Although flowers bloom and fall sometimes, there are often exceptions.

For example, now, the lily of the valley flower has been thanking for a whole month, and in the depths of a dense forest in the Hessian forest, there is still a vulture, which is blooming freely, exuding a fragrant fragrance.

People sometimes do that, too.

In some quiet place, in a dark corner of the world, there is an unknown person, who people think is "outdated" and ignore him. But he came out unexpectedly, dazzling and like a flower.

Kenichi Nakamura is one such writer.

Nakamura has loved writing since he was a child, but he came from a poor background and was finally admitted to university, and his family did not approve of him studying literature. Forced to make a living, he chose majors such as automobile manufacturing and sales, business administration, and was admitted to the government's official international student to come to China to study Chinese.

After completing his studies, he signed a contract to work in sales for large heavy industry companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Honda, and has been working in the Chinese market for many years, and finally has business dealings with companies in Kaohsiung.

We have been working together in the commercial sector for many years. But I have always insisted on pen farming, which makes him very envious.

I often encouraged him to write and recommended him to the editors of SPE's economics books.

So, he wrote a column sporadically about what he saw and felt about working in China, and later collected it and published a book, which sold well in the market and had a good reputation among readers.

The publishing house continued to ask him for manuscripts, and he wrote a number of miscellaneous essays on living abroad, some of which were published in Japanese to introduce the internal situation of the Chinese companies he had dealt with to Japanese readers, and some were published in Chinese to introduce Chinese readers to work in famous Japanese companies. Because of the unique perspective and fresh and humorous writing of this series of articles, it was well received after publication. Nakamura has also made a little name for himself in the writing world.

After I was strapped for cash because of the aftermath of the Kaohsiung Aftermath, I re-signed to sell myself to my old club SPE as a contract writer, and Nakamura was strongly influenced by my return to the literary world and decided to quit his sales job at a multinational company. Now that he has amassed a fortune and a strong financial foundation, he can focus on what he really wants to do.

So, he followed me and officially signed a contract with SPE.

Not long after returning to SPE, Mr. Yichen gradually faded out of the red dust, and even became a monk. I lost my partner and was alone.

SPE has changed several partners for me, and the cooperation has not been very pleasant.

In this case, they talked to me and asked me if I wanted to try playing with Kenichi Nakamura. In any case, we are old friends who have known each other since we were students, and we have cooperated a lot in shopping mall activities, so we are very familiar with each other and have a very good personal relationship.

We were all taken aback by this proposal. I never thought of writing a book with Nakamura.

But Nakamura suggested that I might as well give it a try. He said sincerely that I could trust him and open my heart to him. He may not be as talented as Mr. Yichen, but he will do his best.

And just like that, we became collaborators.

It should be said that Nakamura has always worked very hard and made rapid progress.

Two years ago, he started with translation and began to get involved in the field, and he already has three collections of his own short and medium stories, and is trying to write a long book on the historical theme of ancient exchanges between China and Japan. He has also won a number of domestic literary awards and has been on the bestseller list of bookstores many times.

Nakamura himself felt very emotional, and he could not have imagined that he would have the courage to start a completely new field and have the opportunity to realize his life dream after reaching middle age.

He always credits this with my influence and encouragement. But that's a ridiculous compliment. This is entirely the result of his own diligent pursuit.

As a writer, he deserves everything he has received now.

His writing experience vividly embodies an old saying: "Greed must not be present all the time, and perseverance cannot be without a moment." ”

Since coming to the camp, Nakamura has been willing to listen to my story about what happened here with Mr. Yichen.

He asked me to take him to visit the places that Yichen and I had visited back then.

He has always regarded Mr. Yichen as his idol, hoping that one day he can reach the kind of state that Mr. Yichen had, and cooperate with me to achieve spiritual unity and complete spirituality.

I was deeply touched by his sincere yearning for this goal and his unswerving determination.

A thought of sincerity is the most able to make the golden stone open.

I gradually gave up the closed mind that Yichen had since he left, and began to sincerely accept Nakamura as a fellow traveler of the new soul.

After Nakamura finished reading the storyboard for "Taiping" and "Gino's Scimitar", which I was serializing, he said to me, "Xinxin, this is really a sad story to the marrow. ”

He said, "Can you write a side story?" Give the whole story a warm ending with a little brighter. ”

I said, "I said I wouldn't write a side story." ”

He said: "Not all people in the world can stay awake to the truth of life. You write so soberly that many people will not have the courage to face it, although they cannot escape it in reality. ”

Nakamura said, "The masses are cowardly, and even in the process of enlightenment, they need constant comfort and traction. ”

He said, "Give them a warmer ending." Let them see that in order to change their fate, people's efforts will not be in vain. ”

"Let the heroes and heroines understand the truth, and be able to respond to the heavens and seek benevolence. From the perspective of writing and carrying the truth, it is also the social responsibility of writers to let people see the return of their efforts. He persevered in his persuasion.

I said, "I don't necessarily write that ending." I'm not good at writing happy endings in the world. ”

He said, "It's a good wish for the world." I hope that all people can become wise and finally attain happiness. ”

His words touched me.

As a result, there is a side story "The Countess".

Nakamura is definitely the kind of person who can make people feel the warmth of peace.

Perhaps, because he has experienced all kinds of hardships himself, he can better understand the hardships encountered in the lives of others.

Looking at the late-blooming lily of the valley flower in the forest, I said to Nakamura, "That flower, it's like you." ”

He smiled and said, "How can there be a middle-aged uncle like a flower." ”

I said, "Although it appeared late, although it opened late, it was more deeply engraved in people's hearts because of this, and the fragrance lingered for a long time. ”

"As someone who grew up in a wooded area, I would like to kindly remind you that the lily of the valley is not very fragrant, the whole plant is hairless, and the whole plant is poisonous," he said. ”

I looked at him. I said, "That's humble." ”

"And the flowering period is very short," he said. Seriously, I didn't lie to you at all. ”

Nakamura-kun is such a very practical person.
