Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 128 The Wind Rises

Chapter 128 The Wind Rises (Part )
The sky was hazy, with faint thunder.

The heavy rain threads formed a curtain in the darkness. When Longchuan Che was holding a meeting as usual, the door of the Youth Activity Center was pushed open.

There was a loud bang, and I couldn't tell whether it was thunder or the door leaf exploding.

When everyone turned around, a large group of neatly dressed people walked in from the door.

The leader was Imamura Yukawa, and most of the people following him were officials from the Ministry of Education, as well as some reporters from newspapers.

There were some pages that looked like published articles, and some books that looked like single volumes of certain works.

Several people were damp and smelled of rain. The moment they came in, Imamura Yukawa frowned as he looked at the large group of people gathered together.

"Please go back to your rooms tonight to create. We are looking for Mr. Yingsi, Mr. Nishijo, and..."

A staff member in charge here said with great discernment that the names he read out were all the names of authors who had already completed their works.

At this point, the difference between this group of young authors and those in the literary world can be seen.

If it were people from the orthodox literary world, they would most likely ignore such obviously dispersing remarks.

But the group of students, who were about 17 or 18 years old, just wailed and then dispersed.

"Let's go, Muzi."

Among those invited to stay, Longchuan Che was not there. He helped his girlfriend organize the manuscript of "Love Letter" and prepared to leave.

"Teacher Ryuukawa and Teacher Haruyuki, please stay for a while."

An official from the Ministry of Education saw that his boss was standing there without saying anything, so he spoke up.

"Something went wrong, and it was a big problem."

Longchuan Che rubbed his tongue across his palate, smiled and nodded.

With a rumbling sound, the rain in late February was cold and depressing, and the usually bustling public hall of the youth center was now silent.

The tables were pushed together.

The people from the Ministry of Education sat opposite the young authors. Among the people on the left, Ryukawa Toru only knew Imamura Yukawa.

On the right are Natsuko Imamura, Rei Takashige, Naka Nishijo, Kiko Matsueda, Toru Ryukawa and others.

Takeda Akane was also there and her work was completed.

“Before we begin, we would like to ask the teachers to take a look at two pieces of work.”

The bosses were silent, and a young staff member stood up and spoke.

"Archer, what is this?"

"Who knows? Maybe he found something good."

While distributing the works, Ryukawa Toru was chatting with his girlfriend. Takeda Akane, who was standing next to them, looked at the two of them and sneered.

"Longchuan Tetsu, I heard that you haven't finished writing your work yet?"

"You care about me so much?"

Longchuan Che raised his eyebrows.

"I care about how this pervert of yours hasn't died yet."

The other party's mouth was still so vicious. Longchuan Che laughed and turned to look at the books that had just been distributed.

"Slit Tongue" "Infinitely Close to Transparent Blue".

Both works were published last year.

"Both of these books are shortlisted for this year's Akutagawa Prize and are the most likely to win."

The voice of a government official made everyone present stunned.

Akutagawa Award.

Although many people say that this time the government is using the Youth Prize to compete with the Akutagawa Prize, many people know that it is impossible.

The Youth Prize caused such a stir that it even seemed to overshadow the Akutagawa Prize.

But everyone knows that the results of Akutagawa's selection have not come out yet.

This is Japan's highest award for pure literature, and the winning works each year may become a literary trend the following year.

The 1930s and 1940s were about anti-war resistance, while the 1950s and 1960s were about criticism and self-awakening.

It can be said that many literary ideas were spread through the Akutagawa Prize, including the class literary ideas of Monk Hirohei, which were also formed through the accumulation of generations of Akutagawa award-winning works.

Last year's work was "Hole" by Hiroko Oyamada, which reflected social issues such as temporary employment in modern society and an aging society, and also promoted the town government's labor reform on temporary employment of social workers.

This year's
“The young people after the first year of Heisei are a broken generation.”

Seeing Monk Hongping's comments, everyone present was stunned.

