"Akihara Hiroto's mind may be more inclined to reasoning, but for the development of traditional literature, he has indeed played a role in promoting."

"If the public doesn't pay attention to traditional literature, even if traditional literature wins over reasoning literature in words, so what?"

"In the end, it was just a further acceleration of the demise..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his cough became more serious. Kurumi Honma on the other side saw it and immediately reached out to pat him on the back.

After recovering, he said again: "The important thing is that the works he wrote are indeed excellent traditional literary works."

His previous actions also had his inner thinking.

Regarding the future of traditional literature, he and Hiroto Akihara actually hold the same idea, that is, popular literature has overwhelmed traditional literature, and the latter will decline more and more.

This matter, while sad, appears irreversible for now.

Therefore, Yuichiro Yoshikawa's entrustment to Hiroto Akihara is just to plant a seed in his heart, so that he should not forget traditional literature when he continues to reason.

As long as there are excellent writers who continue to write, even if traditional literature declines, there will still be some loyal readers who will feel gratified.

For Yuichiro Yoshikawa, this is enough!

What he wants is to leave a spark for traditional literature!

At this moment, there was a knock on the shoji door, and Kurumi Honma stood up and went out. After a while, she came back with a package and handed it to Yuichiro Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa Yuichiro looked down and found that the sender had written "Akihara Yuto".

This is?He was a little puzzled for a moment.

On the other side, Kurumi Honma helped open the package with a utility knife, and Yuichiro Yoshikawa was able to see the contents inside the package, a thick manuscript.

On the first page of the manuscript, the title "Personal Experience" was written.

"Teacher, it's time for a nap, let's watch it later."

Honma Kurumi looked at the teacher who was about to move, and said hesitantly.

She knew her teacher's character, and was worried that he would look up again regardless of rest.

"Kurumi, do you know? A good work is to a writer what fine wine is to an alcoholic, so let's forget about taking a nap today."

Yoshikawa Yuichiro laughed.

"Since that child Qiuyuan sent me this work, it shows that he has great confidence in this work. As a senior, I naturally have to take a good look at it."

Hearing what Yuichiro Yoshikawa said, Kurumi Honma couldn't stop him, so he could only sigh inwardly, poured a cup of tea and put it aside.

Yoshikawa Yuichiro's mind was long gone on tea, he picked up the manuscript and began to read it carefully.

As a leading figure in the literary world, he just read the first two pages and found that this work is quite different from the previous "Snow Country".

The previous "Snow Country" is undoubtedly extremely beautiful in the choice of words and sentences, and it extremely represents the idea of ​​aestheticism literature.

But this "Personal Experience" in his hands seems to have left this point aside, and the sentences are more bland.

Could it be that Hiroto Akihara wants to change his style?

Thinking of this, Yuichiro Yoshikawa frowned, and even thought of calling to persuade the other party.

For ordinary writers, it is enough to be able to write a style well and write it to the extreme.

It's like he has always insisted on the aesthetic style since his debut. Although the focus is different, the core remains the same.

Many of those who debuted at the same time as him did not stick to their original ideas, and often ended up being lost in the crowd or even quitting the literary world.

Of course this is not absolute.

If you encounter a bottleneck when creating, or can't move forward on one road, it's okay to change directions.

But Hiroto Akihara wrote "Snow Country" on the road of aestheticism, and it turned out to be so halfway.

Yuichiro Yoshikawa didn't like this point, he thought that kid Akihara Yuto was a little impetuous.

Although he was dissatisfied, he still lowered his head and continued to watch.

No matter what, since Akihara Hiroto has handed over the work to himself, even if he has any opinions, he should read it first before giving his opinion.

However, he decided that if the work was not good, he would definitely "criticize" it severely.

Although Akihara Hiroto is not his disciple, he is currently the "junior writer" he values ​​most.

That being the case, then I have to treat him with a stricter attitude.

The time passed bit by bit, and 4 hours passed quickly. During this time, Yuichiro Yoshikawa basically kept reading, and he didn't even take a sip of tea.

But when he turned to the last page, Yoshikawa Yuichiro's heart changed drastically.

God of learning, how much talent in literature have you given Hiroto Akihara!

[Chapter 280.279 Cruel Life]

Yuichiro Yoshikawa originally believed that Hiroto Akihara's work was an attempt at a new genre style, so it was difficult to break away from the shadow of the original aestheticism literature.

It may be written "rough".

But after watching the whole thing completely, his thoughts have been completely reversed.

Compared with "Snow Country", this "Personal Experience" has completely cast aside the shadow of aestheticism literature, and dares to face "the cruelty of reality".

And this kind of cruelty is called life.

In this work, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting characters, or even the protagonist's children, their lives are dilapidated and unbearable.

As the protagonist, Bird interrupted his postgraduate studies due to alcoholism. Although he became a foreign language teacher in a cram school with the help of his father-in-law, reality did not allow him to settle down.

He always felt that there was something missing in his life, his marriage was unsatisfactory, and his life was like a cage.

At the trough of life, his wife gave birth to a son with a brain disability, which aggravated Bird's mental crisis.

In his agony, he fantasized about adventures in Africa to "peek beyond the security and banality of everyday life in the present."

As a lover, Himiko is almost the same.

She had an affair with Bird, but married another graduate student anyway.

But after a year of marriage, her husband found out about her homosexual behavior and committed suicide in anger.

From then on, Himiko lived in the original house, took the living expenses given by her husband and father, and lived a life of night and day.
