preface
This book reminds me of the movie “Summer in the River”, so I bought it after seeing the title. After reading it, I found it was a good book. At the same time, the book is not really much.
In addition, the author also needless to say, the source of the Akutagawa Prize is Ryunosuke. If you don’t know him, you can search him.

Recommended language
Subway reading, no need to chew the words, the story of the river Boy is a bit like wonderland. The author’s simple but colorful prose will take you to another world.
Good excerpt:
Although I was born in modern times, I have accomplished nothing but a life that seems like a dream day and night
The above paragraph is the most memorable sentence in the whole collection. I believe that I can understand the meaning of reading it several times. What is the author waiting for here, waiting for the crazy country to stop? Can the time of waiting for peace come? Waiting for a savior to keep the world the author saw. None of this is known.
Contents summary
What is the Akutagawa Prize?
The full name of The Akutagawa Award is ayumi Himi 用 人 的 一 个 人 情 报 名 人 通 过 的 一 个 人 情 报 名. It was established in 1936 by Hiroshi Kikuchi, founder of the Japanese popular magazine Bungei Chunchu, in memory of his friend Ryunosuke Akutagawa. The Naoki Prize was also established in the same year. The akutagawa Prize is awarded to the best short works of pure literature published in magazines by shinshin writers.
What is the river boy in the short story?
- Not afraid to kill each other in pursuit of the opposite sex. Female kappa boys will do anything to chase male kappa boys
There’s a lot of irony about this passage in the book
- To be hurt by words will be vulnerable to death
- The violent species of the mob
And a slavish species that will riot if provoked
- Birth can be chosen by oneself, only by oneself consent to be born. No river child can interfere with a river child’s right to choose to be born
It’s a strange setting. If only people could choose where they were born
This part of the content of various visible satire makes people feel funny and very helpless. The author lived in the era of Japanese imperialism, and the author used all his language to satirical a pathological society in Japan at that time.
The end of letter
The most interesting sentence in this chapter is the last one. (a quote from a good quote)
Author had early to school due to been to China tourism, one of the short story of the book for the Chinese landscape and local conditions and customs has a very detailed and accurate description, it is hard to imagine that this is from the hand of a Japanese, the author in this short self-mockery is a nothing but waiting for the achievement or good thing happen in the body. It’s a fascinating read, as if every reader is waiting for a miracle on the bridge.
Christ in Nanjing
This chapter gives me the feeling of a deluded woman waiting for redemption. So what does he map?
The weak cannot resist the strong and can only numb themselves with the illusory superiority propagated by morality and religion (such as praise for filial piety and kindness). From this point of view, morality and religion are not only used by the strong, but also to “protect” the weak, otherwise anger and resistance would not even survive.
Obviously, this has implications for China at the time.
conclusion
Casual reading, this book is more to enjoy the pleasure of the words themselves.
