Chapter 323 Miyazawa Kenji
At less than nine o'clock in the evening, Kishimoto Masayoshi appeared at the Manila Bar. The decoration style of this small bar is a little simple. The furnishings, 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 be barely maintained and will not close down. This provides people at the bottom of society with a good place to relax, entertain and relax.
The reason why Kishimoto Masayoshi appeared here was that he had concealed his true identity and joined a fellow scholar among the literary youth.
There were not many people in them, there were dozens of people in total. Nine people could gather here tonight. They came one after another, and each found a random place to sit down.
Their topic tonight was mainly centered on Kenji Miyazawa. Kenji Miyazawa had almost no reputation during his lifetime. The fairy tale "Crossing the Snowfield" was the only work he received during his lifetime and was published in the magazine "Patriotic Women".
Some people know the name of a Japanese writer Miyazawa Kenji probably comes from another widely circulated fairy tale work "Night of the Galaxy Railway".
Otherwise, it would be the later comic adaptation animation "Wenhao Renye". Nowadays, his status in the history of Japanese literature is that even if he is not one of the best, he is still a master.
From elementary school to middle school, to university, whether public or private, there are no Chinese language textbooks that they choose independently, which are not selected to teach students."
As for Kishimoto Masayoshi himself, he can use Haruki Murakami's evaluation of Kenji Miyazawa's works to express his true thoughts. It's really not his own.
This inadvertently reminded him of the black humorous story of the pure literary writer in the unpopular Japanese drama masterpiece "The Story of the World in Autumn 1997 SSP: Suicide Legitimacy".
Because the writer had no money in college, he wanted to reprint the book he had only sold 3,000 books.
As a result, the republished book could not even be sold. The writer wanted to increase sales by committing suicide, but all kinds of accidents came and could not die.
He suddenly became popular by chance and sold 250,000 copies of the books. Just when he was in high spirits and didn't want to commit suicide, he unexpectedly knocked a baseball to the direction he was in.
When the writer wanted to catch it, his feet slipped, stepped on his three books, and hit the stone with his head on the back of his head, and died.
Kenji Miyazawa was devoted to writing during his lifetime, but he did not receive attention. Instead, he became famous after his death. In 1996, Kenji Miyazawa was 100 years old, and Japan once again caused Miyazawa fever.
In the Japanese literary world, Kenji Miyazawa tends to be deified. In addition to the special style of his works, it is also because his works always contain endless profound meanings, as if they cannot be explored, which has triggered the eager research style of Kenji Miyazawa that later generations have.
Publishers compete to publish various versions of the complete works of Kenji Miyazawa, as well as his biographies, research on works, even the zodiac signs, plant illustrations in his works, and movies about his life, etc.
In addition to detailing his works, he also conducted a comprehensive discussion of his background, thoughts, and concepts, in order to present the diverse Miyazawa Kenji.
The Japanese cultural publishing industry seems to have held a Miyazawa Kenji Festival. It must be mentioned that although Miyazawa Kenji created Shifeng, most of them were works that were not published before his lifetime.
Moreover, Miyazawa always revises his works again and again, and many of them are unfinished drafts. Therefore, the works of Miyazawa seen today are not complete in every chapter, and there are often missing words or lost paragraphs in the text, etc.
Because it was sorted out by later generations, many creations retained incomplete original appearance under the principle of respecting the original creators. However, with Miyazawa Kenji's status in the Japanese literary world, even if there is a word in the rest, it is regarded as a treasure.
What's more, even if there are any shortcomings, it will not hinder the excellence of his works and the coherence of literary style. This even became the characteristic of Miyazawa Kenji's literature.
The possibility of perfection in imperfection may arouse people's interest in exploring Miyazawa Kenji's literature. The long river of time will always remove the drought and preserve the essence of the world, and screen out eternal good chapters in the vast sea of books.
The era of Miyazawa Kenji was nearly a century ago. Perhaps the giant wheel of civilization moved forward mercilessly, but some of the trajectories left behind were eternal, that is, the yearning for a pure soul, the pursuit of eternal life, and the infatuated hope of persisting in dreams.
Minamino Kanji is a die-hard fan of Kenji Miyazawa. He talked endlessly from the beginning, and also showed off his differences in front of everyone.
When he finished speaking, Kishimoto Masayoshi put forward his different views and said: "Miyazawa Kenji became ill due to fatigue and died of depression and unsuccessfulness.
When you are alive, the works you write are not understood by others, and after you die, they are also famous. However, will you still know all this after you die? No matter how high the honor is, it will be useless.
I only value living in the present. Whether it is tradition or popular, the only thing that interests me is whether I can enjoy, think, and inspire spiritually..."
As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately fell into extraordinary silence. This was definitely a truth, and it also said what they were thinking but could not say.
These people are poor and know the horror of poverty more than anyone else. The horror of poverty can not only easily induce evil thoughts in human nature, but also pass on generations.
If you don’t strive to change and get rid of poverty, your next generation will be extremely likely to continue to be poor for a lifetime. Or, you will not have any descendants and it will end here.
What's more, it's Japan in a high-pressure society and Tokyo in an international metropolis. With money, you can live like heaven, sighing that life is short and the years are like sunshine.
If you don’t have money, you can only live like hell, lamenting that life is too long and life is like years. Being poor is equivalent to committing a sin.
When Kishimoto Masayoshi said this, he picked up the glass in front of him, took a sip of the thing in it, but did not put it down.
He held the glass in his hand, and without any hypocrisy, he expressed his truest thoughts: "I must never live for labor and death for rest.
I have a dream that I want to own a super luxury house of thousands of square meters in Minato, which not only can I see the city scenery of Tokyo, but also the invincible sea view of Tokyo Bay.
I have a dream. My girlfriends are fat and thin, one is more beautiful than the other, and they are cute and charming everywhere. Beauties from all over the world are waiting for me.
I have a dream that I want to be the object of open and secretly fighting and jealousy among the senior club PR ladies in Ginza.
I have a dream, I also want to have supercars, private yachts, private jets, my own publishing house, my own bookstore…”
He changed the content of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream", but he still left a sentence structure that expresses the most true feelings in his heart.
"It seems that Kishimoto Sang's ambition is very lofty! I am ashamed of it." Minamino Kamiji said with a smile on his face.
"Don't you want to have such a future that dreams come true?" Kishimoto Masayoshi asked bluntly.
Minami Koji was speechless. If he had to say the word "don't want" with a hard neck, it would be like acting hypocritical in front of the other party and everyone.
Everyone thinks. But not everyone can realize all this into reality. He knows very well that for people like them, it is more like a fantasy than a dream.
The serious social class in Japan is solidified, and it is not something that can be broken through if you want to make a breakthrough. If you don’t have outstanding talents and some good luck, you can only fantasize.
