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

Chapter 279: Becoming the Great Devil of Japanese Literature 3
The rainy season is filled with a damp feeling.

The speakers at the Oriental Research Institute changed wave after wave.

When Longchuan Che came back, his girlfriend was yawning lazily.

This kind of professional literary exchange meeting is still too boring for girls.

"Muzi."

Longchuan Che called out softly. The girl looked so well-behaved as she waited quietly there.

"Archer."

Songzhi Muzi happily moved to the side to let her boyfriend sit inside.

"Where were you just now?"

Longchuan Che said he was going out for a while, but he disappeared for more than an hour. Now the first half of the exchange meeting is almost over, and it is soon time for lunch.

The literary exchange meeting initiated by Princeton University in the United States began on May 10th and will last for five days. Today is the first day for Ryukawa Tetsu.

The topics include: 1. Mutual learning among civilizations and world literature 2. Mutual learning among civilizations and rewriting the history of civilization 3. Rewriting the history of world literature 4. Translation variation and world literature

Today's reconstruction of The Tale of Genji is part of the rewriting of the history of world literature.

"To make a small contribution to world culture."

Ryuukawa Tetsu made a little fingertip cosmic gesture to his girlfriend, and at this time, the blond and blue-eyed Barron walked in.

The boy had a strange expression on his face and reluctantly handed a laser pen to Longchuan Che.

"Do you know?"

Matsueda Muko seemed a little afraid of this enthusiastic foreigner, and whispered in Longchuan Che's ear.

She had been harassed by this boy for a long time since Brazil, and she didn't expect to meet him again on the plane back to China.

"That's it."

Ryukawa Toru is playing with a laser pen in his hand. He is currently giving a lecture as a professor of Oriental culture and history.

He was talking about the history of Japanese literature, and at the same time he was somewhat disdainful of the purpose of this visit by Western scholars.

"Ancient Japan was a clan-based society."

The man standing on the stage looked somewhat proud. Ryukawa Tetsu remembered meeting him during the writer's tour.

If the above three classes of writers are divided into middle, lower and third classes, then those who can participate in the writers' tour basically belong to the upper class circle of writers.

They are academically engaged, have ideals, and are visiting professors at various universities. They are a level higher than the likes of Oo Ichiro.

The reason why Ryukawa Tetsu remembered him was because he was a staunch supporter of Monk Hongping. Not only when "Snow Country" was published, but also during this group portrait award event, the other party had said, "The rush to invest and the cheating were anticipated."

Ryukawa Toru prefers the New Sensationalism.

This is an indisputable fact in the literary circle.

To ordinary people who read gossip, Ryukawa Che might be after fame and fortune, but upper-class literati believe that he has only one goal.

He was so eager to overthrow the rule of class literature led by the monk Hongping that he did things that ruined his own future.

At this moment, the history professor who once said, "Even if he were given another hundred years, he would never be as good as Mr. Miya Makoto," was on the podium talking about the great history of Japanese literature.

"Ancient Japan was a clan-based society."

The other party repeated this sentence again.

"After the Taika Reform (645), Japan's earliest written literature appeared in the Nara period (710-794). The Kojiki records Japanese mythology and is the embryo of ancient Japanese novels, while Western literature was in its infancy at the time."

“American literature first emerged in the 17s.”

“Russian literature began in the 11th century.”

"And the Germans..."

The university professor glanced disdainfully at Martin who had just given a speech.

He is of German descent and immigrated to the United States.

"Old High German literature, including Hildebrandt's Song, is more than a hundred years older than us."

When talking about literature, we cannot avoid talking about works. Although Japan cannot compare with China, it is better than most Western countries when discussing the birth of literature.

This history professor named Mishima intended to use the background to make Westerners abandon their unrealistic ideas.

How to judge the strength of a country’s literary culture?

Current influence is one aspect, but more importantly, it is how long the literary history has lasted.

As long as traditional culture exists, the national soul exists. Even if its current influence is not as great as that of Western literature, who can tell what it will be like a hundred years from now?
Literature is the carrier of culture, and words give literature immortal tension. Professor Mishima spoke passionately on the stage, and many people in the audience were so excited that their eyes sparkled.

The other party’s point of view is very interesting.

Even if we retranslate "The Tale of Genji" according to the requirements of the international market, when Western literature is not as popular as it is now, will we translate it back again?
Everyone burst into laughter at what he said, and Ryukawa Tetsu poked his girlfriend, who also became interested.

Public speaking requires a sense of identity, and Mishima on the stage is by far the best speaker.

"What's wrong, Archer?"

Matsueda Muko glanced at her boyfriend.

Anything that has something to do with nation and independence always makes people generous and passionate.

Muzi wanted to applaud the professor, but because he had criticized her boyfriend, the girl held back her anger.

"Muzi."

Longchuan Che put his head on his girlfriend's shoulder. He originally wanted her to cover herself up a little before coming.

"Archer, you're so hot."

The boy's face was a little hot, and with the noisy environment around them, the girl was a little worried and blew him with her mouth.

She originally thought that Longchuan Che came here to find a way to resolve the impact of the Group Portrait Award event, but it seemed that he was not needed here.

In one morning, Japanese scholars made Western scholars look humiliated.

Their influence is not as great as that of the West, but it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for them to erode Japan's traditional culture.

How to understand historical background.

There are many things that Westerners cannot think of, let alone deconstruct Japanese culture.

What should my Archer do? Will he never be able to write novels again?
Just when Ryukawa Toru left, Takeda Akane told her that Ryukawa Toru might not be able to become a writer in the future.

The girl was a little dazed, and then she began to feel sour in her heart.

Many people remember the glorious Ryuukawa Che.

The young people admired his rising star, and the scholars of Yaowang Temple bowed to him.

But Songzhi Muzi remembered only one.

In the heavy snow in Yamanashi Prefecture, the boys were wearing thin youth clothes, with mud spots on their trouser legs and pilling scarves around their necks.

Why did God treat Archer like this?
A person grows up with great difficulty, and finally has a good career, but it is about to be ruined.

In the noisy environment, the girl rubbed the boy's face.

Longchuan Che was feeling hot all over, and his thoughts seemed to be running wild.

"I don't know what will happen after today. I think I should be more rational, but I am a little annoyed when this happens again and again."

Ryukawa Toru once told Ono Taro that he wanted to restore the fortunes of Japanese literary world.

Japan's literary history was missing for a hundred years, and he was kind enough to restore it bit by bit.

But as I wrote more works, I encountered more troubles.

Ministry of Education, mainstream literature.

Ryukawa Tetsu even felt that he would encounter some new troubles every time he wrote a work.

"Can I solve these problems at once?"

When Japanese writers won a great victory, Ryukawa Toru said this to Matsueda Kiko.

The girl was stunned and looked at the literature professor on the stage who stood up for Japan.

The other side was dazzling and splendid, embodying the national spirit at this moment.

The girl seemed to understand something.

She pursed her lips and straightened the clothes of her boyfriend who was feeling extremely hot.

This is the University of Tokyo, where are the top scholars and the most powerful writers.

"Go ahead Archer."

The girl smiled tenderly at the boy.

"Even if it's just me."

"I'll applaud you, too."
