The next day, Japan.
Major newsstands and bookstores sell this issue's various newspapers and literary journals.
Yuki Musashi, a Japanese office worker who is about to catch the train to work, is a very traditional literature lover.
He doesn't like reading comics that only children read, and prefers traditional literary magazines like "Xinchao" and "Gunzo".
On it, he could see some articles that would enlighten his thoughts.
Today, as usual, while waiting for the tram, he browsed the latest issue of "New Wave" and other literary magazines from the newsstand next to him.
"Huh? This article, "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming," is so well written!
Such a beautiful scene and hopeful writing, every word is filled with praise and hope for life. "
As soon as Musashi Yumu saw the article "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", he read it several times very "greedily".
Then he couldn't wait to turn the pages, because when he looked at the table of contents just now, he knew that there were two more works by Haizi, the author of "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming".
One is "A Generation" and the other is "Scars".
“The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to look for light.”
When reading this line of poetry, Musashi Yuki immediately felt as if his whole being was sublimated.
"Wonderful! So wonderful. This poem, although only one sentence, expresses a feeling that I can't explain.
This feeling is like a seed buried in the soil. After countless days and nights of suppression and hard work, it finally breaks through the soil and sees the wonderful and bright world outside with new green buds. The feeling at that moment..."
Just this one sentence from "A Generation" made Musashi Yuki stand there in a daze for almost ten minutes, his eyes full of spirit yet slightly dull, motionless.
Until the newsstand owner, Hisato Ishita, called out to him, "Sir! Sir! Sir, what's wrong with you? The tram just passed by."
"Ah? Did the train just pass? Sorry. I was just reading this poem and was really engrossed in it.
I thought about a lot of things, this poem is really well written.
Oh, by the way, there is another article by this author later. I bought this copy of New Trend and will read it on the train later..."
Musashi Yuki enthusiastically took out money and bought the Shincho magazine, and said to the newsstand owner: "Boss, if someone comes to buy a magazine next time, you must recommend Shincho to him.
It is "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" and "A Generation" by the author Haizi above, which are very good. "
After saying that, Musashi Yuuki saw the next train slowly coming into the station, so he quickly took the "Shincho" and squeezed on.
The owner of the newsstand, Hisato Inoshita, was a little puzzled. He confirmed again and again that the magazine that Musashi Yuki had just taken was indeed "Shincho".
He was extremely puzzled and asked: "That's not right! A lady gave me a similar recommendation before, but the two works by Haizi she mentioned were both published in Qunxiang?"
As he spoke, the boss, Hisato Jingxia, with a very serious attitude, flipped through the latest issue of "Group Portrait", and sure enough, he saw the works of the author Haizi in the table of contents.
Page eight: "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" by Haizi, page nine: "A Generation" by Haizi, page ten: "Scars" by Haizi.
The boss also took a breath. It is unlikely that a nationally famous and authoritative literary magazine like "Qun Xiang" would publish multiple works by a certain author in the same issue.
Generally, one article is published in each issue, and then another article is published in the next issue. This is the rule for balanced publication, and it also avoids some writers dominating the space for a long time.
The boss, who has been selling various journals and magazines for many years, knows too well the unspoken rules of publishing these literary magazines.
However……
This author named Haizi was able to make "Qun Xiang" break this rule and publish three works just for him.
This is really... unprecedented!
The boss was very curious, what kind of poems did Haizi write? Are they really that good?
When he opened it, Jiu Ren, who had been in the well for a long time, was also stunned.
"Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" was okay. At that time, Japan's economy was spiraling upward, and there were many new-style poets who wrote poems with hope and beautiful meanings that were very moving and charming.
Although it is still far inferior to "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", people who have been underground for a long time have read a lot of poems of this kind and are not surprised by them.
However, poetry works like "A Generation" that shine a light in the darkness can touch people's hearts directly.
"Great! It's so well written. No wonder two customers recommended Haizi's poems to me just now."
When the boss, Jixia Jiuren, was sighing, another customer put down money to buy a copy of "Literary World" and said to him:
"Boss! Can you recommend the magazine "Literary World" today? The new issue has published the works of a very great poet.
The works "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" and "A Generation" written by this poet named Haizi are really excellent and worth reading."
"Wait! Customer, you...did you say it wrong? Haizi's "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" and "A Generation" were clearly published in the "Group Portrait" magazine.
Why do you insist on saying it's in Literary World?"
The boss, Jingxia Jiuren, was even more confused. He immediately handed him the "Qun Xiang" magazine he had just been reading, pointed to the title of Haizi's works in the catalog, and said to him.
