Chapter 175: In terms of seniority, you should call me BB
The banquet meal started with sake and ended with rice and miso soup. In the middle of the banquet, someone brought some manuscripts for Toru Ryukawa to look at.
"Teacher Longchuan, I wrote a manuscript that I plan to submit for this group portrait award. Can you help me take a look?"
The person who spoke was the person who just said that art should be transcendental, preferring the art form of "Snow Country".
Ryukawa Toru patted the remains of the explosives on his hands and took the manuscript.
"Mirror of Dusk Scene"
Longchuan Che raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young man opposite.
Wearing a black jacket and looking a little thin, Toru Ryukawa looked down.
Not only did the other party praise it verbally, but the things he wrote also had a "New Sensation" flavor.
Personification, suggestion, symbolism, investing subjective feelings into objects, and using words to pursue novel expressions.
"Over the distant mountain tops, there is still a faint afterglow of sunset.
The outline of the scenery seen through the car window receded into the distance, but did not disappear, but it was eclipsed.
Although the train continued to run forward, in his opinion, the ordinary posture of the mountains and fields became more and more ordinary.
Since nothing really attracted his attention, there seemed to be a huge torrent of emotion hidden in his heart.”
Longchuan Che looked at it, then pursed his lips and smiled.
“Very good.”
‘Ryuchuan Tetsu’s temper is not as bad as the rumors say. ’
Ryukawa Toru is a legend in the Faculty of Literature of Tokyo University.
First, they had an unconfirmed argument with their teacher, Ichitaro Miyasei, and then they scolded the seniors during the youth awards.
The labels of 'hard to talk' and 'arrogant' have already been labeled.
But now
The young man held his girlfriend's hand and smiled with red lips and white teeth.
"Teacher Longchuan, do you also agree with the statement that 'literature should be transcendent'?"
Toru Ryukawa is the founder of the 'New Sensation School'. The girl who just asked Toru Ryukawa for his autograph asked curiously.
The girl's eyes showed a hint of admiration, or in other words, most young people had some respect for Ryukawa Tetsu.
After all, at the age of eighteen, he wrote "Snow Country" and "Youth Trilogy".
The Arakawa river flows upstream, and the eighteen-year-old boy is in high spirits.
Toru Ryukawa stood on the podium with a commanding presence, which is already the impression that many young people have on him.
"Hmm"
As soon as Toru Ryukawa received attention, Akane Takeda's expression turned ugly. Toru Ryukawa watched Akane get up and walk to the toilet with a cold face.
"Politics and literature are inseparable."
Since it was a small talk, Tatsukawa Tetsuya had something to say. He used chopsticks to knock off his girlfriend's hand that wanted to secretly taste the sake. Tatsukawa Tetsuya continued,
“As García Márquez, the author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, said: The writer’s position is a political position, and the task of changing that society is so urgent that no one can escape political work.
Moreover, both my political interests and my literary interests draw nourishment from the same source: concern for people, the world around me, society, and life itself.
Literary interest is a kind of political interest, and political interest is also a kind of literary interest.
Both are forms of concern with reality. ”
The 'New Sensationists' who pursue the supremacy of art actually said that art cannot avoid politics. The student who wrote "Mirror of Dusk Scene" said hesitantly:
"But you didn't show any political intention of criticism or reflection in "Snow Country", or even any social and humanistic topics, just blindly"
The other party looked a little excited, and Ryukawa Toru shook his head.
"Not showing political intentions is sometimes a political intention."
Toru Tatsukawa is very happy that some people study "Snow Country" and some people like the art form of "New Sensationism", but if the other person thinks "Snow Country" is "useless", "purposeless", "non-political" and "literature" Tatsukawa Toru All I can say is, 'The other party doesn't understand politics, nor does he understand literature. ’
"Muzi, please wait for me here. Please excuse me." What Ryukawa Toru said needed them to digest, and he was also a little impatient with Takeda Akane who kept finding trouble.
Last time in Yamanashi, I let the opponent slip away, this time.
Looking at Ying Sili who was chatting animatedly over there, Ryukawa Che smiled.
After warning his girlfriend not to secretly drink sake, Tatsukawa Toru walked away from the banquet meal.
The banquet cuisine is held in a high-end restaurant. There is a migratory water pavilion outside the dining room.
The gurgling water swirls around the black rockery, a bit like a miniature version of Nijo Castle in Kyoto.
The spring breeze blows the willows, and the green branches droop to the water.
Ryukawa Toru waited in the corridor for a while, and Takeda Akane came out from a corner with water drops on her hands.
Wearing a pleated skirt and an elegant French lace shirt.
Akane Takeda's dress became more and more refined from Tokyo to Yamanashi.
"Yo~"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Before Ryukawa Che opened his mouth, he raised his eyebrows when he saw the girl sitting on the edge of the corridor, and said in a sinister tone:
"If a great writer doesn't talk about literature inside, why would he come out?"
The girl's face was pure and charming, as if she had two personalities mixed together. Toru Ryukawa really wanted to say, does the little girl have two faces in the movie? You must know that she is a good girl in front of most of her family and friends, but today it was the first time he saw her in person.
Ryukawa Tetsu pinched his chin and glanced at the opponent's tender legs exposed in the spring breeze.
The other party was dressed much more boldly than the little girlfriend. The waist of the skirt was folded twice to just above the knees. She was wearing white socks and small leather shoes.
He should also be a popular little idol in school.
When Ryukawa Tetsu was eating just now, she saw several boys trying to get closer to her.
"What are you looking at me for? What a pervert!"
The opponent's gaze swept across his knees.
Sweep the skirt.
Takeda Akane felt a strange sense of shame in her heart.
It was a bit like the girl who was fooling around finally got a look, but Akane Takeda would never admit to this feeling.
"What, you saw me coming out and you chased me out? Like a puppy chasing its owner?"
The girl crossed her arms and spoke still viciously, but Toru Ryukawa rolled his eyes and interrupted her.
"You seem to be very popular in Dongdali?"
Ryukawa Toru looked at the other party with some curiosity. The other party was beautiful and it was normal for him to be pursued by boys, but when he was eating just now, there were waves of boys approaching him.
"Huh? Are you jealous?"
The girl showed a genuine smile and looked at Ryukawa Toru who was sitting on the edge of the water pavilion.
The other person was wearing a white shirt, and the wind blew through his hair, revealing his beautiful eyebrows.
Akane Takeda walked next to Toru Ryukawa, with a teasing smile on her face.
"Let's do this."
"If you follow the example of a puppy barking three times and then break up with Muzi..."
"I will..."
Before I could finish saying anything, Toru Ryukawa silently broke off the willow branch next to him to interrupt.
"Xiao Qian."
"Huh?"
The willow branches made a swishing sound in the air, and Ryukawa Toru said with a serious face:
"You can't talk to uncle like that."
