"Excuse me, あなたは火神の神ダレン? (Excuse me, are you the Fox God?)"
The strange atmosphere in the store was broken when two urban white-collar workers came forward to communicate with the group.
It was a month and a half ago that Lu Qingfeng caused a stir on the social media platforms here. Although there were no follow-up reports, most people did not continue to pay attention except for a small group of people who pushed it.
However, the photo of the Chinese boy looking for the fox mask in the TBS news report still remains in the memories of many people. It is difficult to recall it at ordinary times, but when the real person appears in front of them, it is quickly activated and remembered.
That's what happened with these two people.
Lu Qingfeng didn't understand Japanese, so he looked at Yamada Kumata beside him and asked curiously after the other party translated it.
"Master Fox God, are you talking about me?"
"Yes."
Yamada Kumata explained.
"When Mr. Lu was interviewed by Fuso TV, he wore a fox mask. After the news spread here, the young people here called you that because of your outstanding appearance."
Because Yang Xiuxiu told him about the situation here, he knew that he had suddenly become popular here, but he didn't know that he had such a nickname.
After all, Yang Xiuxiu doesn’t understand Japanese, and can’t see the situation on the social platforms here.
"Is that so? Mr. Yamada, please tell them to just call me Lu Qingfeng."
"Ok."
"Yes, Mr. Lu said you can just call him by his first name, Lu Qingfeng. He is a writer and is in Fusang to promote his upcoming new book. Please pay attention to him."
Kumata Yamada added some more content according to his own understanding.
"Ashasi."
The two female office workers in professional attire were more excited than expected.
"Can we take a photo, please?"
Lu Qingfeng agreed and took photos with both of them.
The two of them didn't argue any further and left politely.
After finishing our ramen, we headed to our next planned destination, Jimbocho.
This place is located in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. It has the largest bookstore street in Japan and even in the world, with more than 130 antique bookstores and millions of books of various types.
Chiyoda Ward, Minato Ward and Shibuya are adjacent to each other and belong to the core area of Tokyo, so they are not far away.
Still going by car.
"When I was in school, I studied classical literature and read a book called 'Sakuto Kitan'. It was written by a Japanese author named Nagai Kafu. At that time, Tokyo was still called Edo, and the book described the customs and people of Tokyo at that time."
"I've forgotten the specific content, but I do remember that when I was reading the book, I was wondering what the Edo described in the book was like."
“After actually coming here, although I can see that it is very prosperous, it feels like it lacks the atmosphere described in the book.”
The vehicle was driving on the avenue. Yang Xiuxiu, who was sitting in the back, looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly sighed.
"Tokyo may be the capital of Japan, but if you really want to experience Japanese culture, you should go to Kyoto."
Lu Qingfeng was also looking outside and smiled when he heard this.
Fuso actually does not have a capital in the clear sense, and legally speaking, Tokyo only has the concept of the metropolitan area.
This has something to do with Fuso history.
As we all know, Japan is the only modern country in the world that retains the imperial system, but in fact, since the Kamakura shogunate period, the emperor's power has been hollowed out and only has symbolic significance.
Especially in the Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate in Edo, which is today's Tokyo, although the emperor still lived in Kyoto.
But the actual political center was already in Edo.
Then there is the knowledge we can learn from history. In order to ensure its own rule, the Tokugawa shogunate closed the country to the outside world until the Kurokawa Incident occurred, when American General Matthew Perry brought four steamships to blast open the gates of Fuso.
A vigorous anti-shogunate movement was launched, and the last shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, was defeated and handed over control of the shogunate and the army.
A new government was established and reforms began, which became known as the Meiji Restoration.
At that time, Kyoto was plagued by a complex web of forces, and with the influence of conservatives, reforms could not proceed, so the leaders of the Meiji Restoration considered moving the capital.
It is said that Osaka was initially considered, but it was strongly opposed by people in Kyoto. Both cities are in the core of Kansai and the competition is fierce.
The reformists naturally turned their attention to Edo at that time.
Edo is located in Kanto, the largest plain in Fuso. The climate and geographical location of this small island country are extremely advantageous.
Coupled with the Tokugawa family's construction here for more than 300 years, the prosperity has surpassed Kansai.
From the official relocation of the capital to the final establishment of Edo as the actual capital, it took a long time and involved a lot of political struggles.
For various reasons, the history of Fuso was not changed by this capital re__cpLocation, but by the establishment of the capital.
The general meaning is that Kyoto and Tokyo have the same status.
For reference, it is probably similar to the two capitals system of the Ming Dynasty.
"Teacher Lu is right. Kyoto is a symbol of traditional Fusang culture and has preserved a lot of Japanese culture, while Tokyo is a modern city."
Yamada Kumata said.
"It's a pity that Mr. Lu didn't stay long, otherwise he could have taken you two to Kyoto to have a look."
"There'll be a chance next time."
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile.
After arriving at the destination, I got off the bus, walked along the street for a few steps, turned a corner, and saw bookstores on both sides of the road.
There are bookcases and shelves at the entrance, on which are placed various old books and magazines. When you enter here, you can easily smell the scent of old books.
Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up and he went over to take a look.
at the same time.
In a ramen restaurant in Miyako District, two female office workers took a photo with Lu Qingfeng and happily uploaded the photo to Twitter after they left.
[Lucky, I ran into a fox god from Fuso while out at noon. He was so gentle and beautiful. I'm completely fascinated by him. What should I do?!]
Japan has a population of 1.25 million, with a mobile Internet penetration rate of over 90%. Common social platforms such as Twitter and YouTube have more than 60 million users.
Tokyo's population is close to 40 million.
High population density also means that information spreads extremely quickly.
Within minutes of uploading the photo, the comments started to increase.
[Oh my god, such godlike beauty, where can I find such a beautiful boy? ]
[Suddenly, my past memories were activated. Isn't this the young musician who was praised by Mr. Ayanokouji Takaya?]
[I remember now, it was that incredibly popular Chinese boy. I still have screenshots on my phone. Is he this good-looking in real life?]
【Shake the world's face! 】
[Can anyone really look like this? Even seeing photos makes me feel like I'm dreaming of meeting my ideal type.]
