In 2007, Ang Lee's "Color Ring" was released, and Liang Chaowei won the third Golden Horse Award for Best Actor in his life with the role of "Mr. Yi".
According to media evaluation, Liang Chaowei is extremely talented, and few people in the entire entertainment circle can match. He said he just liked to read.
He read all the books of the Japanese god-level writer Yukio Mishima.

Some people say that the oppressive darkness of Mr. Yi is the same as the violent and feminine beauty of Yukio Mishima's pen.
Liang Chaowei also praised, "Yukio Mishima has written human nature and artistic conception very well. ”
As one of the ceilings of Japanese literature, Yukio Mishima has 10 films that have been adapted into films, 36 have been put on the stage, and 7 have won various literary awards, making him a veritable prolific writer.
His position in the Japanese literary world is equivalent to that of Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun in China.
Regrettably, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times, but eventually lost it. And the literary titan Yasunari Kawabata said:
"The Nobel Prize I won should go to Mishima, a talented writer like him, who has rarely met one in two or three hundred years."

Also praised by Donald King, who is the most talented writer in the world.
Mishima is so special. His words have shocked countless readers.
Some people say that he was impressed by his bloody sense of art, "[He] is one of the most talented Japanese people I've ever read." Some people lamented that he was fierce and sensitive, grand and delicate, mature and naïve.
In Mishima's short life, the understanding and pursuit of aesthetics have reached rare heights.
He even advocated pluralistic beauty more than many modern people. In his eyes, true beauty is never a cookie-cutter good-looking skin bag, but can also be gentle, complex, cool, intense, and even dangerous.
Yukio Mishima
He once wrote a widely circulated sentence that attacked many people's narrow understanding of beauty:
When you see a rose, you say beautiful, and when you see a snake, you say disgusting.
You don't know this world, roses and snakes are close friends, and at night, they transform into each other, and the snake's cheeks are bright red, and the rose scales are shining.
You see the rabbit and say it's cute, and when you see the lion, you say it's terrible.
You don't know how stormy nights, how they bleed, how they fall in love.
On Douban reading, you can see the worship of his aesthetics everywhere:
"It's so beautiful that I can't wait to recite the whole paragraph."
"Mishima's aesthetics are pervasive and far-reaching."
"If dew is like electricity, like a dream bubble, it should be viewed as such."
……
Japanese national treasure artist Tadanori Yokoo is also a big fan of Mishima.
He once said that Mishima has been a practitioner of aesthetics all his life. Whether it's his rigorous exercise, perfecting his body like Apollo' or his stories, the words tremble and are breathtakingly beautiful.
"Not only what the eyes see, but also the violent beauty that mobilizes all the senses of your body and makes the cells of your whole body surging with it."
If you've never known what kind of "beauty crit" reading brings, Shogun recommends that you must read this set of "Violent Beauty: The Collection of Yukio Mishima".

Why Mishima is in the Japanese literary world
Such a lofty status?
Mo Yan said that he was a student of literature and a man who died for literature.
Japanese literary researcher Kanichi Chiba even called him one of the four great writers of the 20th century, along with Proust, author of "Remembrance of The Lost Years", Joyce, author of "Ulysses", and Thomas Mann, author of "John and His Brothers".
Regarding the formation of Mishima's unique aesthetic style, we must start from his origin.
He was born into a declining aristocratic family in Japan, and his grandfather was originally a middle and lower class who had lost his land, and later he was able to marry the descendants of the royal family because he entered the political arena. That is, Mishima's grandmother, Nagai Natsu.
Stills from "Spring Snow"
When Mishima was very young, he was brought up by his grandmother. Receiving an aristocratic education from an early age, he followed his grandmother to a song and dance workshop to watch performances.
His frail youth, combined with keen self-observation and the influence of his grandmother, made him show a great talent for writing at an early age.
Intuition is amazing, imagination is rich, and metaphors are not conventional. Often, in just a few lines, a long series of obscure and tortuous psychological trajectories can be described.
Yukio Mishima wrote 21 novels, more than 80 short stories, 33 plays, and a large number of essays during his lifetime. As one of the masters of post-war Japanese literature, Mishima was not only a novelist, but also a playwright, journalist, filmmaker, and film actor.
Not only does he have a high reputation in the Japanese literary circles, but he is also highly evaluated in the Western world, and some people even call him "Hemingway of Japan" and "Da Vinci of Japan".
It can be said that whether we discuss Japanese literature or aesthetic history, we cannot avoid the name Yukio Mishima.
Rare and fearless of violent beauty
It has already penetrated into the soul of each of his works
Readers who are familiar with Mishima will surely find that Mishima is a writer with a very rich connotation, who not only reached the peak in the depth of thought and aesthetics, but also had the essence of both The East and the West in the literary spirit - Japanese classical literature and ancient Greek spirit.
Therefore, his works can often unconsciously bring you an unprecedented shocking sensory experience.
For example, he described the beauty of women in "Spring Snow":
In Qing Xian's eyes, the beautiful white of the spacious skirt, like the snow on the top of the mountain covered by fluttering clouds, appeared in front of his eyes. It was the first time in his life that he had discovered the dazzlingly elegant nature of a woman's beauty. ”
He described youth this way:
"The so-called youth is the state of not getting something, that is, the state of longing, the state of longing, and the state of possibility. They show the vast wilderness and fear of life, and although they still have nothing, they can occasionally have a feeling of having everything in their fantasies. ”
He interpreted "happiness" this way:
"In order to be happy in life, we must love the daily chores. The brilliance of the clouds, the swaying of the bamboo, the chirping of the flocks, the faces of pedestrians. You need to taste the endless nectar from the daily chores. ”
Even after more than half a century, it is very valuable.
Mishima's world is like adding a layer of Japanese style to real life, with cool and colorful ins filters.
Read his words,
You can not only see the picture in front of you, but also hear the sound of wind, rain, flowers falling and scattering clouds, and you can smell the salty sea water and the fragrance of flowers in the ice and snow.
This is also why everyone who has read Mishima has been immersed in it for a long time, as if they have lived with the protagonist of the story once. If you want to have a refreshing reading experience, Mishima's works will not disappoint you.
