I am neither lucky nor unlucky right now - Dazai Osamu

When it comes to Osamu Dazai, many people will think of his last work, "Disqualified in the World". This work has been controversial. Some people applauded it, while others called it a scumbag. But it is also regarded as a model by many literary and artistic young people. Even in recent years, his famous saying "I'm sorry for being a human being" has been deeply loved by young people. It can be seen on clothing, school bags, and accessories. It shows how much everyone loves it. The original sentence refers to "losing the qualifications to be a human being". It first appeared in the "Suicide Note" written by Jutaro Terauchi (a poet in the early Showa era. It is said that the poet was very angry when his poems were stolen, saying "life has been stolen"). It was later borrowed by Osamu Dazai as a subtitle in the short story "The Standard Bearer of the Twentieth Century".

Osamu Dazai’s real name is Shuji Tsushima. He was born into a prominent family in Jinyu Village, Aomori Prefecture. His father was a member of the parliament and his family’s business also involves banks, railways, etc. His mother was frail and sick, and he grew up under the care of his nanny and aunt. As the sixth child at home, he was melancholy and taciturn, and was not well-liked by his family. In "Disqualified from the World", the author uses the character of Ye Zang to get a glimpse of his family background and life style. He is melancholy, taciturn, world-weary and decadent, and this enigmatic aura also attracts a large number of women to be fascinated by him.

? Osamu Dazai was born just after the end of World War II. At that time, Japan, as a defeated country, was in a difficult situation and ruins were everywhere. How could people care about the spiritual realm in this situation? At that time, the Emperor of Japan also issued the "Declaration of the World" due to the request of the United States, denying his status as a "god" by the people and announcing that he was just an ordinary person. At that time, the scene of the humiliating trial of Japanese officers as prisoners was also reported by a large number of media. The Japanese officers were completely disgraced. The initial call for victory suddenly became the sigh of the people. The people lost trust in the state, leading to the demise of the samurai class. In the past, people were humbled by the samurai class. The Japanese people who were accustomed to this fixed pattern could not adapt to it for a while. The entire society had no fixed order and fell into panic, and the "rogue faction" was born. As a sustenance for people's spiritual emptiness. Among them, Dazai Osamu is the main representative.

It was during this period that Osamu Dazai created many works, more than 140 of them. Some people analyze that Dazai Osamu's works can be divided into three stages.

Early works: decadent rebellion (1933-1977)

Mid-term works: embodying the spirit of rebirth (1938-1945)

Later works: expressing the consciousness of destruction and An uncompromising spirit

He begged for death many times in his life, wandering on the edge of despair and lust, drinking, smoking, and becoming addicted to drugs. Women fell for him, and a large number of fans cheered him on. Cheer. A large number of literati even joked that Osamu Dazai sought death just to find themes for literary creation. They guessed each other whether he would really die next time.

? The 21-year-old Dazai Osamu developed a world-weary complex because his studies were neglected and his family no longer provided him with money. He felt in a trance that he was deep in hell. As Sartre said, "Hell is other people." He wanted to die like his idol Ryunosuke Akutagawa. This time he just happened to hook up with the waitress in the tavern. He had received little care from his mother when he was a child. To put it mildly, he was a coward. Even if he died, he would hold a woman's hand and fall. However, the woman died, and he survived because the dosage of sleeping pills was insufficient. When the woman was about to be washed away by the waves, he heard another man's name. This experience made Osamu Dazai once again have an incredible feeling for women as creatures. Even though he did not die in the end, no one understood him and he lived like a buffoon.

? "But I feel that I have been invisible in the world since I was born, so whenever I meet the same kind of people who are pointed out by everyone, I will treat them gently. My gentle heart, even myself We are all intoxicated. "I often feel that each of us is like Osamu Dazai. He lives too clearly and too purely. How many people have never felt the hardship of human beings since they were born? If you don't feel it, you are either too stupid or you are living too happily. Some people said that Osamu Dazai at that time was famous and rich, so why would he choose to die? And there are many women who support it.

This is precisely explained by "human beings have different joys and sorrows". Osamu Dazai was originally a wealthy young man with no worries about material things, but his spiritual realm was devastated. He didn’t know how to talk to others. He was sad and in pain. Although he was always accompanied by beautiful women and wine, his heart was empty and lonely like a Broken china doll. You have a delicate appearance, but this also means that people approach you just for this appearance. He lived too pure a life and had a sensitive heart. He was like a pure child of Jesus who was willing to take responsibility for people's sins even in his infancy. He has an insight into the way people live in the world, and is deeply disgusted by this evil perfunctory greeting. He has lost his heart for the empty society. He does not know how to face those who ridicule him. Yes he is cowardly, but he is also honest. He hates these duplicitous urban villains deeply, and feels speechless about the "love" unique to women (although he still relies on women to embolden him to commit suicide). People laughed at his cowardice, but they didn't know how deeply he saw the world. He was a "child" who played a buffoon all his life. No one can understand his lonely sadness. Lu Xun once commented on him: "The mysophobia of spirit makes people like Osamu Dazai unable to tolerate any harm. He lives in his own life, humble and free. He wants to break something but has no direction. His pain lies in his intention "Looking at the dark world"

But you have to say that he is a very sad person. (Although I dislike this word very much) In "Autumn Wind" he wrote about a conversation between his female companion K and him. Dislike of the middle class "I feel bad. Loneliness, depression, and gratitude are all the hobbies of the middle class. They are self-righteous and live only on face." "It seems difficult for us to have the happiness of ordinary people." Human nature is hypocritical Ugly mouths pop up everywhere. No one tells us how to become a "person". You have to explore silently on your own, occasionally touching the light, occasionally touching the darkness, occasionally touching the tenderness, and occasionally touching the ugliness. Jesus will not tell you, Our Lady will not tell you, and Buddha will not tell you. You follow the footsteps of your predecessors and feel something is wrong. You don't want to be that kind of person. That kind of hypocritical liar.

Osamu Dazai is exactly the kind of person who has embarked on the opposite direction. His mental mysophobia drove him to destruction. Only death can stop him from suffering. In "Beautiful Man and Cigarette" he wrote, "Angels fly through the sky, obeying God's will and hiding their wings, and fall to every corner of the world like a parachute. I landed in the snowfields of the North, and you landed on the mandarin oranges of the South. Tian, ??and this group of teenagers landed in Ueno Park. The difference between us is just this. Teenagers, no matter how many years you spend in the future, please don’t mind your appearance, don’t smoke cigarettes, and don’t drink unless it’s a holiday. . When you grow up, please take more care of those girls who are introverted and don’t like heavy makeup.” This passage is full of warmth, pleading and hope for future generations. Let me jump out from Dazai Osamu’s vocabulary of “mourning”.

Your sorrow and loneliness that are not understood by others can be understood in Dazai Osamu's literature. He washes away our guilt and no one can replace it.