"Slit Tongue" reveals the rebellious reality of young people by telling the exaggerated behavior of today's young generation.

"Infinitely Close to Transparent Blue" tells the story of young boys and girls who, under the influence of Western thoughts, have fallen into depravity and are out of touch with reality.

Both works are equally bloody and violent, with XD promiscuity and multiple alienations filling every plot.

"unacceptable!"

A student stood up angrily and trembled all over.

The so-called Heisei losers are all the writers here. Rather than pointing out that under the current Japanese government, Japan lacks subjectivity and is being swayed by the West, these two works are more like a counterattack against this Youth Award.

A bunch of bad young people dare to be dragged out to go against these "national teachers"?
"What do the teachers say?"

An official from the Ministry of Education, his hands were shaking when he spoke.

The Ministry of Education is responsible for youth education and managing the country's culture. The entire Ministry must be excited when these two works won the awards.

How to say?
When the official's words came out, even the excited young writer was stunned.

How to say? There is no way to tell.

The reason why the Akutagawa Prize has credibility and why writers have a high status is that what they write is basically realistic.

The Heisei generation is a broken generation. Not only is there nothing wrong with what is pointed out in the works, but it is also true in social phenomena.

Emptiness and confusion are almost the social reality for the current young generation.

The various social conditions caused by this are also a headache for national governments.

XD, violence, juvenile delinquency.

Promiscuity, tattoos, body modification.

Several young writers turned pale because they knew that what was said in it was true.

Monk Hongping denied their generation.

Among that group of people were their respected seniors and their teachers.

They want to 'kill' them.

"Tsk, tsk,"

When everyone was silent, Longchuan Che smacked his lips.

"What do you think, Mr. Longchuan?"

The people from the Ministry of Education came here tonight to respond in a targeted manner, not to see a lifeless scene.

When an official from the Ministry of Education saw Ryukawa Toru's movement, his eyes lit up.

This time, Monk Hongping not only targeted the authors of the Youth Prize, but also the officials of the Ministry of Education who took the lion's share.

The Ministry of Education, which is in charge of education, has produced a corrupt generation.

The heated discussion among the people will probably drown them.

"view?"

Ryukawa Toru raised his eyebrows and smiled at Imamura Yukawa who was sitting there like an old pine tree.

"No opinion."

He wanted to challenge the old monk, but no one in the Youth Award could handle those old monsters.

Why didn’t you come to me when something went wrong?
In Ryukawa Toru's opinion, Imamura Yukawa's "changing rooms" was more of a show of force than a display of power.

Because of us, there is the Youth Award. Because of us, you, Ryuukawa Tetsu, have the opportunity to compete with Monk Hongping and others.

You are a young man who has been suppressed by the literary world. Just follow our ideas and be the government's mouthpiece.

"By exposing that young people can only find the meaning of their existence through extreme behaviors such as body modification and sexual abuse, it reflects the crisis of modern civilization itself."

Longchuan Che picked up "Slit Tongue" and looked at it carefully, and felt that this work had a greater chance of winning the award.

"The old monk still supports his class literature as always."

Longchuan Che smiled happily.

The old monk has a sharp eye and continues to guide government reform through his works exposing society in order to "protect the country and save lives."

If Longchuan Che wasn't his rival, he really wanted to hug him and kiss him.

Is there anything more troubling for officials at the Ministry of Education than the area of youth education?
"Ryukawa Tetsu,"

Seeing the young man patting his butt and leaving, the highest-ranking official finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"Youth Award is your only chance, don't make the mistake."

The surprise of the past two weeks has reached its peak.

Longchuan Che turned his head and looked at the cabinet minister who was asking for help but did not have the attitude of asking for help at all.

"Youth Award?"

Longchuan Che pointed to the land that was already in ruins.

"Sky Tree?"

The man whom the literary world calls a great trouble pointed to the tower that might be built.

“To build a tower to the sky, you need a man who can reach the sky.”

Long Chuan Che narrowed his eyes and smiled at the crowd who were in deathly silence.
