100 years ago today, on January 14, 1925 (December 20, 1924, the lunar calendar), Japanese writer Yukio Mishima was born. Yukio Mishima (January 14, 1925-November 25, 1970), whose real name was Koshi Hiraoka, was a Japanese novelist, playwright, journalist, filmmaker, film actor and right-wing political fanatic. Born on January 14, 1925 (the 14th year of Taisho) in the 2nd section of Nagumi-cho, Yosan-ku, Tokyo, Yukio Mishima is one of the masters of Japanese post-war literature and has a high reputation in the Japanese literary world. Among the many works, the most well-known is "Kinkaku Temple" published in 1956. It is a work full of tragic disillusionment aesthetics. Keno Okuno once praised the work at the time: "This is the highest level of Mishima literature, the collection of Mishima aesthetics, the biggest harvest in the literary world this year." In addition to Japan, Mishima's works are also highly praised in the Western world. Some people even call him "Japan's Hemingway". He has been shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times. He is also the contemporary writer whose works have been translated into English and other foreign languages. Mishima deeply appreciated Japan's traditional Bushido spirit and strict patriotism. On November 25, 1970, after writing the quartet of "The Sea of Fertility"("Spring Snow","Running Horse","Dawn Temple" and "The Five Decades of Heaven and Man"), he committed suicide by kiri.
