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

Chapter 82 The peak showdown begins today!
1037 universities from various Asian countries gathered together today——

A tense and fierce competition began!
Although the [Asian University Literary League] was promoted as 'Asian University', anyone with a discerning eye could see that -

This is the ultimate confrontation between China and Japan, two great literary powers!
In the contemporary literary world, looking at the whole of Asia——

Probably only China and Japan can be called cultural powers?

Even countries like India, which once had great writers like Rabindranath Tagore,
'Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves'

But that was once!
Wasn’t the Chinese literary world once glorious?

First there was Lu Xun, the founder of modern literature, then there was Ba Jin, a literary giant, then there was Qian Zhongshu, the first talent of the Republic of China, and then there was Mao Dun, the pioneer of the New Culture Movement.
These literary masters, let alone looking at the whole of China, even looking at the whole of Asia and even Southeast Asia——

Can they all be considered quite influential?

Although modern literature has declined, after all——

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

Nowadays, among the top ten universities in Asia, China is the only country that has

Exclusive six!

The remaining four are the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University from Japan, the Nanyang Technological University from Singapore, and the top university in India, the Indian Institute of Technology.

Although China has a large proportion of top universities, it seems that it is not good at modern literature.
Is it still in a weak position?
Although Japan has only two schools in the top ten of the Asian university rankings, it
Deep foundation!

Looking at the current Chinese literary world, perhaps the only people who can be called literary masters are Liu Zhenyun, Su Tong, and Jia Pingwa?
But looking at the Japanese literary world, there are many writers who can influence Asia and even the world.
This is quite a lot!

From Haruki Murakami to Higashino Kigo, from Jun'ichi Watanabe to Shinichi Hoshi, who is known as the 'God of Japanese Science Fiction Short Stories'.

in the country, these writers may be little known, but looking at the entire world literary scene——

These literary writers are extremely famous!
Even though China's basic education has developed rapidly in recent years, the top ten universities in Asia are:

One country has six!

However, when it comes to top scholars in literature, compared to Japan——

That's definitely not in the same league!
One of the highlights of this [Asian University Literature League] is to see who is stronger and who is weaker between the young generations of China and Japan through the exchanges in this literary league!
Standing in the center of the playground, I witnessed those familiar names scrolling on the big screen.

Chu Tianjiao was stunned:
"This is really a fight between gods."

Chinese writers representing the jury: Liu Zhenyun, Jia Pingwa, and Su Tong.

Japanese writers jury representatives: Haruki Murakami, Higashino Keigo, and Takashi Yusuke.

In addition to these, there are also top Japanese celebrities from all walks of life such as Hayao Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai, and Gosho Aoyama.
Let alone the contestants, just look at the influence of these invited guests in the world culture field——

Which one of them is not famous?
Looking at the screen, there are the judging panels for the [Asian University Literature League] this time. Not to mention Chu Tianjiao, who wouldn't be stunned when seeing this list?
"How could this be such a big deal?"

This time, the selection of works will be in the form of voting and counting to select the top ten of the [Asian University Literature League] list.

It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent the form of soliciting votes from relatives and friends——

Students of this school are prohibited from voting for the works of contestants from our school!
"It's over, Brother Hai." Chu Tianjiao looked at Jiang Hai beside him, "If students of our school are prohibited from voting for contestants from our school, then I can't canvass for you!"

"What do you think we should do about this?"

Jiang Hai silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it:

"If you can't vote, don't vote."

"Is your one or two votes enough?"

In fact, Jiang Hai is quite open-minded about things like the [Asian University Literature League].

Isn't it just a competition?

It's good to win a place.

But I couldn't get a ranking——

Isn't this normal?

With so many talented students from Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan University and Jiaotong University leading you, you can't expect me, a failed student from an ordinary second-rate school, to turn the tide for you, right?
This is not a novel, so why would there be so many outrageous things?
Although Jiang Hai himself is very open-minded, the students of Chenghai Drama Academy——

I don’t think so!

