Rebirth: Japanese investor

  Chapter 338 Japanese Culture

   Kishimoto Masayoshi and Fukada Kyoko had a simple lunch before sitting back in front of the computer in another room. They logged in again and entered the beautiful virtual world of the online game "Paradise" to play.

   Fukada Kyoko didn't have much thought in the game and said: "My dream since I was a child was to be a star. Was your original dream to be a chaebol?"

   "Wrong. My original ideal is that as long as I have Coke to drink, instant noodles to eat, and online games to play, I will be completely satisfied." Masayoshi Kishimoto said it seriously.

   Kyoko Fukada was immediately dumbfounded. In her world of thinking, anyone who has great achievements will have great ambitions when they are young.

   After Kyoko Fukada came back to his senses, he blurted out and said, "You must be lying."

   Kishimoto Masayoshi left the keyboard and mouse with both hands, looked at her carefully and said, "I guarantee my personality, and I never lied to you."

   Fukada Kyoko said with interest: "Did you suddenly start to wake up completely one day, thinking that such a negative and decadent life is not good.

  So, you took the initiative and started to work hard, which is why you have a place in the Japanese financial world today. "

Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you think this is your own youth inspirational idol TV series? A male lead with a low social status fell in love with a cute girl of high social status, so he changed his own for her. In the past, desperately struggled upwards.

   In the final finale, the actor succeeded despite his setbacks. He can justifiably be together with the heroine. "

   Kyoko Fukada of course understands that the contents of idol dramas are all beautified and idealized things, which is really not true. She asked to the bottom of it: "Why not?"

   "Anyone has the freedom to choose their own suitable and preferred lifestyle. Eating instant noodles, drinking Coke, and playing games is garbage?

   Only that kind of hard work like being beaten with blood is the right way? I don't even think about it carefully, have I been completely deceived by the propaganda of the ruling class?

   How many of them died from overwork? People are dead, no matter how great the ideal is, it is 0. Why do you have to live wearing Versace? In fact, I think wearing Uniqlo is also very good!

  Osamu Dazai also has the most classic sentence in "Disqualification in the Human World", I'm born as a human, I'm sorry. His negativity and decadence are pushed to the extreme.

   It is this extreme that has established him as one of the three major writers in Japan after World War II. Without him, no one would have known this cruel beauty.

   In today's Japanese culture, the origin should be traced back to the "Genji Monogatari" by Murasaki Shibu, which established the beauty of the Yamato nation.

   Even if we look at the works written by Osamu Dazai with today's eyes, they are not at all outdated. I'm one of Dazai Osamu's fans too!

   Besides, the Yamato nation is a nation that tends to go from one extreme to the other. From the very beginning of the Meiji Restoration, it completely negated everything in Japan.

   Later, it was also the Japanese culture in the aesthetics of today. It was still a Westerner who was actively running around in Japan, calling for help... It was the Japanese who realized that the things in their past were not all dross. As a result, people with lofty ideals began to save the culture of their own nation. " Kishimoto said eloquently.

   "You're not fooling me, are you?" Fukada Kyoko stared at him suspiciously, still unable to believe what the other party said.

   "What am I fooling you for?" Kishimoto Masayoshi couldn't understand.

   "The purpose of your self-defilement is to make me face you in my heart and have a bad negative influence, and then gradually give up on you." Fukada Kyoko said bluntly.

   "Where is all this going?" Kishimoto Masayoshi had already experienced the rich associative power of women. They are completely able to connect things that cannot be hit by eight poles. He just shook his head helplessly.

   "Isn't it? It's clearest in your heart." Fukada Kyoko pretended to be angry and cute.

   "Let's continue to play games!" Kishimoto Masayoshi knew that once a woman got into trouble, only he would suffer.

   "No. I also want to hear something about Japanese culture from you." Kyoko Fukada blurted out.

   "What's there to talk about? Let's continue playing games." Masayoshi Kishimoto wanted to change the subject.

   Fukada Kyoko repeated very insistently: "Talk, talk, talk."

   "Forget it, I'm afraid of you. I'll just say it. Even if many foreigners have lived in Japan for decades, it is difficult to understand the true inner thoughts of the Japanese, which is that the Yamato people are extremely introverted and difficult to reveal.

   In addition, the Japanese are very xenophobic, which further strengthens this mentality. A foreigner who wants to truly understand the truth of the Japanese is not watching a youth idol drama.

   If you have to watch a movie, that is "Narayama Festival Exam" which once won the Palme d'Or at the 36th Cannes Film Festival. It is a film directed by Imamura Shohei and released in Japan in 1983.

   Although he is not very famous in the eyes of the public, I think this director has more taste. In your circle, that must be a well-known figure. "Kishimoto said in an orderly manner.

   "I've also seen the "Narayama Festival Exam" directed by Imamura Shohei. It's really cruel. However, it's also really true.

   In a poor mountain village with chronic food shortages, what options are there? This is one of the best choices made when there is no choice. "Fukada Kyoko said seriously.

   "Girls are taken out and sold when they are born and raised. Their fate is nothing but to become prostitutes. If you think this is cruel, compared with the boys who are born, they are in heaven.

  If a baby boy is born, it is usually thrown into the fields to be used as fertilizer. If the old man does not die when he is 70 years old, he will be sent out of the village by his children and sent to the mountains to die. "Kishimoto Masayoshi briefly said about the general content of the movie "Narayama Festival Exam".

   He paused for a while when he said this, and then continued: "I have a preliminary understanding of the true literary works of the Japanese people, and there is also the "Praise of Shadows" by Tanizaki Junichiro.

   This is a work that focuses on writing buildings, and it also reflects part of the Japanese character and inner world.

   Tanizaki Junichiro's reputation abroad is not too big, not as good as Murakami Haruki, Watanabe Junichi, Higashino Keigo, but his reputation in Japan is not small.

   Of course, his works have a much higher status in the minds of literary youth, literary lovers, and literary critics than the other three.

   Otherwise, the Tanizaki Junichiro Literary Award would not have been established. Although the reputation of this literary award is much smaller than that of the Akutagawa award, it is a literary award representing Japan's leading writers.

   Murakami Haruki was able to really emerge back then because he won the award. Not because his work was twice shortlisted for the Akutagawa Prize. Among them, there are many writers who have failed as many as five or six times because of the Akutagawa Award. "
