"The final question is that the achievements of the two people in literary creation are of great importance. Mr. Daejiang calls for 'post-humanitarianism' in his works, and Lin Sang once put forward the view that 'literary works should be loved and enjoyed'.

In your opinion, can literature in this era still bear the function of redemption? How do you view the current dilemma?"

The exchange meeting lasted nearly an hour and a half, and most of the content was discussed around metaphysical consciousness and concepts, and the topic was not people-friendly.

But the students present were fascinated by the hearing. Those who could come to this exchange meeting today were all in-depth literary youths, immersed in the sparks and light of thoughts that came from the conversation between Lin Chaoyang and Kensalo Oe.

The exchange meeting ended, Naoko Kondo asked the last question.

Kenzaburo Oe thought for a long time before saying: "Literature assumes social responsibilities by the times, and similarly, the difficulties it faces are also caused by the times.

In this era of rapid technological development, people's attention and preferences are attracted by too many entertainment methods. We cannot demand that literature develop as vigorously as the 19th century.

As for the saying of 'salvation', this statement is too great that no art form can carry such a grand proposition. Literature is at best to give some inspiration to life and life to readers who are willing to get close to it."

After Kensaburo Oe answered the question, Naoko Kondo and the students present looked at Lin Chaoyang again. "Actually, when we talk about literature, all its attributes outside of text reading are artificially attached. As Mr. Oe said, it was created by the times.

The grand narrative color fades away, and we only talk about the writing itself, which is actually a very personal matter, which also causes the dissemination of literary works to have its limitations.

Why have so many classics been born in the past century? In fact, to a large extent, the culture of Western countries has formed a compulsory 'universal value' under the cover of strong ships and powerful guns.

In today's society, globalization is becoming a trend, but the boundaries of literature in media communication have been compressed, and of course there are other ways of entertainment.

I think the ultimate reason is that literature returns to its place.

The one who creates is the individual, and the one who reads is the individual.

If you can get the love and resonance of thousands of people, it is a blessing for the creator, not a result that can be forced.

But I believe that literature is still the faint fire that tries to illuminate the human spiritual cave, pierces the darkness and spreads light, which is the meaning of the existence of the fire."

A low and gentle voice echoed in the venue. Lin Chaoyang's views were similar to Kensaburo Oe, but his explanations were obviously more positive and powerful.

This is also very consistent with the temperament of Chinese and Japanese.

For the young students present, Lin Chaoyang's statement of vigor and hope is undoubtedly more in line with their state of mind.

After he answered the question, there was a thunderous applause on the spot.

In the next question session, Naoko Kondo pointed to a boy with a thin cheek and body.

"I have read Mr. Lin's "Entering the Master" and "The Legend of the Boat". Your works are very popular in many countries, and Mr. Daejiang's works may be only one-tenth of Mr. Lin's sales. Mr. Daejiang, how do you view this phenomenon?"

After hearing this question, Kensalo Oe showed a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"To be honest, I'm very jealous."

The scene suddenly burst into laughter.

He continued: "But jealousy cannot solve the problem. Lin Sang can grasp the balance between literary nature and reading fun, which is a talent that transcends ordinary people.

From my personal perspective, I actually considered whether I should write more relaxed content when I was young, but later I found that I couldn't do it.

Later, I gradually figured out that light style and heavy themes can coexist, but not everyone can put aside their personal emotions and ideas when creating.

But I think this is also the charm of literature. It is precisely because of the colorful spiritual world of everyone that readers can feel the difference in this world.”

Kensalo Oe’s answer was very sincere. The thin boy bowed to express his gratitude, and the students below applauded.

When it was his turn to ask Lin Chaoyang, Naoko Kondo noticed a very high-spirited boy wearing square glasses and holding his hands high.

"Student, please ask a question."

The man in glasses stood up and pushed the frame of the mirror, "Hello, I am Yukio Yamada from the Department of Economics. What I want to ask is that Mr. Lin, your works "Crossing the Kanto" and "Chess Saint" have anti-Japanese plots, and you seem to be very hostile to our Japan."

The man with glasses has a very strong tone. Although he was asking questions, his tone was more like a Jie asked question.

After he asked his question, Naoko Kondo's face looked unhappy. Kensaki Oe on the side raised his eyebrows slightly, and some commotion appeared among the students below. He looked at Lin Chaoyang on the stage, wondering how he would deal with it.

Facing the accusation of the man with glasses, Lin Chaoyang's face was calm and he pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Mr. Yamada just mentioned two things. One is that I think there are anti-Japanese plots in my work, and the other is that I think I am hostile to Japan.

I think before talking about these two things, we must first establish the basis of the conversation, that is, the war of aggression launched by the Japanese army during World War II brought serious disasters to the people of China, the United States and many Asian countries.

I wonder if this gentleman agrees with this historical fact?"