In the past two days, as soon as the news of the opening of the [Asian University Literature League] was announced, no matter where you go——

Jiang Hai always receives envious gazes from his younger classmates and seniors!
This is the only student in our Chengxi Opera who passed the league auditions!

This is also our only hope for Chengxi!
Who doesn’t want to bring honor to the school?
Who wouldn't want to show off on such a dazzling stage? Although, knowing that Jiang Hai's chances of winning a place in such an important literary league are slim,
but!

Wherever Jiang Hai passed, he would receive warm greetings from his juniors:
"Hello, Senior Jiang Hai~"

"Hello, Brother Hai~"

"Brother Hai, you are really awesome this time."

"Senior Jiang Hai, please keep doing your best, please."

Jiang Hai was walking on the playground, smoking a cigarette.

But with the constant greetings from his junior and senior classmates, Jiang Hai abruptly put out the cigarette in his hand.

"No, I just want to smoke a cigarette, is it that difficult?"

Just when Jiang Hai was feeling depressed.

Chu Tianjiao stared at Jiang Hai beside him with great interest:
"Haizi, let me tell you, if you can beat a few students from Peking University and Tsinghua University unexpectedly in this literary league."

"That would really bring honor to our Chengxi Opera!"

Frankly speaking, there is a chain of contempt between domestic universities.

That is, 985 universities look down on 211 universities, 211 universities look down on double first-class universities, double first-class universities look down on ordinary first-class universities, and ordinary first-class universities look down on ordinary second-class universities.
Although based on the academic level of Chenghai Drama Academy, it can barely reach the level of Double First-Class.

But please don't forget!
[Chenghai Drama Academy] is an art school!
Just as science students look down on liberal arts students, and liberal arts students look down on art students, looking at the current situation of students in China -

Art exam candidates are generally at the bottom of the contempt chain!

Although Chenghai Drama Academy is a double first-class university, it is still a
Is it still criticized and even looked down upon by some "superior" students from 985/211 universities?

If Jiang Hai could represent Chengxi in this literary league——

Kill 211!

Kill 985!

Beat Peking University and Tsinghua University!

Who will dare to say that the level of our Chengxi students is not good in the future?

"Haizi, whether our play can stand up depends on you!!!"

To be honest, Jiang Hai didn't want to kill anyone, nor did he want to be the "hope of the whole village" or "the hope of the whole school". He just wanted to do his job well and then lie down and relax.
Do your best and accept your destiny.

Could this be his attitude towards life?

"Instead of counting on me to stand up, why don't you stand up yourself." Jiang Hai glanced at Chu Tianjiao beside him rather casually, "Instead of counting on me to kill everyone, why don't we think about what to eat later?"

"It's six o'clock now. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

That night, Jiang Hai felt that he had a dream, a very long dream.

In his dream, he changed into the appearance of Oba Yozo. Everyone had expectations for Yozo and gave him a kind smile.

This dream lasted for a long, long time.
Wait till you wake up the next day.
Jiang Hai just realized that Yang Wei and Chu Tianjiao had gone to class without him knowing when?
After a quick wash and tidying up, Jiang Hai put on his shoulder bag and walked out of the dormitory, heading straight towards the teaching building.

I don’t know why, but along the way, Jiang Hai felt——

Quietly
As soon as he arrived at the classroom, Jiang Hai thought he was late so he slipped in through the back door.

Unexpectedly, he just stepped into the classroom with his left foot.

The next second, the whole class's eyes were all on him?
Does today's classroom seem different than usual?
Not only was Lao Wang standing on the podium, but Jiang Hai also saw the director of the Academic Affairs Office and the principal next to the classroom.
Jiang Hai felt very uncomfortable being stared at by so many people.

When Jiang Hai saw that the Dean of Academic Affairs and the Principal were sitting in the classroom, his heart sank:

"No, I'm just late, there's no need for so many of you to come and arrest me."

Just when Jiang Hai was about to complain about the unfairness of fate.

Chu Tianjiao swallowed his saliva, then walked silently to his side and shouted to him in a trembling voice:

"Brother Hai, your book No Longer Human is published in Japan——"

"Killing crazy"
