Chapter 704: Bullying the soft and fearing the hard
Masayoshi Kishimoto closed the driver’s window and then started the car. With both hands on the steering wheel, he slowly backed out for a distance before hitting a right steering wheel and starting to drive away from the school building.
Sakai Meiling looked back and surprisingly found that Suzuki Shinsuke was still standing in the same place is a deep ninety degree bow to apologize and send off each other. She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Bullying.”
“He’s not a bully. In my opinion, he is genuinely in love with you. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so impulsive. A man is only worth fighting for two things.
One is to fight for the country, and the other is to fight for a woman. Going from the animal instinct to do a visual analysis, the former move is to defend and fight for territory, survival space.
The latter is for the right to have sex and the mating right to reproduce offspring.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without haste as he drove the car forward.
Sakai Mirei leaned her back against the back of the comfortable seat and looked sideways at him, “Is that so?”
“The Goncourt Literature Prize, which is the highest literary award for French-language works. Romain Gary is the only writer in the history of the Prix Goncourt to win twice (once under his real name and once under a pen name).
His mother raised him that way. In fact, many people are interested in Romain Gary not because of his literary contributions, but because of his legend.
Originally named Roman Kashev, Roman Gary was of Russian-Jewish descent and spent his childhood in Russia and Poland before moving to France in 1926.
He went to London to join Charles de Gaulle during the Second World War and joined the ‘Free French’ Air Force, fighting in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, where he was awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Medal of Liberation, which represents France’s highest military honor.
For twenty years after the war he worked in the diplomatic service, serving as Consul General of France in Los Angeles. Romain Gary made a name for himself in 1945 with the publication of his debut novel, An Education in Europe.
He won the Prix Goncourt in 1956 for his novella The Roots of Nature and in 1975 for his novella So Much Life, but it was the publication of his autobiographical novella The Promise of Childhood in 1960 that brought him international fame.
Romain Gary’s mother was an unapologetic tiger mom, very strict with him from an early age, and never spared any money on investing in her son’s education.
Romain Gary has fulfilled his mother’s expectations of him since he was a child, becoming a writer, an ambassador, and marrying an actress.
At one point, Roman Gary’s mother even wanted him to go to Berlin, Germany, to assassinate Hitler. What finally made her change her mind was the fear of losing her only child.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke eloquently.
Sakai Mirei had little interest in Roman Gary’s legendary life. Even if she was listening intently, it was only because it was being told from Masayoshi Kishimoto’s mouth.
“Brother Justice, if you like literature so much, then you should be motivated to become a writer, not an investor.” Sakai Meiling pursed her lips and said.
“In my last life, when I was reborn in Japan, I was not only a writer, but also a great writer. I even won the Nobel Prize for Literature twice, becoming the only writer in the history of the Nobel Prize for Literature to win the award twice.
Just like Romain Gary, the first time I used my real name and the other time I used a pen name. In my previous life, my real name was Yasunari Kawabata, and my pen name was Kenzaburo Oe.” Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but laugh as he said.
“I’m talking seriously with you.” Sakai Mirei said as she looked at his disbelieving demeanor.
“Just because you like it, doesn’t mean you have to. You see, when you become a police officer, is it really all about defending justice, eliminating evil and promoting good? Not really!
The main thing they do is not for a stable job, stable income, and a fairly good social status.
There are many people who go for the prestige and legitimization of beating people up. Even the police laugh at themselves, they’re just a bunch of hooligans with legal licenses.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.
“You’re completely and utterly stealing concepts.” Sakai Mirei retorted.
“Although writers are able to see the nature of society and human nature clearly, they are powerless to change a single thing. They can’t change much of the reality at all, except for their so-called disappointment, pain and outcry.
Dazaiji’s despair about human beings and human nature is the reason why he wrote the famous line, “I am sorry for being born as a human being,” in “Human Failure”. He himself was obsessed with suicide.
Besides him, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Yasunari Kawabata, and Yukio Mishima all chose to end their lives by suicide. Investors are able to use the power of money to change reality.
My investment in the online gaming industry has not only brought me huge profits, but has also changed the way ordinary people socialize.
In real life, an unconfident, insistent little man can be transformed into a confident, decisive big man in an online game.
A game guild, less than a dozen people, more can be hundreds of thousands of people. The president of the guild may not be the representative of the highest force, but it is also the object of trust.
I believe that this kind of pleasure can bring to the ordinary people is also unprecedented. In addition to this, the way of leisure and entertainment has also brought a certain degree of change to ordinary people.
Some people in real life are natural misfits or have social phobia. They feel best when they are alone.
It’s nice to drink happy water, play online games, eat instant noodles, and be able to live entirely in their favorite virtual world.
Not everyone can be a strong and successful person in real life. The vast majority of people are just ordinary people.
It’s not unusual for them to lose their courage and faith when they encounter big setbacks and difficulties. Escaping is shameful, but useful.” Justice Kishimoto said slowly.
“You’re obviously being sophomoric. I am definitely not endorsing this kind of viewpoint of yours.” Sakai Meiling disagreed.
“Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple, said that to live is to change the world. The technological electronic products introduced by Apple are indeed changing the existing world, as well as people’s lifestyles and habits to a certain extent.
However, if Steve Jobs hadn’t invested in Apple, his concepts and ideas would have been better. No matter how good his concepts and ideas were, they would have been no more than water without a source, no more than wood without a foundation.
The real power source that can change this world is still money. Money is power. The more money there is, then the more power there is.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a serious manner.
Sakai Meiling’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her smile widened as she said, “In terms of the perception of money, I have the highest degree of compatibility with your philosophy.”
