A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 103 Do you really want to stab me?
In the past two days, not only in the university circle, but also in the entire traditional literary field in China——

Something big happened!
That is Jiang Hai, a student writer from China. His book No Longer Human was awarded by the Japan Writers Association in Japan.

Izumi Kyoka Literature Award!

Although the Izumi Kyoka Literature Award is not considered a top award in Japan, it is considered a first-tier mainstream literary honor medal in Japan.

A Chinese writer, in the Japanese literary world, has not only been recognized by Japanese readers
He even received a medal from the mainstream Japanese literary community?
this.
It’s really a bit scary!

You know, Japanese readers are extremely xenophobic when it comes to literature!
Not to mention Chinese writers, even if all the writers in Europe and the United States are added together, there are very few writers who can be recognized by the mainstream Japanese literary circles!

Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, the fact is that the last Chinese writer who was so admired by the mainstream Japanese literary world was -

That was Mr. Lu Xun, who was active in the last century and was known as the "backbone of contemporary literary world"!

It is based on this situation.

In the domestic literary market, there is a good reputation for "No Longer Human"
It actually reversed?

Sometimes, the herd mentality is very scary.

When everyone around you is questioning a book,

"Is this thing worthy of being called a book?"

"Is this kind of thing with a perverse outlook worthy of being shown to the public?"

When people just follow the crowd, readers can be easily misled by these statements and form a kind of...
This book seems to be just like this?

but!

If this book, which has been criticized for a long time, has been recognized by the mainstream literary circles abroad, and foreign media have taken the lead in advocating it——

“No Longer Human is a book with deep meaning! The reason you feel depressed is simply because you don’t understand it.”

“No Longer Human is not about world-weariness, but about hope!”

“No Longer Human is absolutely a masterpiece that deserves to be called a masterpiece.”

Under the extensive coverage and publicity of the mainstream media,

slowly.
The public opinion seems to have started to change?

No longer bound by the tedious beginning of the book, more and more readers began to calm down and concentrate on reading "No Longer Human". After abandoning the initial prejudices and biases, more and more readers gradually began to think that...
It seems that the book "No Longer Human" is really good?

Apart from the extremely strong "depressed" atmosphere in the book, this book is also very good in terms of writing style and the philosophy of life it wants to tell.
Is there really nothing wrong with it?
But the problem is that.
Can things like 'decadence' and 'disappointment' really be put aside?

Although, many readers have changed their previous attitudes and believe that "No Longer Human" is no longer a book of whining without reason, it also has its own unique philosophy and thoughts.
However, I have to admit that——

This thing looks really fucking uncomfortable!

You don’t know until you read deeply. Once you read deeply, many readers will understand immediately——

Why is "No Longer Human" said to be the book that single-handedly raised the suicide rate among Tokyo teenagers?
This is Ohba Yezo,
Don't say it's a substitution for Japanese readers.
If the Chinese readers put themselves in his shoes, they would feel the same way!

Precisely because the content of the book "No Longer Human" is too "healing", many readers have begun to shift their attention from [traditional literature] to [online literature].

After reading "No Longer Human" for a whole day, my heart is already heavy. Many readers want to go online and find two exciting online novels to read to relieve their depressed mood.

Coincidentally, I just happened to see the [Annual Most Brilliant History Article] that Xingtian Chinese website is promoting——

The Poor Ghost's Two Thousand Years

Looking at the series of labels on the book "Poor Ghost", such as "Extremely Cool", "The Strongest of the Year", "Immortality", etc.

In addition, a group of book friends in the book review area strongly recommended:
"This is the most exciting masterpiece of the year. You deserve to see it!"

"If you're unhappy, just come over and chop me up. It'll be awesome!"

"I swear on my good brother's thirty-year life span, this book was so exciting that I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights."

There are actually quite a few readers who clicked on it following the "strong recommendation" of these netizens.
It's fine if you don't click in, just click in.
Just don't want to live anymore?
"Is this what you call violent pleasure???"

The heaviness of history comes upon us, and the feeling of powerlessness of an individual under the torrent of time deeply stimulates the hearts of every reader.

Watching my relatives and friends die one by one in front of my eyes, and I am powerless to do anything.
This feeling is so painful!
Originally, after watching "No Longer Human", I was already feeling annoyed, and I hadn't even had time to calm down.
Then he read "Two Thousand Years of Poor Man's Life" from beginning to end?
Under the repeated torture of these two emotions of "extreme sadness" and "extreme pain".
Finally, many readers had mental breakdowns and vented their negative emotions crazily on the Internet:
"Jiang Hai, you really deserve to die!!!"

"You bring an umbrella but no knife on a rainy night, damn you!!!"

A book, "No Longer Human", can make people feel mentally confused, depressed and decadent!
Another book, "The Poor Man's Two Thousand Years of Up and Down", makes people want to stop living!
It is based on this situation.

