In his previous life, Xiao Liu studied the modern history of Japan.∽

After World War II, Japan, like China, entered a decadent era, but unlike China, Japan was lucky and did not take detours. From the beginning, it took the right path and became an advanced country.

This is an undeniable fact. This growth rate from scratch is very amazing. If we look at it overall, its development speed has always been far ahead of other developed capitalist countries, and its macro and micro economic benefits have also made other developed capitalist countries far beyond reach. They have gone from a dilapidated and poor island country to an advanced capitalist country.

There are undoubtedly some important reasons for these situations.

First, in the process of restoring the market economy after the war, Japan established an economic system coordinated by the government, financial institutions, social and economic groups, enterprises, practitioners, consumers, etc., and various talents poured in. It is known in history as the "generation of groupings". They are responsible and capable. Whether it is working hours, work strength, or sense of responsibility, it is beyond the reach of it. It can be said that they created a large amount of wealth and rebuilt Japan.

Second, it is important to attach importance to science and technology. This is very important. The island countries lack resources and are always subject to people. The poverty of oil immediately caused a crisis. When they attached importance to science and technology and set the goal of "building a country in science and technology", they immediately got rid of the interference of the oil crisis.

Third, strengthen the alliance of external forces, absorb the technology, management and knowledge of other countries, and at the same time, in order to defend against the adverse effects of this, capital invasions of other countries, various trade combinations have been formed, which is undoubtedly very prescient.

Fourth, the management system was reasonably strengthened, and a complete set of comprehensive quality management systems were created to occupy overseas markets with high-quality, low-priced and thoughtful products; a strong financial organization system and corresponding financial systems were established to solve the problem of insufficient capital in enterprises, etc.

The second is political reasons, not to mention this.

Looking at the modern history of Japan, these brilliant generations have also many other highlights in the miracles created by these brilliant generations.

Literature after World War II is one of them.

Xiao Liu, who has studied the history of development, naturally has a deeper research on literature.

The history of modern Japanese literature is also interesting.

Before World War II, Japanese literary history belonged to the field of moderate literature, in an era full of fantasy, romantic, and propaganda of goodwill and beautiful literature. This is the so-called traditional literature.

After World War II, Japan's economy collapsed and social chaos, people generally felt empty and confused, and were full of despair about the future. Under this situation, the audience of literature quietly changed, and those writers were also affected by this environment, launched challenges to the field of traditional literature, and defeated it in one fell swoop, completely replacing the entire literary era.

Literature after World War II was full of irony, ridicule, malice, catharsis, depravity, and propaganda about human ugliness. Even if it is depravity, it is reasonable, because this is human beings. The essence of human beings is ugly, and there is no need to feel guilty for such behavior.

Whether it is Jun Ishikawa, Yasuo Sakaguchi, or writers such as Dazai Osamu, Oda Sayuki, etc., they are all masters in this field.

Especially Osamu Dazai, one of the ancestors of tragic literature, committed suicide after publishing works such as "Stationary Sun" and "Losing the Qualification to Be a Human", which depicts the so-called fragility and tragic nature of human nature when it is heading to destruction. After publishing the most famous "Disqualification on Earth", he committed suicide. In fact, one of the founders of tragic literature, he committed suicide many times, but only the last time, because of his poor health, he finally succeeded.

This generation of writers laid a style for the history of Japanese literature and became a mainstream of modern literature.

Of course, it's just a mainstream.

There is another mainstream, that is, the "introvert literature" created by some modern writers, which far degrades the original mainstream, focuses on describing the normal life of human beings, and explores deeper meanings, some topics such as "what am I" and "what I deserve" begin to transform the originally malicious literature into artistic transformation, and develops strong doubts about the tragic literature of the past.

These two kinds of literature are the two mainstreams in the traditional Japanese literature circle today.

Although Japan in this world has not experienced World War II, it has also experienced a large-scale civil war, which has caused more than ten years of chaos and has many similarities with the development of previous lives. I don’t know whether the development after the war is destined or something, it is almost exactly the same as the previous lives. And the literature aspect is also the same.

Although Xiao Liu's "Slave of Money" has a strange style and seems to be different, in fact, it describes a lot of willful ugliness, which belongs to the former style. I am afraid that many of the commentators are masters of this type of literature, so Xiao Liu chose this first place...

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Liu 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 may have come to others. This is just a short and ridiculous period - people often say to me: I am still rebelling at your age - but I am different. During this period, the beautiful beginning and the unfolding brought by me made me realize the magic and mystery of literature. This is unprecedented, and it is incredible. I am very lucky to be able to get the beginning of reading and cultivate this interest."

As Xiao Liu spoke, many people who were still talking in the audience stopped talking at this time and looked over.

I was still looking at Xiaoliu and looking at Xiaoliu. People who disagree with Xiaoliu's young age, who were a little dissatisfied with him, looked at him a little bit at this time.

A good opening remark, those who are the powerful, think in their hearts.

"Little Liujun is really handsome..." Misaki subconsciously said, looking at Xiao Liu who was calm on the podium.

"Yeah." Zhenbai nodded.

Nagato August, looking at Xiao Liu on the stage, she couldn't help but feel silent. She vaguely realized that she was nervous about going on stage a year ago. She had read the lines she didn't know how many times she was, but she still stuttered. At the end, she almost cried. Fortunately, the host was able to smooth things over, otherwise she wouldn't be able to continue talking... And now Xiao Liu is obviously about the same age as hers, so why can she be so calm? And... she said so well!

"It's right." Qingyu Shangdao's heart was suddenly calmed down.

