It is not uncommon for academic scholars to regard some well-known writers as research objects. The research content includes but is not limited to life verification, creation of chronological genealogies, staged analysis of literary creation, etc.

Qingshui Zhangsi studied Lin Chaoyang's life, and there was nothing wrong with this matter itself.

But the difference is that unless it is a literary master of Lu Xun and Kawabata Yasunari, most scholars will not put too much effort into the basic life of writers.

The research method of magnifying small and enlarging is really refreshing.

"Although studying a writer's life is a basic work, a person's growth environment and experience during his youth has a huge impact on his life. It is not that simple to combine the perspectives of history, sociology, psychology, etc.."

Shimizu Akishi did not explain it to Hirohei Ikeda, but to explain it to Lin Chaoyang.

Seeing Lin Chaoyang nodding, he immediately climbed down the pole and said, "Thanks Lin Sang for his understanding. It is rare to have the opportunity to communicate with you face to face. If you have time, I want to talk to you more, it is best to have an in-depth interview."

Although he had only talked for a while, Lin Chaoyang obviously felt that Shimizu's personality was very different from that of traditional Japanese people. He did not have those restrained and old-fashioned genes and was not particular about details.

It is also a magical thing for such a person to study with peace of mind.

Lin Chaoyang's itinerary to Japan this time was quite nervous, but he thought that Shimizu-Zhaosi was quite interesting and didn't mind cooperating with him for an interview.

Seeing that Lin Chaoyang agreed to his request, Zhang Si Qingshui was overjoyed and did not act like a middle-aged man in his early forties at all.

The salon was held all day, and when it was approaching the end, Naoko Kondo announced a news without warning.

"After communicating with the Yale University East Asia Research Committee in the United States for the past six months, the Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association will be established in the United States in 3 months!"

There was a sudden roar in the venue. Everyone's expressions were not too surprised, they were all full of surprises. Only Lin Chaoyang felt very wrong.

Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association?

This thing is also a branch?

He was full of questions and couldn't help but ask Naoko Kondo.

"Feinnenwen?"

Lin Chaoyang mentioned a familiar name from Naoko Kondo, and remembered it in just two seconds. Isn’t this the same room where Liu Zhida studied at Yanda back then?

More information is revealed from memory, American students, Harvard and Yale double doctoral students, and are familiar with "Jin Ping Mei"

In Lin Chaoyang's impression, he had only met Fei Nengwen once or twice, but he did not expect that he would "see you again" in this way many years later.

More than half a year ago, Naoko Kondo went to the United States to participate in an academic event and met Fei Nengwen, who has become a professor of sinology at Yale University. The two talked about the study of Chinese literature. Naoko Kondo talked about Lin Chaoyang (Japan) Literary Research Association.

Fei Nengwen said in surprise that he knew Lin Chaoyang. In the past two years, Lin Chaoyang's works have been extremely popular in the United States, and some professors in the American sinology community have also begun to study his works.

The two had a great conversation and thought it would be a good idea to set up a Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association in the United States. So Fei Nengwen returned to Yale and applied to the East Asian Research Committee.

The Yale University East Asian Research Committee was established in 1961 and is one of the most powerful academic institutions in East Asian research in the American academic community.

It includes more than 20 core disciplines and 15 language professors. The research topics basically cover all aspects of East Asian society. It is one of the most complete regional research projects at Yale University.

The establishment of the Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association is actually not difficult. An informal academic institution can register and apply for it as long as it is a scholar. If it is difficult, it can obtain the school's financial and resource support.

After more than half a year of communication, Fei Nengwen's application was finally approved by the East Asian Research Commission.

Naoko Kondo received the news half a month ago and has not been announced. Instead, she chose to announce it on the 10th anniversary salon, which is a surprise to Lin Chaoyang who came from afar.

The academic circles of various countries have established Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association. This matter has nothing to do with Lin Chaoyang, but it has something to do with Lin Chaoyang.

It doesn't matter that these academic institutions exist independently and have no interest in them.

What is related is that with these academic institutions and researchers, many of Lin Chaoyang's works are likely to become subtly classics praised by many high-level intellectuals in the next few years, and their reputations will increase greatly.

Lin Chaoyang didn't have much feeling that the United States would also set up a literary research association, but he talked to Naoko Kondo about Fu Nengwen's recent situation.

When they were in Yanda, the two had only met each other, and Fei Nengwen had never contacted each other after returning to the United States.

Compared to Lin Chaoyang, some members of the research association looked very happy.

Japan, both the United States established the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association, and there will inevitably be academic exchange activities in the future. Wouldn't it be a visiting scholar at that time?

This is a real benefit.

The salon ended in a festive atmosphere. In the evening, the Heshu Study sponsored the dinner, and the Dabian Products prepared souvenirs for every member.

Lin Chaoyang looked at the souvenir curiously. Two gift boxes were contained in the exquisite bag, with the logo of the research association.

stationery set and an automatic coffee machine produced by Dajing Products.

Naoko Kondo said that the market price of this souvenir is about 30,000 yen, and more than 80 members of the Research Association will cost more than 2 million yen. Including dinner and other expenses, sponsoring a salon will cost more than 6 million yen, which is equivalent to about 400,000 yuan.

This number doesn't sound like a lot, especially compared with academic conferences in popular research fields such as biomedicine and computer.