After Jiang Hai was awarded the Izumi Kyoka Literature Award by the Japanese literary community, domestic readers spontaneously awarded Jiang Hai the following award:

【The most sad knife award of the year! 】

On several occasions, when Jiang Hai was walking on the campus, he saw several young people wandering on the road who seemed to be in a mental state?
These young people are full of the atmosphere of "dejection" and "dejection".
However, when they saw Jiang Hai himself, without exception -

Their eyes suddenly burst into that extremely eager light?
Jiang Hai can feel it.
Those were the kind of eyes that wanted to stab someone! These guys really wanted to kill him!
Every time he encountered this situation, Jiang Hai would silently lower his head and quickly leave the scene.

As I left the scene, I couldn't help but sigh silently:
"Luckily you don't know that I only carry an umbrella on rainy nights, not a knife."

The obvious [Jiang Hai] has already made you want to stab me, if you also knew that I am [carrying an umbrella but not a knife on a rainy night].
Is this still available?

Isn't this just preparing to take action right away?
On the Internet, a book "No Longer Human" was rated by readers as "the most depressing book of the year"!
Another book, "The Poor Man's Two Thousand Years of Up and Down", was rated by netizens as "The Most Sharp Book of the Year"!
It is precisely based on this situation that a brave challenge was launched on the Internet:
"If you dare to finish watching No Longer Human during the day, you can also finish watching The Poor Man's 2,000 Years at night."

"You are worthy of being called a true hero!"

Just when everyone was discussing it heatedly on the Internet.

The long-silent online writer [Rainy Night with Umbrella but No Knife] was the first to speak out:
“New book preview!”

"The most exciting urban novel of the year, "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant", is about to be released. Please support us, father readers!"

"Believe me, this time, it's really exciting!"

[On a rainy night, bring an umbrella but not a knife] After howling like this on an online literature forum.

Immediately, it attracted a lot of readers.

"Extremely enjoyable? I don't believe you! It was so enjoyable that I cried bitterly and couldn't sleep for three days and three nights, right?"

"I've been fooled once, do you think I'll be fooled a second time? Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Yuye, I admit that your handwriting is indeed good, but please rest assured that I will never give you a second chance to stab me!"

"Still feeling great? Such an old-fashioned trick? You don't think I will believe you this time."

Even though he was very disdainful of the "coolness" of "bring an umbrella but not a knife on a rainy night".

However, out of respect for Yuye’s previous book, “Two Thousand Years of Poor People’s Life”, many old readers still came to read Yuye’s new book.

Adhere to a mentality:
"Take a look. I'll just take a look. I'll just read the catalog introduction!"

"I only read the introduction to the catalog. You can't kill me, right?"

When the old readers who came here for the sake of its reputation glanced at the catalog, they immediately realized that -

"You know what, this time Yuye was really cool with what he said."

“It seems to be quite interesting, right?”

[The male protagonist Zhaoyang graduated from a well-known 211 university in China. He is 183cm tall, handsome, can play guitar and sing. His father is a section chief in a state-owned enterprise. His rumored girlfriend is a first-line female star. His ex-girlfriend is also the male protagonist's first love and is a top sea turtle. His current girlfriend is a domineering CEO. She is beautiful, has a sweet voice, good temperament and is rich.]

Just looking at the catalog introduction, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong?

A standard template for an urban male-oriented cool novel?
Just when readers are hesitating whether to continue reading the catalog.
It was at this time.

Jiang Hai himself announced through mainstream social media:

He is currently preparing a traditional literature similar to No Longer Human, titled Xu Sanguan Selling Blood.
"No Longer Human" tells the story of the living conditions of Japanese citizens during a special era!
"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is also a period piece, telling the mental state of the Chinese people during a special period!
Originally, I was a little hesitant about whether to read [Bring an Umbrella but Not a Knife on a Rainy Night]'s new book "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant".

However, when Jiang Hai released the news——

"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is about to be published to the public, and we hope that readers will support it.
Immediately, many readers sided with the camp of "Bring an umbrella instead of a knife on a rainy night" and raised the slogan:

"Look at that!"

After torturing us in "Rainy Night with or without a Knife", he still remembered to write a refreshing story to heal us.

You Jiang Hai, it's not enough to torture us once.
You even want to torture us a second time?

"Who would read abusive stories?"

"Can people who read cruel stories be decent people?"

"Despicable!"

With this mentality, many readers flocked to Xingtian Chinese website and clicked on the new book "Bring an Umbrella but Not a Knife on a Rainy Night"——

My 26-year-old female tenant.
When readers flocked to "The Tenant" and began to read it attentively.

Suddenly, many desperate readers wailed:
"Nima, I got fooled!"

In the city center, inside a cafe.

Sitting opposite Jiang Hai was editor Yang Shuman.

Jiang Hai handed the first draft of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" to Yang Shuman:
"Sister Shuman, I'm not very familiar with domestic publishing houses. I heard that you have channels with publishing houses?"

"I'll leave the publication of this book to you."
