I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 230 You know

Just like what was described in the previous sinking literature, it let everyone know the life of the so-called lower class people, or how difficult and hard the lower class people live.

It’s just that the feeling of seeing it is like seeing it through a hazy veil. There is never a strong and intuitive feeling or the incarnation of “the lower class people”.

The definition of sinking literature itself is that writers who are high and mighty or those who live relatively affluent lives write about the lives of people at the bottom of society. They observe; they visit; they even try to experience it, but no one ever becomes one.

Because they always understand that they will never be able to enter that class no matter what, just like they cannot enter the power class.

So, is what the student of Xiaoyuan Yishu, the child named Ye Zi, wrote sinking literature?
It doesn't seem to be the case, and it also follows the simple and low-key style, but the feeling it gives people is not a feeling of coming from top to bottom, but more of coming from below.

Through the sinking literature, they all know that people's lives are not so easy. Eating two oranges is already a very good thing, but they don't know that there are still people who are afraid of the New Year because they don't have much money in their pockets.

Perhaps compared with the people described by Ye Zi, Orange Girl can live a life of food and clothing. She just has to work as a maid or can only eat discounted food in convenience stores. She still can't afford to pick up things from the trash can or wear clothes.

Oh my God, the reason why a whole family doesn’t show up at the same time is because they only have one pair of pants for several people in the family.

Also, they will worry about how to live tomorrow just for a few dollars.

Originally, those who were reading the book were planning to leave, but now they did not move. Even the enemy editors who stayed in the office and tried to criticize the article were stunned.

It turns out that articles can be written like this.

In fact, the whole novel is not very long, but it is precisely because these few simple words can portray a character with extremely distinctive features, which is much better than those stereotyped and formulaic characters of urban white-collar workers and blue-collar workers in factories.

Of course, it also portrays two real worlds. There is a technique called contrast, so when two extreme things are placed in front of you at the same time, the impact is extremely strong.

The rich people of "Shirokanedai Street" and the lower-class people of "Hatsune Street" are in the same country and place, but they are really like two different worlds.

In the article, Shancun's family, who lived in the mansion on Baijintai Street, was the richest family in the street in terms of wealth alone. But in comparison, the family of Afeng's uncle, who lived in the slums, could not even take out "two dollars".

Such a sharp contrast directly catches everyone's eyes. It turns out that contrast can be so practical.

At the end of the year, the children of the village lady can all put on new clothes and go out to watch plays together; but Afeng and his brother can only wear worn-out straw sandals and torn clothes. Although the rich family is rich, they are extremely mean, just like all the stereotypes of rich people, but it does not seem out of place here. There is not much warmth in their family, and it can even be said that the emotions are weak.

Although Afeng's uncle's family is poor, they are honest, kind and simple. In order for his uncle's family to have a good New Year, Afeng is willing to sacrifice his life to steal two dollars. The relationship between the family is extremely warm.

The whole story revolves around these two families, full of contrast and drama. However, in the end, when Afeng was about to admit his crime, Ishinosuke took the initiative to take responsibility. It looks like a comedy, but everyone knows that the ending of Afeng's life is bound to be tragic.

Ishinosuke helped Afeng once, but this does not mean that he will get help every time he is in trouble. People at the bottom of the society like Afeng, since they are living in this era, will have to spend their whole lives being oppressed and living a hard life, just like being at the bottom of the food chain, a poor shrimp. No matter how hard they try, they can never escape from their level in the food chain. In the eyes of high-level predators, they are nothing more than a sturdy food.

In a novel like this, even if the writer named Ye Zi tried hard to create a feeling of an open comedy ending, everyone knows that life is decided at the moment of birth.

Those so-called words like work hard and strive hard are nothing more than telling you to become a strong shrimp so that you will be favored by higher-level predators because you are high-quality food.

It cannot be changed, there is no power to change it, life is like this, so this story is like an invisible hand that is tightly strangling everyone's neck, they are a little suffocated, and a little unable to breathe.

This……

The visitor was no longer ill-intentioned. They realized at this time that before, Xiaoyuan Yishu was more inclined to tell them that reality was painful and create a spiritual paradise for them to avoid pain and let them catch their breath.

And his students were told that reality was painful and that this pain was unavoidable, so they should feel the huge and suffocating pain.

Before the crowd could react, they were submerged by the wave of despair and pain. They were tossed up and down in the huge waves, and finally drowned in a deep ravine.

"This doesn't leave people any chance to survive." Gu Chunling said with a wry smile. He held the pen for a long time and didn't know what to write. Should he write something to encourage people to live a good life, or criticize Ye Zi for being too realistic.

However, there is one point that is beyond doubt, that is, it is indeed well written.

Gu Chun originally just wanted to write something to earn some royalties to make a living, but when he was chatting with Oshima Kazuya, he didn't know what happened and was led into a ditch by Oshima Kazuya.

"So, I think in the current market, if you simply write a story, I mean, if you write an original novel, it's rather dangerous." Oshima Kazuya made a semicircle with his fingers. He hoped that the young author could understand this truth. He pointed his finger above his head, meaning that the current literary market has been dominated by Koin Kazuki and his newly debuted elementary school students. If someone wants to squeeze in, it seems that it is not possible based on his level.

Then he tapped the table gently and said, "So you can try to start with comments. If you write a comment about that little boy's article, it might be a good thing." After saying that, Oshima Kazuya looked at Tani Haru with an expression that showed you understood.