However, those research fields have strong academic monetization capabilities, and many large companies are willing to sponsor and are often generous.

However, research institutions like Lin Chaoyang (Japan) Literary Research Association basically do not have any academic monetization ability to obtain academic activities. This kind of sponsorship is purely to generate electricity for love.

The earliest activities of the Lin Chaoyang (Japan) Literary Research Association were sponsored by Kawato Study Room, and the sponsorship of Oi Products started four years ago.

Dabian Products is not a big company in Japan, but its strength is not small. The annual domestic and foreign trade volume is nearly 40.

0 billion yen.

Oi Keiko is the second generation of Oi Products and graduated from a Japanese university. According to official statistics from Japan, Japanese universities rank first among the female presidents of Japanese universities.

After that, there were many famous schools, such as Keio Private School University, Waseda University, Tokyo Women's Medical University, etc.

Oi Keiko is indeed a loyal fan of Lin Chaoyang with real money to support her favorite writers.

The next morning, Lin Chaoyang met Zhang Si Qingshui again. The two made an appointment yesterday to have an interview.

After the interview, Shimizu Koshi closed the notebook with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for Lin Sang's help. With these materials, my research will definitely go smoother. If I can publish a book in the future, I will mail you a sample book."

Lin Chaoyang is full of black lines. Just write a creative chronology, but don’t get a life test. I want to live a few more years.

After seeing off Shimizu Akishi, Naoko Kondo came to ask Lin Chaoyang if she wanted to go out for a walk in the afternoon and buy some gifts for her family.

Lin Chaoyang had no idea, thinking that he would only leave tomorrow, so he would go out for a walk.

The two of them went out to Akihabara, and the Sakura Gate was not far from watching Akihabara.

This was originally an electronic street. After the 1980s, ACGN was driven by the popularization of computers and the wave of technological innovation.

The world also showed a grand occasion, and many ACGN enthusiasts began to visit Akihabara.

Teahouses that imitate the scene settings in the game and the costumes of the characters also appeared at this time. Coffee shops that opened as waiter cosplay also appeared one after another. Stores that integrate comic teahouses and game coffee shops are also quite popular.

In addition to many computers, ACG stores have emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, making Akihabara a holy place for the Japanese otaku.

Walking on the streets of Akihabara, Lin Chaoyang suddenly noticed a familiar name.

Pop Mart?

He stopped and couldn't help but take a look. Naoko Kondo, who was standing beside him, also stopped.

On the streets where various computers and ACG specialty stores are lined with them, Pop Mart's signature looks very eye-catching, and Lin Chaoyang walked into the store with some novelty.

With the same decoration style and the same layout, this Pop Mart in Akihabara almost replicated the first store in Xiangjiang.

The difference is that the product types are more abundant, and it has specially opened up a sales area for comic works under Bubble Universe, and some products are co-branded with Japanese comic works.

Lin Chaoyang looked at it and found no famous IP. It was normal to think about it. Foreigners like Bubble Universe entered the Japanese market in large numbers, so how could their peers not be alert?

After looking around, he finally found something new, it was Takuma Kazuko.

This electronic pet produced by Bandai Company has just been born. The electronic pet product is better than creativity. In this small electronic pet egg, children can simulate raising pets, feed them, play with them, and treat them when they are sick.

More than half a year after the release of this product in later generations, it quickly became popular all over the world.

Unexpectedly, he started a joint deal with Pop Mart. Lin Chaoyang guessed that Wanda should be for product promotion, and Lin Chaoyang guessed.

After buying a few electronic pets, he stayed in the store for a while and found that the store was quite objective, but it was definitely incomparable to the store in Xiangjiang.

After walking around for an afternoon, I returned to the hotel to rest for a night. The next day, Lin Chaoyang flew back to Xiangjiang.

When he returned home, he distributed the gift to his children. Dongdong fiddled with it for a few times. He was over the age of interested in these small objects.

Yan Yan had a lot of fun and seemed to like it very much.

"You went to Japan and brought this thing back?" Tao Yumo asked.

Bandai has cooperated with Bubble Universe. In Tao Yumo's opinion, electronic pet products such as Tuoma Gezi are naturally not rare, and their tone reveals a sense of disgust.

"There are no shortages of Hong Kong that can be bought in Japan."

"You're still not sincere."

Seeing my sister's eyes look over, her tone calmed down, "Sister, my brother-in-law didn't even buy you a gift."

Tao Yushu ignored her "spoken behavior" and cared about Lin Chaoyang's experience in Japan over the past few days.

When she heard that Yale University was going to establish Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association, her eyes suddenly lit up. Even Tao Yumo on the side was full of surprise and shouted in fuss:

"Good! Yale University studies you? If this news is sent back to Yanda, you will be shocked to your chin?"

"It's not about studying me, it's about studying works."

"Then you just said that there was a Shimizuzhang or something, and you were going to come to China to learn about your youth."

"Life exams are the basic work of research, and you are becoming more and more ignorant now."

Tao Yumo was not angry when she was sarcastic by Lin Chaoyang. She is now particularly curious about the impact of the establishment of the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association on Lin Chaoyang.

"There is no impact. They are all practical literary research work, and their influence is limited to academic research in colleges and universities."
