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

Chapter 87: Can this be so popular among different people?
To be honest, when Song Shiqing heard the name 'Jiang Hai', he was stunned for a while.

He always felt that the name sounded familiar, but he didn't know exactly why.
It seems like I can’t remember it again?

It was not until he walked out of Tsinghua's president's office that Song Shiqing remembered that
Kong Xi once mentioned a student named "Jiang Hai" to himself?

Song Shiqing usually calls Kong Xi "Sister Xi". It doesn't mean that they are really siblings, but that his family's company invited Kong Xi to be the spokesperson.

The two are close in age, both are very talented and appreciate each other.
That's why they call each other sister and brother!

"Could this Jiang Hai be the person that Sister Kong Xi mentioned to me that day?"

Song Shiqing thought secretly.

After thinking for a while, he took out his cell phone and sent a message directly to Kong Xi:
[Sister Xi, the 'Jiang Hai' you mentioned to me the other day, is he a student of Chenghai Drama Academy? ]

Without stopping for a moment, he replied immediately:
[Yes, Xiao Qingqing~]

[What, are you interested in taking in a disciple? ]

[Jiang Hai has great potential! With your literary skills, if you can give him some guidance, he will surely become enlightened and make rapid progress.]

To be honest, in this [Asian University Literature League], Song Shiqing is indeed the favorite seed player for China to win the championship!

Until the beginning of the competition, Song Shiqing's support was very high!
However, who would have thought that after the start of the competition, Song Shiqing, who had always been called the 'favorite to win', would unexpectedly fail?

Not to mention ranking in the top ten, in the [Chinese Reading Ranking]——

He couldn't even make it into the top 20?
This is in stark contrast to Yan Ruyu, a talented lady from Peking University who is also a 'favorite to win'!

Looking at the two big words "accepting disciple" that Kong Xi sent to him, Song Shiqing was quite helpless.

You let him, a person who can't even make it into the top 20 of the list -

Go and tutor a big man who has killed his way through the [Japanese Reading Rankings] and suppressed three talented students, Yayoi Kusama, Ringo Shiina, and Masako Himekawa, by himself?
What else.
Be someone's master?
Kong Xi's unique train of thought left Song Shiqing speechless.

He just sighed silently, and then sent a message back to Kong Xi:
[Sister Xi, you really think highly of me]

Whether it is the Chinese reading rankings or the Japanese reading rankings, there is no doubt that -

Books that rank first on both lists will receive unprecedented attention!
Ranked first on the [Chinese Reading Ranking] is "The Heart" written by Yayoi Kusama, a student from the University of Tokyo. This is a book about the story of the philosophy department, mainly telling the interesting things that a young monk and an old monk encountered when they were hiding in the mountains and forests and practicing seclusion.

This book is deeply loved by readers from both China and Japan for its humorous writing style and philosophical metaphors.

It is precisely based on this that Yayoi Kusama can firmly occupy the first place in the [Chinese Reading Ranking] list with "Kokoro"!

On the other hand, the first place in the [Japanese Reading Ranking] is the "sorrowful literature" work "No Longer Human" by the Chinese contestant Jiang Hai. This book roughly tells the story of Japan during World War II, and a male protagonist named Ohba Yozo, who wears a hypocritical and hypocritical mask and travels back and forth in this decadent life in the world.
There is great controversy among Chinese and Japanese readers about Jiang Hai's book "No Longer Human"!

Chinese readers believe that the book No Longer Human described by Jiang Hai is

The male protagonist has a distorted outlook on life, he is addicted to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and even involves some incestuous plots. This kind of book.
It doesn't deserve to be called a good book!
However, Japanese readers have a completely opposite attitude from Chinese readers.

You can say that Yayoi Kusama's "Kokoro" is garbage!

But you can't say Jiang Hai's "No Longer Human" is rubbish!

"Heart" is just a work created by a talented young student, and "No Longer Human"——

This is the magnificent masterpiece that can be written by a truly great writer with independent thoughts!
Readers from both sides engaged in a heated and crazy discussion about Jiang Hai's "No Longer Human".

Chinese readers believe:
“How the hell did this No Longer Human make the list????”

Japanese readers believe:
“Why the hell can’t this novel “No Longer Human” make the list???” Readers from both sides started arguing with each other on the official media of the Asian University Literature League and continued arguing on Instagram. The argument became so intense!
When the Japanese readers who were "disillusioned" heard that Chinese readers were criticizing "No Longer Human", they cursed Ōba Ezo as a complete scumbag!

This made the Japanese readers who regarded "No Longer Human" as the Bible so angry that they started learning Chinese overnight and launched a rough counterattack on Instagram:

"How much do you know?"

Just as real business wars are never about making plans and winning from afar, but about extinguishing the rival company's money tree and manually giving the rival e-commerce companies bad reviews on Taobao one by one.

The truly cultured readers’ debates are never based on quotations from classics, but are always simple, crude and direct.

Chinese readers: "Bageya Road!!!"

Japanese readers: "You know nothing"

This is still an interesting point, even though Chinese and Japanese readers are arguing fiercely on various media platforms.

However, the vote support rate of Jiang Hai's "No Longer Human" in Japan has increased from 25.43% at the beginning to 34.74%——

The first place in the list is now more secure!
Moreover, on the [Chinese Reading Rankings], No Longer Human also soared from the initial 97th place, and directly squeezed into the top , reaching th place.

It is worth mentioning that--

Although Kusama Yayoi's "Kokoro" was highly praised, it soon became the second-ranked Shiina Ringo before it could dominate the Chinese Reading Rankings for long.
The main point is that fortune changes over time?

Regardless of whether you are a Japanese reader or a Chinese reader, both sides were somewhat surprised when they saw this scene:

"The more you criticize a book, the more popular it becomes?"

"What's going on???"

This happened at a time when Chinese and Japanese readers were arguing fiercely.

The famous Japanese anime artist Makoto Shinkai became the first celebrity to come out to support Jiang Hai:

"This is just my personal opinion. I personally think that the book No Longer Human—"

“I personally find it very satisfying to read”

The book is popular on the one hand. In this special period of time, Jiang Hai, the original author of No Longer Human,

Others also became popular!
A student from an ordinary art school, neither a 211 nor a 985, but even so, he still relied on his own efforts——

Single-handedly suppressed the young generation of Japanese literary circles?
How amazing is this?

For a time, both Chinese and Japanese media reporters and university teachers and students all focused their attention on a place that they had never paid attention to before.
Chenghai Drama Academy!

During the break between classes, Jiang Hai felt a urge to smoke that he had been holding back during class, and he couldn't help but walk to the smoking area next to the toilet.

Just as he was holding a cigarette and searching all over his body for a lighter.

"Why is there no light? Where is my lighter?"

I don’t know where Lao Wang came from.

Old Wang, holding a lighter in his hand, changed his usual serious look and walked to Jiang Hai with a kind face:

"Come on, Jiang Hai, let the teacher light a cigarette for you."
