Chapter 351 Henry Miller
Masayoshi Kishimoto set out from home to Tokyo Haneda International Airport in Ota. He did not take a taxi alone with a gift, but Rie Sakai drove her red Ferrari to him.
Ota District is located at the southernmost end of Tokyo. It is located in the middle of Minato District. Although it is not one of the six districts in Tuxin, it is one of the four districts in the south of the city.
The economy of the four districts of the Sekigawa area in Tokyo is quite good, the most famous one is Setagaya District. In addition, it is Shiinawak District and Kurome District.
Ota District has the largest area in Tokyo 23 District. Tokyo's factories are basically concentrated in this district. Not only is Tokyo Haneda International Airport famous, but Tamakawa is also famous.
Rie Sakai held the steering wheel in both hands, looked at the road ahead, and said seriously: "I listened to relevant news reports. Public security in mainland China is not very good. You should be more careful this time."
"Don't listen to those irresponsible news nonsense. In order to cater to the needs of the lower-class people in Japan, we deliberately distort and discredit mainland China.
Especially some variety shows, interviews are spared no effort to distort and discredit mainland China, completely like a hell on earth.
What's more, Hangzhou is not considered a mainland China, but is considered a regional area of a major coastal city in eastern China." Masayoshi Kishimoto explained.
"I haven't been there, and I don't know whether it's true or not. Anyway, don't go out of the hotel to wander around at night." Sakai Rie reminded kindly.
"I'm not alone in this trip to Hangzhou, but with many people in the company. Are you so worried about me, for that?" Kishimoto Masayoshi sat on the passenger seat and smiled to her side.
"I don't want to bear the bad reputation of Kawaki before getting married." Sakai Rie said bluntly.
"After all the time, you are not loving me, but still loving yourself. It is false to care about my safety, but in fact, what you care about most is your good reputation." Masayoshi Kishimoto stopped laughing and habitually quarreled with her.
"No. You're always like this, is it interesting?" Sakai Rie turned her head and looked at him, then looked at the road ahead again.
"It's interesting to you, it's not interesting to be with others." Kishimoto Masayoshi laughed again.
Sakai Rie just shook her head and said nothing, not Wuxin thought he was inferior in his heart. In fact, this time she sent someone to Haneda International Airport was not what Kishimoto Masayoshi asked, but she took the initiative to ask for it.
"Since you don't want to pay attention to me, then I'll read books alone." Kishimoto Masayoshi took out Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer to do it.
"How is this book?" Sakai Rie knew very well that he was not pretending. He had long known that he not only had good habits, but also loved literary and artistic works.
"It is an autobiographical work written by an old American gangster when he lived in France. This is also the famous work of Henry Miller.
Before he wrote "Tropic of Cancer", almost no one knew about the existence of a writer like him. Even if this book was published, it had been strictly prohibited by English-speaking countries for a long time and was regarded as an obscene work.
Later, the reason why it was able to see the light of day again was also in line with the new definition of obscene works in the United States in the last century 60 years.
The most important criterion is whether the author intentionally teases the readers when he makes a lot of sexual descriptions in the book?
If so, then it is undoubtedly an obscene work. On the contrary, it is not. After all, sometimes it is just a thread between the yellow and vulgar things in artistic expression.
Benefiting from this, not only can Henry Miller's works be seen again, but also the excellent literary works of Lawrence and others can also be seen again.
When Henry Miller wrote "The Tropic of Cancer", he was also very distressed in Paris, France. Just as he wrote in the book, he was afraid that the chair under his butt would be taken away.
Because you need to sit when writing, and his chair is still borrowed from others. However, the advantage of being poor is that it can inspire people to create inspiration for art.
Actually, I have read it once a long time ago. At the beginning, I didn’t understand it very much. Now, I want to read it again. The book "Tropic of Cancer" is very special. It has no main line, no plot, and no story. It can be said to be like the author’s essay.
However, it is not the way of writing the essay, but the book is full of Henry Miller's inner monologues. This monologue is full of a kind of low-level, vulgar or a true manifestation of malicious intention in human nature.
There is also a round-trip interspersion between reality and illusion. There are a lot of vulgar language in the book." Masayoshi Kishimoto talked freely.
When he said this, he seemed to remember something, and then said: This book made me feel very strange that it was not banned in the relatively conservative mainland China.
Wei Hui, known as the three pioneer female writers in China, regards Henry Miller as her spiritual father. Her "Shanghai Baby" is an imitation or tribute to "Tropic of Cancer".
Wei Hui's semi-autobiography "Shanghai Baby", released by the Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House in Shenyang in September 1999, sold more than 110,000 copies in half a year (not counting pirated copies), triggering a large controversy in the Chinese literary world, popularized the younger generation in China, and attracted international media reports.
China's Liberation Daily reported that Beijing's news media and cultural management departments used "Shanghai Baby" to describe women, homosexuality and drug use, and ruled that the book was a typical example of decay, depravity and poisoning of Western culture, and announced a ban on sale in April. The Chinese official issued a national ban on sale in mid-May."
"If you can watch it for a second time, it means you like Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer." Sakai Rie said calmly.
"You know that I believe in the theory that human nature is evil in China. My preference for works has always been the kind of thing that reflects the darkness of human nature.
Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer is a work that suits my taste. He took off the mask of man's disguise and stripped him naked, naked.
Of course, in the eyes of Taoists, Henry Miller's works are garbage. He is undoubtedly an absolute old hooligan.
At that time, Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer was a kind of rebellion, a kind of freedom, and a challenge to traditional Western moral values.
The content introduction of "Tropic of Cancer" will make vulgar people feel the urge to buy one and take it back to read it. After all, they mistakenly think it is Xiao Huang's book.
