?" ”
A good literary work can shake a person's outlook on life, values, and worldview.
There is no doubt that Hiroshi Uemura is like this at this moment, immersed in the sense of nothingness of "Snow Country", and he can't extricate himself for a long time.
But after all, he was a first-class writer in the island country, and after a while, he came to his senses, turned on his computer, created a new document, and began to write a manuscript.
"Snow Country" is over, how can you not cheer it on?
Let that Chinese person know that he knows how powerful he knows, and he knows the gap!
