Chapter 48 second quarter

Then came Junichiro Tanizaki.His works are as follows. Taisho Ten Years, "The Story of an Unfortunate Mother", "The Story of A and B", "Only Because of Love" In the 11th year of Taisho, "Fallen", "A Guo and Wuping", "Honmoku Night Talk" Taisho Twelfth Year "Hail Mary", "People Without Love", "Between God and Man" Not many.I tried looking in the complete works, but couldn't find anything there either. I review articles related to Akutagawa.There is an article "Painful People", which was published in the September issue of the second year of the Showa era of "The Spring and Autumn Period of Literature and Art".

"Think about the established facts after the fact, and often it suddenly dawns on you. Ah! That's the case, so I blamed myself for not discovering it sooner, but it is irreversible now. My friend Akutagawa-kun's recent actions, now I think about it early. There are many unusual signs, but I never dreamed that he would have such a tragic death consciousness. I should have comforted him more gently, but I thought I had found a good object of argument, and started a meaningless dispute with him. I have no friend morality, and I really don't know how to apologize to my old friend."

This passage refers to the debate between Akutagawa and Tanizaki that Mr. Yuanzi also mentioned.At that time, Akutagawa argued that a novel without a "story" plot is the purest novel, but Tanizaki strongly refuted it. Next, Tanizaki described that Akutagawa has become inexplicably "kind" recently, not only in his attitude, but also in giving him books.Including "Improvisational Poets" in 2 volumes, 8 volumes, "The Chivalrous Woman Keromba" in English translation, and "French Indian Buddha Statue Collection". Tanizaki believes that after the controversy, Akutagawa "tried to soften my edge a little" before showing his favor.As a result, Tanizaki "deliberately played against the tune" but became "more aggressive".Just then he received bad news.In retrospect, I realized that it was a relic presented by Akutagawa, and Tanizaki regretted it very much.

"However, in the end, if you may call me justification, Akutagawa-kun does have this kind of weakness that is easily misunderstood." "Akutagawa-kun and I", which was published in "Reform" in the same month, described his relationship with this junior of "New Trends of Thought".They all grew up in the old streets of Tokyo, and they even worship the same temple at home.This level of coincidence is not surprising, at most, it will only feel "that's it".However, the coincidence reached the point below, and one couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"And the day of July 24th, when Akutagawa-kun passed away, happens to be my birthday too." It was so coincidental that it seemed like a prank by God. Shakespeare and Cervantes are said to have died on the same day and month of the same year.It turns out that in this world, any coincidence is possible.Not surprising when you think about it.However, this line of text hurts my heart inexplicably. People and people are at the mercy of the unknown.Human beings love, respect, envy, contempt, despair, and sorrow just because they have hearts.I also talked about it with Mr. Yuan Zi before. This time I checked the information, which made me deeply feel the incredible interaction between people.
