Gotta Go the Healing Route

Pulled away by Akane Kazama, the three of them sat down at the low table, Toyama Kisaragi couldn't wait to ask several questions in succession.

"Student Yuanshan, you should just call me by my name. We are all young people, so it's really awkward to be called like that. And I just wrote two fairy tales."

"Those two fairy tales are not 'just'. Those two fairy tales can be passed down as a part of literature."

Yuan Shan Ruyue stared and said.

"Readers who pay attention to the literary genre of fairy tales now know the name 'Fairy Night'."

"Okay, okay..." Kazama Xi quickly waved.

"All in all, you are Xiaoqian's senior sister. If you want to be a good friend, just call me normally."

"As for the inspiration of those two fairy tales, they naturally come from life. "The Little Match Girl" is because I saw a homeless man in ragged clothes on the street before."

Kazama Xi put herself into the social background when master Hans Christian Andersen wrote that fairy tale.The society at that time was polarized due to the large gap between rich and poor.There are young children everywhere who go out to earn a living without enough food.The little match girl was just a microcosm of this group at that time.

"The words of "Galaxy Railway Journey" are probably because of a dream I once had."

At that time, Kenji Miyazawa was devastated by the death of his sister, and this feeling of losing a loved one gave Kenji Miyazawa a desire to express the theme of human beings wanting to save themselves, save others, and gain relief in the face of suffering. desire.

When reading "Galaxy Railway Night" in the previous life, Kazama Xi also knew the creative background of Miyazawa Kenji at that time.

"As for the style of writing, maybe it's because I personally prefer tragedies to happy and beautiful stories."

"tragedy?"

Yuan Shanruyue's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new point of interest.

"Speaking of tragedy, Kazama-kun, what do you think of tragedy and comedy? Do you think tragedy is higher than comedy?"

Yuan Shan Ruyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put down the teacup and asked such a question.

Among them, the large span of thinking caught Feng Jianxi by surprise.

Looking at the serious girl in front of her, Kazama Xi sighed in her heart.

Literary fanatics...

Xi Kazama immediately understood why Akane Kazama said that when she talked about her senior sister, she looked a little weird to outsiders.

"Regarding tragedy and comedy, both are cultural genres, and it is impossible to distinguish who is better from a comprehensive perspective. Or this kind of comparison is actually meaningless."

Kazama Xi calmly avoided a small hole dug in the problem of Yuanshan Ruyue.

"Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for others to see, and comedy is to tear up the worthless things in life for others to see."

"Although it seems that the two are opposite to each other, the connotations of both are equally profound."

"Kazama-kun, your answer is too smooth."

Yuanshan Ruyue's face puffed up slightly, as if expressing his protest.

"However, 'tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for others to see, and comedy is to tear up the worthless things in life for others to see.'..."

"This sentence is very flavorful..."

Of course there is a taste...

Looking at the distant mountains like the moon seemed to be chewing on the meaning of this sentence, Kazama Xi complained in her heart.

This is a famous sentence of Mr. **.In his previous life, this frequent visitor in Chinese textbooks, the words left by his articles are the nightmare of most students who are not good at Chinese.

Imprinting **'s famous quotes deeply in his mind, Yuan Shan Ruyue asked again: "Then if we look at it one-sidedly, look at these two genres from a personal point of view."

"Personally, of course I prefer tragic literature."

"In general, tragedy exalts humanity.

Comedy is to make fun of it. "

"Tragedy literature is often serious. Most of the protagonists are morally superior but not perfect. Such stories can arouse pity and fear in readers and make readers think more. Comedy stories are often dramatic, based on characters and ideas. Beyond the norm as a basis."

Most writers, philosophers and poets give the art of tragedy a very high status.

Like "the crown of poetry" and "the pinnacle of literature and art", these are all praises of tragedy.

All the bigwigs in the previous life, from the classical Aristotle, to Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche in the West, to Cao Xueqin, Kong Shangren, Guan Hanqing, Ma Zhiyuan, etc. in the East, all love tragedy very much.

The reason why tragedy has a very high status among all kinds of arts is that it does what other arts cannot do, and it is because of the unique effect it achieves.

"Tragedy is more impactful than comedy, and it allows the audience to put passion and emotion into it. That is to make readers or audiences more involved."

"I'm not saying that comedy has no impact. It's just that when it reflects the cruelty of reality, it generally avoids or resolves the tragic ending in its own way, making readers and audience laugh. But the core of what you want to express It will inevitably be much weaker."

"The characters in tragic stories are generally very personal, not fake, and easier to impress the audience. That is to say, put emotions into this character."

"Compared with tragedy, comedy has a sense of distance, because for the sake of comedy, the writer will have a strong sense of the subject of the story, so that readers and audiences can clearly position themselves as bystanders."

"That's about it, so I personally prefer tragedies..."

Back then, in order to pretend to be Feng Jianxi, I also watched some plays by the patriarch, and at the same time, I also brought commentary and analysis.

Having said so much, Kazama Xi also felt a little dry mouth, picked up the tea in front of him and moistened his throat.

"That's very good, Mr. Kazama..." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kazama Xi felt that the eyes of the distant mountains were brighter.

