东京一年

“二O一六年，我独自一人在东京生活了一年，东京也拯救了我。”受日本国际交流基金会之邀，蒋方舟在东京独居了一年。她越来越喜欢写漫长的日记，觉得孤独地生活一辈子也不是坏事。日记共有四十六则，收录了她最新的短篇小说、演讲和时评，驳杂不失纯粹。从社会、艺术到当今中日两国世间百态，都有其独特又不失严肃的描摹与思考。同时，这也是一本病历，记录了一个人要活成本来面目所需付出的努力。“就像在东京度过的一年并没有把我变成一个新人，我们只是更像自己本来该成为的样子。”
"In 2016, I lived in Tokyo alone for one year and Tokyo saved me." Invited by The Japan Foundation, Jiang Fangzhou lived alone in Tokyo for a year. She loved to write long diaries more and more and thought it was not bad to live in solitude for an entire life. There are altogether 46 diaries, including her latest short stories, speeches and reviews, which cover society, art and situations in China and Japan, unique and having serious depiction and thinking. Meanwhile, it is also a medical history, recording the effort one needs to pay to become what he or she intends to be. "The one year in Tokyo has not turned me into a new leaf; it only makes me more of what I should become."
