Tokyo Literary Master: Starting from Keigo Higashino

Twenty years later, Keigo Higashino spoke of Hiko Kobayashi in his speech accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature. "Tokyo in 1998. It was a bad era, with financial crises, bank failures, and frequent social problems. "Confusion", "powerlessness" and "pain" are written everywhere. It was a golden age, with the rise of anime subculture, the Internet, and endless literary and artistic works. In the painful soil, Kobayashi Yan created prosperous literary flowers. "Confession", "The Grudge", "The White Tower", "Naoki Hansawa", "A Family of Thieves", "The Life of the Disliked Matsuko"... Kobayashi Yan is the mirror of this era! Kobayashi Hiko is the emperor of Heisei era novels! Kobayashi Yan is the undisputed literary giant of this era! " ... The audience burst into applause, but a reporter asked: "Teacher Higashino, is this the reason why Teacher Hiko Kobayashi is unwilling to accept the Nobel Prize for Literature?" Keigo Higashino's face was full of embarrassment: "Kobayashi Hiko has his own affairs." The reporter sharply asked: "Is dating Yui Aragaki, an actress who is a teenager younger than me, more important than receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature?"
