I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 46 Taoyuan Township, Late Arrival
The moment the trendy propaganda started, Wenyi Chunqiu followed closely with its own slogan.

They call this book a masterpiece of our time.

This book tells the story of a female college student pursuing her ideal in this decadent era.

I have always been living at my own pace, but suddenly I am about to face an extremely harsh employment environment.

Because I like comics, why don't I become an editor of a comic magazine.

But the reality gave a huge slap in the face, interviews that have always failed, a family full of complaints, and falling in love with a calligrapher who is quite different from her own age...

How to live in the future.

Wenyi Chunqiu asked this question to all the young people who were hesitant and confused.

In fact, throughout the long history, what writers like to do is to throw out a problem, fabricate a protagonist, write a story, and tell everyone who reads that there is such a problem at present.

They don't solve these problems.

Because solving these social problems is what politicians or revolutionaries should do.

Their function is empathy, telling everyone with literature that you are not alone.

What Wenyi Chunqiu did is nothing more than expressing that he is standing with this group of hesitant people and going through any difficulties together.

This kind of work that cheats to find a psychological gap and quickly close the relationship is also the confidence that Wenyi Chunqiu dares to use as the money for the fight.

The weather also seems to be extra face-saving.

When the two periodicals kicked off the prologue, the originally gloomy sky began to release the sun.

This gave people who were unwilling to travel because of the bad weather a chance to buy books.

There are long queues at the entrances of major bookstores, which gives those less popular books a chance to be exposed because of waiting in line.

"Snow Country" and "Female College Student's Struggle for Job Hunting" are like the Chu River and Han Dynasty, dividing the bookstore into two halves.

The books on the shelves kept being taken down, and then the shop assistants kept replenishing them.

……

"What I want to say is that beauty can't solve anything; it's better to see how to work hard in this era to be wonderful."

"If we simply emphasize beauty while ignoring reality, this must be like a castle in the air and cannot be stabilized."

"But the reality is already like this, soaked in this kind of bastard life all day, why do you want to watch the same experience?"

"I have also experienced things like being rejected for a job application. Can it be solved by reading a book? Let those stupid politicians solve this kind of thing.

Might as well find some spiritual comfort. "

"But the price of this book far exceeds the sum of all journals. There is no need to choose such an expensive price."

"The articles on journals are fragmented after all. I think if you can read them all in one go, then it must be the best."

The two books that were first released were basically evenly split.

However, it is too early to decide the outcome through the very beginning.

The editors of the two major journals have long lost their sense of normalcy, and in fact, this time is the most difficult time.

"Don't you feel nervous, Oshima-sensei?"

Seeing Kazuya Oshima working as usual, without any anxious look on his face, some people felt very curious.

This is the book in Kazuya's hand, and it is also handled by him.

Did you lose confidence in the re-release of this integrated version or did you say that you have the chance to win?
"If it were you, which one would you choose?"

Oshima Kazu also asked back.

"It looks like a collision between reality and fiction."

"Wenyichunqiu seems to want to take down the group of young people."

"There are a lot of college students who can't find a job these days. Maybe there will be a kind of empathy."

Oshima Kazuya also nodded: "Yes, this kind of empathy is actually more inclined for me to fight with you."

"But Snow Country is different." He also put down the water glass in his hand, patted the samples on the table: "We will not drag them to fight together.

I think the existence of Snow Country means that since the reality is so bad, why don't we forget it first? "

"Is it an escape?" an editor suddenly asked.

But it was turned down by another one.

"If it were Ni, life would be frustrating and full of temper.

At this time, someone pulls you and tells you that everyone is the same, we have to struggle and struggle, and the struggle will surely succeed.

But there is still a person by your side, let you forget the pain for a short time, although it is futile to wake up, but after all, you have seen the real beauty.

Maybe Snow Country just created a Taoyuan Township, which can make them escape from reality for a while. "

"Escaping won't solve the problem." Kazuya Oshima said calmly, "But it can relieve the pain."

After hearing Kazuya's words, everyone fell into silence.

Isn't it a bit cheating to fight like this?

Most of the culture in the Neon people's bones seems to be mourning...

Under such mourning, what they seem to prefer to do is to escape.

The editors of Wenyichunqiu were very happy to see that this book has stepped out of the momentum that a bestseller should have.

Even if it is strongly recommended by several literature professors, it does not seem to be popular.

……

Within a few days, snowflakes fell flutteringly again.

And at this time, Snow Country was also late among these snowflakes.

Under the cover of night, all the blood and passion were splashed with cold water.

During the day, like that female college student, after being beaten mercilessly by the society, they returned home exhausted.

I began to fear the phenomenon described in that book, and the characters in the book could usher in a turning point, but what about myself?
In this way, in this steel forest, for the car, house, etc., to withstand the abuse of the boss, to support the responsibility of earning money to support the family, I want to resign and leave this place again and again, but after resigning, what should I do?
Confused and unknown, like a rag soaked in water, covered his face indiscriminately, making it impossible to breathe.

All groveling is nothing more than bowing to one's own desires.

Money, money, money, after all.

Standing up from the bed in numbness every day, walking to that side of the workstation with the pressure of pain and nausea, sometimes even numb and cold limbs, but holding on to a breath.

……

Since it is said that this book constructs a Taoyuan Township...

So what is it?

Countless people try to find their own comfort in literature, even if it is just a sentence or two of heart-warming copywriting...

Then there is a Taoyuan Township that belongs to this era, and it slowly kicks off among the lights and candles.
