Hiroto Akihara sighed, and put the matter behind him.

It's useless to worry about it myself, let's return to my main thread as soon as possible-literature.

He walked to the study room, took out a stack of academic books and periodicals from a drawer, and began to read them.

During this period of time, the sales volume of the book "Snow Country" has become more and more stable.

However, in academia, a number of related papers have come out.

For example, "On the "Nihilism" Thought in Yuuto Akihara's "Snow Country", "The Tragic Beauty Style of "Snow Country", "A Look at Shimamura in "Snow Country" from the Background of Hiroto Akihara's Identity."

Some of the papers in it are quite reasonable. They are the same as some of the papers Akihara Yuto read in his previous life. They conducted an in-depth analysis of the work "Snow Country".

But there are also some papers, which are complete nonsense.

He even connected the tragic color in the works with his own experience as an orphan, and even thought that he had a tendency to commit suicide and be world-weary.

When seeing these remarks, Akihara Hiroto couldn't help raising his eyelids.

At this moment, the phone rang again, and before Akihara Yuto answered the phone, he heard a familiar name.

"Hi Akihara-sensei, I'm Yuichiro Yoshikawa..."

[Chapter 277.276 Sakura and Traditional Literature]

Yuichiro Yoshikawa?He actually called himself?

Hiroto Akihara was a little confused for a while.

But the other party is an elder after all, so Yuuto Akihara said politely: "Hello, Mr. Yoshikawa, what can I do?"

There was a coughing sound from the microphone, but it stopped quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Yuichiro Yoshikawa proposed an invitation: "Is this Saturday convenient?"

Akihara Hiroto considered it for a while, but agreed.

After all, Yuichiro Yoshikawa is a leading figure in the literary world, and whether he was recognized by the traditional literary circle before is also a part of his credit.

Due to emotion and reason, I should not refuse this invitation.

After the two agreed on the time and place, Yuichiro Yoshikawa took the initiative to end the call.

Soon it was Saturday afternoon, and Hiroto Akihara, dressed in formal attire, came to a high-end teahouse in Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

After reporting his name, he was taken to a tea room by a waiter.

Here, he met Yuichiro Yoshikawa.

The other party was sitting and drinking tea, and there was a middle-aged woman serving him beside him.

Unlike what he saw in news photos before, Hiroto Akihara found that Yuichiro Yoshikawa looked "older".

Not only are there many age spots on the face, but even the exposed skin is wrinkled and looks a little dark.

Hiroto Akihara stood on the tatami, bowed deeply and said hello.

After all, the other party is an "old senior" in the literary world. As a young writer, I still have to fulfill my responsibility in terms of etiquette.

"Don't be restrained, sit down."

Yoshikawa Yuichiro waved his hand, signaling Akihara Hiroto to be free.

However, his weak appearance made Akihara Hiroto worry about his health.

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and then finished it in a sitting posture.

"Mr. Qiuyuan, I invited you here this time mainly because I want to see what kind of person the author of "Snow Country" is."

Yuichiro Yoshikawa smiled with a wrinkled face.

"Secondly, I want to ask you a question."

"Please speak up."

"What do you think traditional Japanese literature is?"

Hiroto Akihara was silent for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

If he uses academic terms to define it, he can undoubtedly find many answers, but he can also see that the old man in front of him doesn't seem to want those cliche answers.

Yuichiro Yoshikawa smiled, motioned to the woman next to him to fill up their teacups, and said, "If there is no answer, I hope you can slowly understand it while writing."

"But for me, traditional literature is the ultimate beauty."

Akihara Yuu was puzzled, and asked in a doubtful tone: "Beautiful?"

Yuichiro Yoshikawa nodded and explained.

"Our life is fleeting, and many things are often out of control in the end. But traditional literature is different, it can retain this momentary beauty and turn it into an eternal beauty. "

"This is the way of literature I am pursuing!"

Hearing these words, Hiroto Akihara remembered the characteristics of neon literature he had learned in his previous life as a graduate student.

In the eyes of many neon celebrities, life is always fleeting, so life is like a cherry blossom, death is also gorgeous, and the ultimate beauty should be achieved in a limited life.

The worship of this idea is even to the point of "morbidity".

Taking "Chunqin Copy" as an example, it is written that a servant loves and worships the mistress, and puts the mistress on the lotus platform to worship.

When one day, the mistress was disfigured, the first thing the servant did after hearing about it was to stab his own eyes.

In this way, beauty will be preserved in his heart forever.

Regardless of whether it is "morbid" or not, Akihara Hiroto is still very respectful of Yoshikawa Yuichiro's persistence

Although I heard that the other party has a bad private life, but his insistence on the way of literature is absolutely incomparable.

However, Hiroto Akihara also became confused because of this.

Would such a person really suppress himself because he refused to be a teacher?

Yuichiro Yoshikawa took a sip of tea and asked, "Mr. Akihara, what do you think about the future of traditional literature?"

Hiroto Akihara hesitated when he heard this question.

In the current era, traditional literature has already been squeezed into a minority by popular literature represented by reasoning, and in the future, it will be further squeezed.

It can be said that the number of people who love traditional literature will only decrease until it becomes the plaything of a very small number of people.