When Kazama Xi felt something was wrong, Kazama Akane finally stepped out.

"Enough is enough, you two, okay..."

Kazama Akane's voice intervened in the conversation, and the previous conversation between the two made Kazama Akane feel a deep sense of incompatibility.

Am I here for a birthday party?Why is this banquet the atmosphere of a literature seminar!

"Senior Toyama!" Akane Kazama looked at Toyama Ruyue, who also knew that her old problem was committed, so she coughed lightly.

Fortunately, at this time, various dishes were brought up by the waiter.

While eating kaiseki dishes that look high-end and elegant, but are no different from ordinary vegetarian meals, the taste is extremely bland. Under the guidance of Akane Kazama, the topic finally became a daily chore.

"I'm going back to Tokyo next year, Xiaoqian, you have to work harder. I think I can still see you next year."

Akane Kazama wants to be admitted to a school in Tokyo, and Xi Kazama knows this very well.From this point of view, she was still influenced by her senior sister.

"Where's Kazama-kun? Are you going to stay in Kyoto to study in high school?"

"No, I will also go to Tokyo to study in high school." Xi Kazama shook her head and said.

Tokyo is a gathering place for serial manga writers, and it is also convenient for the editor of Shueisha, who will go to high school there.

"That's it, that's great. I hope to have the opportunity to continue communicating with Kazama-kun in the future."

...............

After dinner, Yuan Shan Ruyue sent birthday wishes, and the banquet was officially over.

The brothers and sister Kazama Xi took a taxi and went straight home, while Toyama Kisaragi got into a black limousine.

"Uncle Quan, let's go home."

Speaking to the middle-aged man who was obviously a private driver, Toyama Kisaragi sat on the back seat and looked at the gift bag on her lap, which was a gift from Akane Kazama.

Yuanshan Ruyue took out a small purple box from the bag, opened the box, and there was a red hairband lying quietly in it.

Looking at the hairband, Yuanshan Ruyue showed a smile on his face, and then took out the hairband and tied it on his hair.

Yuan Shan Kisaragi didn't put down the bag, because she could feel that there was still something in the bag.

Taking it out, Yuanshan Ruyue found that it was a thick stack of copies.

The manuscript has been stapled, and Yuanshan Ruyue saw the three Chinese characters handwritten on the manuscript—'风间晚'.

"Xiaoqian still understands me... the story written by Kazama-kun?"

Yuanshan Kisaragi looked up and saw the name of this story.

Yuanshan Ruyue read it softly:

"From the New World?"

Chapter 74 From the New World

Speaking of science fiction works, most of them are based on the highly developed technology in the future, or describe conflicts and contradictions that lead to wars, or describe stories about a new future life.With strong imagination, the author shows readers the countless possibilities of future technology.

But there are also mavericks among them, and the Japanese writer Kishi Yusuke is one of them.

His work "From the New World" abandons the perspective of scientific and technological development, and instead stands at the level of social development, describing another scene of the future.

This novel has been praised by some readers and book critics as "the highest masterpiece so far".

Although this evaluation is a bit exaggerated, it can't stop Feng Jianxi's love for him in his previous life.

This novel tells the story of the world 1000 years later. Human beings destroyed the existing world order because of their own evolution, and groped for a new order in darkness and turmoil, blood and tears.

1000 years later, in a Utopian town [Kamizu 66 Town] that is "sickly beautiful", the young protagonists gradually discover the ugly truth behind the beautiful life, and stage a bloody, earth-shattering scene amidst the screams of the massacre of the rats. scene of disaster.

...............

Sitting on the back seat of the car, Yuanshan Ruyue looked at the manuscript in his hand.

The unique scent of ink permeated the tip of the nose, and it was obvious that this story was coded by Kazama Xi with a computer.

Traditional writers like to use handwriting to create, but since the birth of computers, many new text creators use computers to write.This is more convenient and faster.

'It's a pity it's not a handwritten manuscript. ' Yuanshan Ruyue felt a little regretful.

The manuscript of "The Little Match Girl" written by Kazama Xi last time is still well preserved by her.

However, the little regret of Yuanshan Ruyue was immediately forgotten, and all attention was attracted by the text in the manuscript.

The story begins with the autobiography of a middle-aged woman in her 30s.

From the perspective of No.1, it recalls a woman's childhood.

This is a small town surrounded by mountains, the boat shuttles in the golden wheat waves, and the brilliant light of the creature named Minobai flashes across the mountainside.

The children played on the grass until the gentle rays of the setting sun shone, and then set foot on the way home to the song "Homecoming".

From the children's perspective, in the beautiful melody of "Returning", a beautiful village seems to be unfolded in front of the distant mountains like the moon.

The streets under the setting sun, the pine forests that draw slender black shadows on the sand, and dozens of acres of paddy fields reflect the dark sky like a mirror, and there are groups of red dragonflies in the sky, and the sunset is unobstructed from the hills .

This village is called [Kamisu 66 Town], with a population of just over [-].This village does not have a so-called currency, or an economic system.

The institutional basis of this small society is mutual trust and mutual assistance, selfless dedication, and the natural flow of talents to where they are needed.
