In his previous life, Koyanagi had studied the modern history of Japan. ∽

After World War II, Japan, like China, also entered an era of decadence, but unlike China, Japan was fortunate not to take a detour, and from the beginning, it embarked on the right path and thus became an advanced country.

This is an undeniable fact. This kind of growth from scratch is very amazing. On the whole, its development has always been far ahead of other capitalist countries, and its macro and microeconomic benefits are beyond the reach of other capitalist countries. In one fell swoop, it has gone from a dilapidated and impoverished island country to an advanced capitalist country.

There are undoubtedly important reasons for the main reasons for these situations.

First, in the process of restoring the market economy in post-war Japan, an economic system in which the government, financial institutions, socio-economic organizations, enterprises, employees, and consumers were coordinated. It can be said that they created a lot of wealth and rebuilt Japan.

Second, it is very important to pay attention to science and technology, because the resources of the island countries are insufficient, and they are always controlled by others, and the lack of oil immediately caused a crisis, and when they attach importance to science and technology, and set up the goal of "building a country with science and technology", they will immediately get rid of the interference of the oil crisis.

Thirdly, it is undoubtedly very prescient to strengthen the alliance of foreign powers, to absorb the technology, management, and knowledge of other countries, and at the same time to defend against the undesirable effects of this - the invasion of capital by other countries, and the formation of various trade combinations.

Fourth, we have reasonably strengthened the management system, created a complete set of comprehensive quality management system, and occupied overseas markets with high-quality, low-cost and thoughtful products; Establish a strong financial organization system and corresponding financial system to solve the problem of insufficient funds of enterprises, etc.

The second is the political reason, which is not to be mentioned.

Throughout Japan's recent history, there are many other shining points in the miracles created by these glorious huddle generations.

Literature after World War II is one of them.

Koyanagi, who has studied the history of exhibitions, naturally has a deeper study of literature.

The history of modern Japanese literature is equally interesting.

Before World War II, the history of Japanese literature was a field of moderate literature, an era full of fantasy, romance, goodwill, and good literature, which is called traditional literature.

After World War II, when Japan's economy collapsed, society was chaotic, people generally felt empty and imitated, and full of despair for the future, in this case, the audience of literature quietly changed, and those writers, also affected by this environment, launched a challenge to the traditional literary field, and defeated it in one fell swoop, completely replacing the entire literary era.

Literature after World War II is full of irony, ridicule, malice, catharsis, depravity, and the promotion of human ugliness—even if it is degenerate, it is reasonable, because this is human beings. Human beings are essentially ugly, and there is no need to blame ourselves for such behavior.

Whether it is Jun Ishikawa, Yasugo Sakaguchi, or writers such as Osamu Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda, they are all masters in this kind of field.

In particular, Osamu Dazai, one of the ancestors of tragic literature, committed suicide after depicting the so-called fragility and pathosis of human nature in works such as "The Setting Sun" and "Losing the Qualification to Be a Human Being", and after expressing the most famous "Human Disqualification". In fact, one of the founders of tragic literature committed suicide many times, but the last time, because of his physical condition, he finally succeeded.

This generation of writers has laid a foundation for the history of Japanese literature and has become a mainstream of modern literature.

Of course, it's just a mainstream.

There is also a kind of mainstream, that is, the "introverted literature" created by some modern writers, which describes far less than the original mainstream, focusing on describing the ordinary life of human beings, and exploring deeper meanings, some inter-topics such as "what am I" and "what I should be", which began to transform the original literature full of malice into art, and have strong doubts about the tragic literature of the past.

These two types of literature are the two main streams of traditional Japanese literature today.

Japan in this world, although it has not experienced World War II, has also experienced a large-scale civil war, which has caused chaos for more than ten years, and the exhibition of the previous life, there are many similarities, and the exhibition after the war, I don't know if it is destined in the dark, or what, almost exactly the same as the previous life. The same is true for literature.

Koyanagi's "Slave of Money", although the style is strange and seems to be different, but in fact, it describes a lot of wayward ugliness, which still belongs to the style of the former. I'm afraid that many of those commentators are people of this kind of literature, so they chose Koyanagi to win this first place......

Taking a deep breath, Koyanagi threw these thoughts out of his mind and said, "When I was five years old, under the guidance of my parents, I learned how to read, even if it was extremely difficult. However, this is the most important beginning of my life, the days and months of eighteen years, perhaps in other people's future, this is only a very short and ridiculous period of time - people often say to me: I am still rebellious at your age - but I am different, during this time, that beautiful beginning, brought about the unfolding, let me experience the magic and mystery in literature. This is unprecedented, this is unbelievable. I was fortunate enough to get started with reading and develop this interest. ”

As Xiaoyanagi spoke, many people in the audience who were still talking stopped talking at this time and looked at them in unison.

is still looking at Koyanagi, looking at Koyanagi, and some people who are not impressed by Koyanagi's young age are a little more serious at this time.

Good opening remarks, those people, the mighty people, thought so in their hearts.

"Koyanagi-kun is really handsome......" Looking at Koyanagi calmly on the podium, Misaki said subconsciously.

"Yes." Mashiro nodded.

Nagato August, looking at Koyanagi on the stage, couldn't help but be silent, she vaguely thought that she was nervous when she came on stage a year ago, obviously she read the lines I don't know how many times, she still stammered, and almost cried in the end, fortunately, there was a host to answer the call, otherwise there was no way to continue...... And now Xiaoyanagi, who is about the same age as himself, why can he be so calm? And...... And so well said!

"That's a good point." Ueshima Qingyu's heart suddenly settled a little.