The man with eyes looked hesitant. Since he asked the question just now, he was obviously an authentic rightist.

Lin Chaoyang's replies made him feel uncomfortable. Although Xiaosheng has never stopped secretly tampering with history textbooks over the years,

But their generation obviously cannot achieve such shameless and complete denial as it is ten or twenty years later.

Moreover, Lin Chaoyang specifically mentioned the "USA". It is an indisputable fact that Japan still has US troops stationed here.

When people later mentioned the US military stationed in Japan, they thought of the US-Japan Security Treaty.

But in fact, the United States was in a state of "occupation" against Japan. In this context, the grandfather of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan was the emperor. Even the right-wing man could not muster up the courage to deny this history.

"Yes." He spitted out this answer with difficulty.

Lin Chaoyang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll answer your question just now."

"First, what you said is 'anti-Japanese' is a wrong concept, not 'anti-Japanese', but "anti-Japanese". A robber in the family,

Is it also a mistake to pick up the sword and gun to fight back?

Now that World War II has been over so many years, some people in Japan may gradually have some strange ideas.

For example, so many years have passed and we have apologized, why are you still complaining and hating?

Many people should understand that Chinese people have always regarded learning from history, especially those who like to summarize and summarize the failures of the ancients. They are also alert to ourselves and not to make the same mistakes as in the past.

In the 13th century, Kublai Khan launched two wars against Japan. This was the first time that Japan was subjected to a large-scale military attack from the mainland, but it successfully overcomes the crisis.

You call the typhoon that overthrew the Yuan army 'Kamikaze'. In the following hundreds of years, these two battles have been a very special battle in Japanese history, and they call the Mongols the Yuan gangs.

If you follow your logic, is it wrong for Japan to promote this? Since it has been happening in the past few hundred years, why should I come up with it?

Japan won two battles back then and could be spread for hundreds of years.

As a victim of World War II, do you think it is appropriate to talk about this?”

Lin Chaoyang looked serious and every reason he refuted was reasonable. Finally, his sharp tone made the man with glasses a little at a loss and his eyes were flustered.

Lin Chaoyang looked at the other party contemptuously and continued:

"Let's talk about the second one, whether I am hostile to Japan.

Before answering this question, I would like to ask Mr. Yamada, are you hostile to China?”

"Forehead-

Yukio Yamada hesitated and dared not answer. He realized the trap in Lin Chaoyang's dialect.

Since his question just now is full of aggressiveness, it must be hostile. Since he is hostile, how can he blame others for not being hostile to you?

Lin Chaoyang chuckled, "Then let's just assume that it's not hostile."

For some reason, Yamayuki breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Your surname is Yamada, so do you know how your surname comes from?"

Lin Chaoyang suddenly changed the subject, and Yamada was puzzled again. Without waiting for his answer, Lin Chaoyang said: "Before 1875, except for the nobles, Japanese civilians were not allowed to have surnames.

Judging from Mr. Yamada's surname, I think my ancestors should have Yama and Tian."

As soon as he finished speaking, some people suddenly burst into laughter.

Yamada Yukio's face turned red, his eyes were filled with anger, thinking that Lin Chaoyang was humiliating him by using his surname.

He was about to speak for himself, but Lin Chaoyang said: "In feudal society, ordinary people did not deserve a surname. But decades later, it was these ordinary people who had just owned surnames that became the fuel for the largest foreign aggression war in Japan's history.

Men go to the battlefield, the elderly, weak, women and children guarantee logistics, and use the hard work and lives of countless people to support the ambitions of the ruling class."

Speaking of this, Lin Chaoyang sighed and shook his head, his face full of compassion.

He suddenly started to read the poem:

At night, he threw himself into Shihao Village, and an official caught people at night.

The old man walked over the wall and the old woman went out to see.

How angry is the official’s call! How hard is the woman’s hooves!

Before listening to the woman's speech: Three men are mailing in the city.

One man came with a letter, and the two men died in battle.

Those who survive will live secretly, and those who die will live long!

Lin Chaoyang's poems made it difficult for him to translate, and he didn't know how to translate them for a while. Fortunately, Naoko Kondo was proficient in Chinese and interpreted poems for him.

He also explained the origin of the poem to the students present.

"Shihao Lie", written by Du Fu.

Tang poetry is also known as Chinese poetry in Japan, and has had a huge influence in Japan for thousands of years.

Naoko Kondo introduced that the author was Du Fu. The students present immediately realized that Du Fu's "Spring Look" was a Chinese poem they learned since childhood in the textbook.

After understanding the origin of the poem and listening to the explanation, everyone present understood what Lin Chaoyang meant, and a look of thought couldn't help but reveal his eyes.

At this time, Lin Chaoyang said earnestly: "You ask me if I have any hostility to Japan. Now my answer is: Yes, I think this should be the answer you want to hear.
