Chapter 628 A strange book of a generation(2/2)
Lin Chaoyang first smiled, and got used to the casual way of doing things in China. When getting along with Japanese like Teng Bian San and others, he needed to change his mindset.
Coaster stopped in front of the Sakuramen Club in Gobancho, Chiyodaku, Tokyo. The Sakuramen Club is an alumni association of Japan University.
It is also one of the four most well-known and largest alumni associations in Japan.
In addition, a permanent institution was established in Goban Town, which not only had venues for events, but also accommodation. Most of the conferences of the Lin Chaoyang (Japan) Literary Research Association have been held here over the years.
It was already past nine o'clock when the group arrived at the guild hall. Everyone said goodbye to Lin Chaoyang and left.
After resting for a night at the Sakuramen Club, the next morning, when Lin Chaoyang finished breakfast, Naoko Kondo was already waiting in the lobby of the club. In addition to the two students, there was also a middle-aged lady who was about her age.
"Ms. Kondo!"
"Lin Sang Zai! Did you sleep well last night?"
Naoko Kondo introduced the lady beside her to Lin Chaoyang: "This is Ms. Keiko Oi from Oi Products."
Lin Chaoyang remembered his previous correspondence with Naoko Kondo, and mentioned a female entrepreneur who sponsored the research association's activities.
It's Oi Keiko in front of her.
This should be considered the father of the research association’s funder.
Lin Chaoyang greeted Da Geng Huizi with a smile and said, "Thanks to Ms. Da Geng for her support for the research association."
When Daibe Huiko saw Lin Chaoyang, she was surprised to see her idol. "It is my honor to do my part to carry forward Lin Sang's works in Japan."
"Ms. Keiko loves literature, and today I'm here to listen to your exchanges with Mr. Kensalo."
Before coming to Japan, Lin Chaoyang's itinerary was already set.
This morning, the Japanese University specially invited Kensarro Oe to hold an exchange meeting with Lin Chaoyang, the Nobel Prize winner of Literature last year, and had already made a preview a week ago.
The library of Japanese University is one of the largest and most books in Japanese universities. The multi-functional hall on the fourth floor was opened as an exchange venue today. The conference title "Peak Dialogue of Sino-Japanese Literature" is listed on the screen at the door.
The names of the exchange guests were followed, which looked very formal.
After Lin Chaoyang arrived at the library, he met Kensalo Oe and shook hands and greeted each other politely.
Kenssaburo Oe made his debut in the 1950s. In 1958, he made a big splash with his article "Feding" and won the Akutagawa Literature Prize that year. Since then, he has won many literary awards in Japan and overseas. Until he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1994, he pushed his personal fame and status in the Japanese literary world to the peak.
Because he grew up when Japan surrendered and the US military carried out military occupation of Japan, Kensaburo Oe always advocated opposing wars of aggression and was also one of the well-known leftist literati in Japan.
The two entered the venue. Lin Chaoyang's face was not familiar with college students, but Kensaburo Oe had long become a well-known writer in Japan because of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Seeing the two walking together, the students didn't know that they must be the two protagonists today. The students' spontaneous welcome and applause suddenly echoed the scene.
Kensalo Oe waved to the students with a very graceful look, and Lin Chaoyang also nodded to the students.
After coming to the stage and introducing himself to the students, Naoko Kondo guest-starred as the host today.
"Today we are honored to invite Mr. Kensalo Oe and Mr. Lin Chaoyang from China. Both are well-known writers with great influence in their own country and have a high international reputation.
Today, Naoko Kondo was sitting between Lin Chaoyang and Kensaburo Oe to make a simple meeting, Lin Chaoyang casually glanced at the scene of the exchange meeting.
I noticed that today not only were hundreds of students coming here, but there were also several reporters holding cameras in the front row. He suddenly saw the Asahi TV station's logo.
He didn't think Asahi TV would be bored to come to report exchange meetings in Japanese universities. Even if both parties to the conversation were well-known writers, this must have been Tao Yushu's operation.
The wife's heart that hopes her husband will become a long time has been felt by her husband.
Then his eyes swept to Da Geng Keiko, who was sitting in the front row. Her seat was in the first row and the angle was the best, and it was indeed a VIP treatment.
"Among the two, Mr. Oei wrote earlier. It started in the 1950s and Lin Sang started in the 1970s.
After reading the works of the two, Mr. Dajiang wrote about the Forest of Four Kingdoms, and Lin Sang also wrote about his hometown in Northeast China in "Crossing the Kwantung" and "Hunter Ambren".
On this point, the two seem to have a coincidental understanding. How do you think this regionality becomes a literary energy beyond the region?”
Naoko Kondo asked the first question of today's exchange meeting. Lin Chaoyang and Kenzaburo Oe gave in and answered it first, and then it was Lin Chaoyang's turn.
He held the microphone and coughed lightly, "The element of his hometown in his creation is because his hometown is our background. When we grow up to be adults and leave our hometown, his hometown becomes our spiritual origin.
I think this is one of the reasons why writers are accustomed to revealing their attachment to their hometown in their works.
In addition, I have an immature view that when I read Mr. Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q", I have a deep feeling that regionality has never been closed. While it concerns each of us, it is also a reflection of the times.
When we want to reflect our concerns about reality and the world in our works, our hometown will become the most favorable high point of "standing from a high place to overlook the world."
Lin Chaoyang's voice was calm and powerful, neither fast nor slow, and it was conveyed to everyone present.