Without pause, Koyanagi continued, "Reading turns dreams into life, and life into dreams, so that children like me can also touch the vast world of literature. My mother once told me that my first assignments were really a continuation of the stories I had read, because I was always sad about the end of the story, or wanted to change the ending of the story. ”

"Perhaps...... One thing I'm going to do all my life, even if I don't know it, is that I'm continuing the adventure and excitement of my childhood, from growing up to maturity and ending up. ”

Speaking of which, the writers in the audience, with some playful eyes, have disappeared. It seems that this superficial guy who wrote "Slave of Money" does have some differences.

Those industry powerhouses who are a little more serious all showed interested looks, this newcomer is so special...... How can you say such a line?

And whether it was Misaki or Mashiro, or Uejima Aoyu, or Nagato August, they had already entered Koyanagi's speech and listened carefully.

Xiao Liu smiled, a little desolate smile, he came to this world, I am afraid that he will never see his former mother again.

He didn't pause for long and continued: "Writing a story is not easy. The moment the story becomes words, all the plans of Qiē wither on paper, and the thoughts and images lose their vitality. How can I reactivate them? I am fortunate that the masters are there, and we can learn from them and follow their example. ”

"If I were to name all the writers who have benefited me to a greater or lesser extent, their shadow would surely cast a shadow over all those present. There are so many writers who have benefited me, and I can say that there are countless of them. They revealed to me the secrets of storytelling, and they prompted me to explore the mysteries of human nature, to admire the great deeds of man, and to horrify the barbarism of man. These writers are my most sincere mentors and friends, and they inspire me with a sense of purpose. In their book, I show that even in the harshest of circumstances, hope will always exist. Even if it's just to be able to read the story and be able to fantasize in the story, this life is not in vain! ”

Koyanagi's words were sonorous and loud...... This has made those powerful people in the industry, well-known writers, show a look of listening.

This newcomer ...... It's really different.

"Literature, good literature, builds bridges between people. It makes us enjoy, it makes us miserable, it amazes us, it connects us across barriers of language, faith, customs, habits and prejudices. It doesn't matter if he believes in Buddha, Confucius, Christ, God or Allah, or is an agnostic. It doesn't matter if he's wearing a hemp shirt, a suit, a robe, a kimono, denim, or bloomers. Literature establishes brotherhood between different races, erasing the divides between men and women erected by ignorance, ideology, religion, language, and stupidity. ”

"This is probably literature. Although we will never reach the perfect life that literature fictionalizes. Perhaps that kind of beautiful life can only be lived by imagining, describing and reading. We must face a denier, face any criticism, we must defend the right of our dreams, the right to turn our dreams into reality. ”

Speaking of which, on the field, whether it was a man or a woman, whether it was a middle-aged, young or old, they all subconsciously held their breath and looked at Xiaoyanagi on the stage with all their attention. They were almost completely conquered by Koyanagi's speech.

Without pausing, without thinking, Koyanagi continued: "I have also been confused: what is life for? What am I living for? Is there anything else I can do that I am interested in? ”

"But reading saved me, and I read good books and escaped into the world of books. There, life is exciting, fast-paced, and adventures come one after another. There, I was free and found happiness again. At the same time, writing saved me. ”

"I write quietly alone, like a man who is conquered by an ulterior hobby, a passion that is forbidden by it. As a result, literature is no longer just a game. It became a way of defending against misfortune, a way of protesting, a way of rebellion, a way of escaping the burden of unbearable burdens. It became my reason for living. From then until now, whenever I feel depressed or depressed, whenever I am on the verge of despair, I will devote myself to my creation. It is like a beacon that guides people out of the tunnel. It's like a lifeboard, bringing people who have fallen into the sea back to shore. ”

"Writing takes a lot of effort, it makes me sweat like a bean, and like all writers, I often feel threatened by the exhaustion of my talent and imagination. But there's nothing in my life that I enjoy more than building a story month after month, year after year......"

"Writing is a way of life. Gustave Flaubert once said so. Yes, he said it very accurately. Writing is a way of life full of fantasy and pleasure, a spark of fire in the mind, a battle against disobedient language and its eventual taming, just as a hunter constantly explores the vast world in pursuit of a coveted prey, in order to feed the first imagination and satisfy the great appetite for each story, which grows bigger and bigger, often trying to swallow it all in one gulp. ”

"We may even feel dizzy while we are in the making, but once the novel is planted, it has a life of its own. The characters will move, act, think, feel, and demand respect and attention on their own, and will no longer accept any imposed words and actions, and will not allow them to be deprived of their free will, otherwise they will be killed and the story will be unconvincing. ”

"It's my child. I created it and want it to grow up healthy......."

“…… Literature is a false representation of life, but it can help us better understand life, leading us in this labyrinth of birth, crossing and death. When we suffer misfortunes and setbacks in real life, literature is our soothing. It is thanks to literature that we have been able to solve, at least partially, the mystery of existence. This mystery haunts a large part of the population, especially those like us who have more doubts than convictions. It is thanks to literature that we are able to confess our confusion when confronted with themes such as the fate of the individual and the collective, the soul, the meaning or absurdity of history, the shore of reason? ”

"And so on, and so on, too numerous to go into detail, but it is here, right next to each and every one of us, and that is: literature."

When Koyanagi said this, it was the end, stopped, took two steps back, and bowed.

Everyone present has not yet reacted, and they are all just appreciating what Xiaoyanagi Fangcai said.

When Koyanagi stepped down, only one person reacted, clapped vigorously, and then it was like a boulder thrown into the calm water, causing an uproar, and in an instant, the applause continued, filling every corner of the banquet hall, no matter men or women, no matter what age, no matter what status, all showed serious, admiring expressions, they applauded vigorously, they sincerely expressed their respect.

Listening to this warm applause, feeling the attention of many people, those concerned eyes, Koyanagi couldn't help but smile, and muttered in his heart: Who said I wasn't the protagonist? Isn't that now?
