I'm sorry I was born a man. This famous saying comes from Osamu Dazai, the representative writer of Japanese postwar "rogue" literature, from which we can feel the helplessness and decadent atmosphere of life. If you want to have a deeper understanding of Osamu Dazai's works, you must calm down and study them carefully.

Because starting from Osamu Dazai's works alone, it can be said that there are many things that are a little difficult for ordinary readers to understand, which needs to be combined with Osamu Dazai's life experience. For example, The Flag Bearer of the 20th Century, published by Kyushu Publishing House, collected five classic short stories by Osamu Dazai and showed the characteristics of Osamu Dazai's works.

If nothing else, in the opening novel Memory, we can see that the protagonist in the author's novel describes his family and acquaintances from the first perspective. But interestingly, the objects described are basically female characters, and the memory objects described in the book are mainly around menstruation, but they, on the contrary, have "no impression at all" on their parents. From the novel, we can see that the protagonist's aunt has exerted a great influence during her growth to five or six years old. Although her family is a big family: "there are great-grandmothers, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, three brothers, four sisters, a younger brother and four daughters of an aunt", the protagonist's personality has also begun to change because of her long-term growth in the atmosphere dominated by aunts and women. The writing of this article is basically based on documentary words. If it is only regarded as a novel, it is only an imaginary memoir. But if we combine the content of this article with the author's life, we will find that the protagonist of this book is basically the prototype of the author, and the author's family growth atmosphere is exactly the same as that described in Memories.

In this paper, we can find that the author basically holds a special attitude towards the description of women, but in fact, we can feel that Zuo's personality tends to be a little feminine, which can also explain why the author's brushwork and personality tend to be fragile. For example, in the classic "The Flag Bearer of the Twentieth Century", the author used twelve songs (personally understood as twelve scenes) to create a hero who struggled with life but suffered various unfortunate blows, which also reflected the author. Among them, we can feel the hardships and hardships of life through the author's emotional words. I believe that it is easy for readers who have suffered major setbacks to re-read this novel. But if this article is not only about decadence and negative emotions, we will find that the protagonist is still working hard even though he is very, very painful, which is more inspirational than a simple inspirational story and will not cause resentment.

Of course, on the whole, the opinions revealed by the author in these stories are controversial, but as Japanese literary critic Keno Ono commented: "Whether you like Osamu Dazai or hate him, whether you affirm him or deny him, Osamu Dazai's works always have an incredible magic. For a long time to come, the vivid descriptions in Taizai's works will push the reader's soul and make people unable to escape. " I hope that through the five stories in this book, you can also look directly at your soul.