Xiao Liu did not pause and continued: "Reading turns dreams into life, and turns life into dreams, so that children can also touch the vast world of literature like me. My mother once told me that my first exercises were actually the continuation of the stories I read, because I was always sad about the end of the story, or wanted to change the end of the story."

"Maybe... I will do one thing in my life, even though I have no idea, that is: from growth to maturity, to the end of my old age, I will continue those stories that have made my childhood full of adventure and excitement."

Speaking of this, the writers in the audience had some fun eyes disappeared. It seems that this superficial guy who wrote "The Slave of Money" is indeed a bit different.

Those industry experts who looked at each other slightly showed an interest. This newcomer is so special... can he say such lines?

Whether it is Misaki, Mashira, or Ushima Aoshita, or Nagato August, he has entered Koriya's speech and listened carefully.

Xiao Liu smiled and smiled desolately. He who came to this world would probably never see his former mother again.

Without pausing for too long, he continued, "Writing stories is not easy. When the story becomes words, all plans wither on paper, and thoughts and images are lost in vitality. How can we reactivate them? I am lucky that the masters are there, and we can learn from them and follow their examples."

"If I list all the writers who benefit me more or less, their shadows will definitely shroud everyone present in glory. Because there are so many writers who benefit me, they can be said to be countless. They reveal the secrets of storytelling to me, which prompted me to explore the mystery of human nature, make me admire people's great achievements, and also frighten me at the barbaric and evil deeds of people. These writers are my most sincere teachers and friends, and they inspire my sense of mission. I found in their books that even in the harshest environment, I hope to always exist. Even if I can read the story and let my fantasy run through the story, my life will not be in vain!"

Xiao Liu's words are sonorous and loud... This has made the powerful and well-known writers in the industry show their listening expressions.

This newcomer...is really different.

"Literature, good literature, builds a bridge between people. It allows us to enjoy, to suffer, and to surprise us. It connects us closely across the obstacles of language, belief, custom, habit and prejudice. Whether he believes in Buddha, Confucius, Christ, God or Allah, or an agnostic. Whether he wears a shirt, suit, robe, kimono, jeans or bloomers. Literature establishes brotherhood among different races, and eliminates the divisions that ignorance, ideology, religion, language and foolishness are set up between men and women."

"This is probably literature. Although we can never reach the perfect life made by literature. Perhaps that kind of beautiful life can only be passed through imagination, description and reading. We must face all negators, face any criticism, and defend the right to turn our dreams into reality."

Speaking of this, on the field, both men and women, middle-aged, young and old, subconsciously held their breath and looked at Xiao Liu on the stage with all concentration. At this time, the needle was heard, and everyone was listening very seriously. They were almost completely conquered by Xiao Liu's speech.

Xiao Liu did not pause or think, and continued, "I was also confused: What is life for? What is I living for? Is there anything else I can do?"

"However, reading saved me, reading good books and writings, and fled to the world of books. There, life was exciting, with tight rhythms, and adventures one after another. There, I was free and found a sense of happiness. At the same time, what saved me was writing."

"I write quietly alone, like a person being conquered by an ulterior motive of an unspeakable hobby and a forbidden passion. So literature is no longer just a game. It has become a way to resist misfortune, a way to protest, a way to rebel, a way to escape the burden of unbearableness. It has become a reason for me to live. From then until now, whenever I feel depressed or depressed, whenever I wander on the edge of despair, I will devote myself to my creation. It is like a beacon, guiding people out of the tunnel. It is also like a life-saving board, bringing the fallen people back to the shore."

‘“Although writing has taken a lot of effort, it makes me sweat the size of beans, and like all writers, I often feel the threat of exhaustion and exhaustion of imagination. But there is nothing in my life that makes me feel more enjoyable than building a story every month after month, year after year…”

"Writing is a way of life. Gustav Flaubert once said this. He said it very accurately. Writing is a lifestyle full of fantasy and pleasure, a flame that sparks in the mind, fighting against disobedient language and eventually taming it. It is like hunters constantly exploring the vast world to track covet prey, with the goal of feeding the original imagination and satisfying the huge appetite of each story, which is getting bigger and bigger, and often trying to swallow all the stories in one bite."

"We may even feel dizzy during the brewing process, but once the novel implants, it has its own life. The characters will act, act, think, feel, demand respect and attention, and will never accept any imposed words and deeds, and will not be allowed to be deprived of their will, otherwise it will be equivalent to killing them and making the story lose its persuasion."

"It is my child. The child I created and hoped that it would grow up healthily..."

"...Literature is a false reproduction of life, but it can help us better understand life, leading us in this maze of birth, traveling, and death. When we suffer misfortunes and setbacks in real life, literature is our comfort. It is because of literature that we can solve, at least partly, the mystery of existence. This mystery plagues a large number of people, especially those who have more questions than confidence like us. It is because of literature that we can confess our confusion when facing such topics: the destination of individuals and collectives, the meaning of the soul, the meaning of history or the absurdity, the shore and the other side of reason?"

"There are many, many, countless, and they cannot be described in detail, but it is here, right next to each of us, and this is: literature."

Xiao Liu said this and ended, stopped, took two steps back, and bowed.

Everyone present hadn't reacted yet, and they were only experiencing what Xiao Liu said just now.

When Xiao Liu stepped down, one of them reacted and clapped hard. Then it seemed like a huge rock hitting the calm water surface, causing a sensation. In an instant, applause continued and filled every corner of the banquet hall. No matter men or women, no matter what age, no matter what status, they showed serious and admirable expressions. They applauded vigorously, and they sincerely expressed their respect.
