Mei Xin Nanji (19 13 ~ 1943) is a famous Japanese writer of children's literature. His real name is Masahachi Watanabe. Mei Xin is her mother's surname. Born in Sada-CHO, Zhiduo Prefecture, Aichi Prefecture. From the second day of junior high school, I became interested in literature, widely read fairy tales, nursery rhymes, poems and novels, and founded a fan magazine Orion with my senior classmates. 193 1 After graduating from high school, I worked as a substitute teacher in primary school and contributed to children's magazine Hong Niao. The novels Founder and Ah Hei and Zhang Honglun were selected by Hong Niao, and the nursery rhymes were appreciated by Kitahara Bai, so they joined the nursery rhymes magazine Milk Tree sponsored by Bai Qiu's favorite pupil Xun Shengge. 1932 entered the English Department of Tokyo Foreign Languages School, and in January of the same year, Hong Niao published A Quan Fox. However, because Kitahara Shirahara and Suzuki, editor-in-chief of Hong Niao, broke up with Hong Niao, Nanji also left Hong Niao with Schoenberg. From 65438 to 0935, Nanji created more than 30 unique juvenile fairy tales in one breath because someone wanted to publish a new collection of Nanji fairy tales, but the publication was fruitless. 1936 After graduation, Nan Ji's desire to teach was not realized, so he went to work in a trade chamber in Kanda, and then returned to his hometown for the second time because of vomiting blood. He worked as a teaching assistant in Hehe Primary School from 1937, and then worked in the Chamber of Commerce. After a miserable life of humiliation and low salary, he finally became a teacher in Ancheng Girls' High School from 1938, and has been writing in a stable life ever since. In May of the same year, he published novels "The Last Man Playing the Huqin", "The Story of Chang Zhu Wang" and "Burying Flowers" in Harbin Daily in Manchukuo. The following year, he published Qian's works in Women's World and edited Nuo's hymns in New Children's Culture, thus establishing his position as a writer. Mesin Nanji is also very keen on educational activities, helping students publish carved poems and create plays for students to play. 1942 65438+ 10 Nanji often coughed up a lot of blood and knew that she was dying. However, in the spring, his condition improved, and he began to create vigorously, publishing the first collection of fairy tales, Grandpa's kerosene lamp. In August of the same year, I collected materials for writing "Biography of Wanlou". During the trip, his illness recurred viciously and he died young in March of the following year at the age of 30. In September of the same year after his death, Huashu Village and Thief and Camellia with Cattle were published.
Messina Munji's short creative career can be divided into the following periods: the first period (Hong Niao's submission period). Focusing on nursery rhymes and fairy tales, this paper describes the sensibility of ordinary people and constructs stories through the observation of folk story literature. The second period (foreign language students). While studying novel creation and translation, I concentrate on creating childhood fairy tales. The third period (Ancheng Girls' High School). Started writing juvenile novels. The description of the works is rooted in teenagers' psychological activities and local real life feelings, showing a strong autobiographical color. The fourth period (old age). Although he realized that death was coming, he still enthusiastically returned to fairy tale creation. The main works of Nanji fairy tales were created in this period. Looking at all Nanji's works, the characteristic is that while praising and pursuing common goodness, there is always a sad life that is difficult to communicate with pure goodwill. Goodwill and humor make Nanji's fairy tales have the goodness and beauty of folk art.
