His representative works include Devil's Paradise, Artificial Beauty, Sound Net, Devil's Goal and so on. When the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, hoshi shinichi's gloomy mood was obvious. Therefore, although Nobuyuki Hoshino is not a completely pessimistic and negative world-weary, he is full of ups and downs, and his difficult experience makes him have a keen insight into the predatory and treacherous capitalist society. He has written many colorful mini-novels that reflect social reality from all angles. His works are included in The Complete Works of hoshi shinichi. Known as "the originator of Japanese mini-novels" and "the god of short stories". His works are known as "science fiction", "One Thousand and One Nights" and "One must read in life". The cumulative print run of Shinichi Hoshino's mini-novels in the world has exceeded 1 100 million copies, which is well known to all women and children and suitable for all ages.

Types of works
Miniature novels originated in America. Robert Foest, a famous American critic, once defined that mini-fiction must be highly "condensed" and full of drama, and the plot of an ordinary short story should be completely contained in about 1500 words. He believes that micro-fiction should have these three elements: first, the concept is novel and strange; Second, the plot is relatively complete; Third, the ending was unexpected.
Hoshi shinichi Juvenile Science Fiction is a collection of short stories by hoshi shinichi, the father of Japanese science fiction. The fascicles are Emotional TV, Dream City, Dream Bank, Naughty Robot and Hello, Earthlings. In addition to the representative works of the author in various periods, it also includes selected Chinese textbooks and articles read after class.
Characteristics of works
Hoshi shinichi learned it from others. In addition to inheriting the "three elements theory" put forward by Robert, he first broke through the limitation of the length of mini-novels, ranging from two or three thousand words to four or five thousand words. "To make a long story short" greatly enhances the flexibility and expressiveness of mini-novels. Secondly, Hoshino Shinichi has broadened the theme of mini-novels to all fields of human life, especially good at science fiction. Some of his novels gallop in the imaginary future world, some resemble fairy tales and fables, some are full of philosophy, some are fascinating in reasoning, and some give goblins and ghosts human spirit and so on. Shinichi Hoshino's mini-novels often choose a clever angle and have a unique style, seeing the big from the small, just like a delicate small mirror, reflecting various fragments of social life from different angles. Shinichi Hoshino's works are complicated. Besides science fiction, he also wrote many mystery novels, humorous stories, essays and essays. But among them, there is no doubt that the highest artistic value and artistic achievement is science fiction.
Shinichi Hoshino is good at depicting the protagonist in relief by line drawing, "the emphasis is on the likeness, not the likeness", so that the characters can naturally show their own personality in dialogue and action. If you want to write mini-novels concisely and meticulously, you must master superb cutting skills. Shinichi Hoshino knows this well and often wins by surprise. To make a long story short, he cherishes ink like gold, and his feet are far away. The reason why Shinichi Hoshino's mini-novels can give people a brand-new and memorable artistic enjoyment is inseparable from his weighty "weight" at the end of his works. There are many mini-novels similar to fairy tales in hoshi shinichi. They are lively, interesting and educational, and are deeply loved by adults and children. Shinichi Hoshino's brush strokes have penetrated into every corner of real life, reflecting various social problems and contradictions.
Since 1959, Japanese writer and translator Du Zhudov officially introduced mini-novels popular in Europe and America to Japan, the number of Japanese writers writing in this literary style has increased year by year. But for more than 20 years, Shinichi Hoshino has always been far ahead in quantity and quality, as if enjoying the "patent right" in this field, and is regarded as "the originator of Japanese mini-novels". 1974, the Japanese trendy society published a complete collection of Hoshino Shinichi. By the end of 1983 and 10, Shinichi Hoshino had published more than 1000 works and became a world record creator.
A "micro-carving artist" who is good at carving on hair is not necessarily less painstaking than a sculptor who deals with statues tens of meters high. Similarly, writing mini-novels is not necessarily easier than writing great works. Hoshi shinichi's mini-novels are even called "haiku in novels" in Japan because of their conciseness, freshness, significance and poetry. There are absolutely no flowery words in his works, which are easy for Japanese primary and middle school students to understand. The formation of this simple style of writing is the result of the writer's painstaking management.
198 1 year, Toastmasters Japan founded the literary quarterly Mini-Novel Garden, and established the "Hoshino Shinichi Mini-Novel Literature Award" in this magazine, which is held once a year.
Xing Yi on the Road to Creation (complete works of modern literature, Xing Yi's works, commentary (Wan Zhi, Tian Quan)), Japanese trendy society, 1979 edition. ) wrote in the article, "I advocate that writing topics are not limited. But I set three principles for myself: first, never describe pornography or murder scenes; Second, don't follow the fashion, don't write works about current events and customs; Third, don't use modernist methods. " It is not easy for hoshi shinichi to keep such a serious writing attitude when the tendency of literature commercialization is becoming more and more serious and pornography and murder are flooding the Japanese literary world. Shinichi Hoshino's works can stand the test of time. Japanese writer Du Zhuduo said, "Even if you read his works ten years ago, you will never feel out of date." This is inseparable from his creative method. His works often don't involve specific places, environments, years, events and names, excluding those factors that may become outdated with the changes of the times. In Shinichi Hoshino's works, it is almost difficult to find detailed words describing portraits, and even the names of the protagonists are mostly replaced by letters such as N or S. Shinichi Hoshino once said in the article "Description of People": "Why don't my works use ordinary names? Because Japanese names have their particularity, readers can often judge the character and age of characters according to their names. Some names are known as gentlemen with status at first glance, while others remind people of charming beauty. This situation is not uncommon. " Shinichi Hoshino doesn't want readers to get some impression only by the name of the protagonist in the work, but to make the characters "live" and express their character with actions. Shinichi Hoshino believes that writers should speak through their works, and novels are not papers after all. Instead of writing a mysterious and unfathomable "heavenly book" for critics to explain seriously, it is better to give readers easy-to-understand, vivid and interesting works directly, so that readers can taste and judge for themselves.

On the Style of Shinichi Hoshino's Works
Text/silver A is automatically faster.
About twenty years ago, Mr. Zhang Xiguo serialized a series of sci-fi columns in Human Supplement, introducing many sci-fi works at home and abroad. At that time, Shinichi Hoshino's sci-fi short stories were first introduced to China and published by Lighting Publishing House. Short stories were later named "extremely short stories", which is a kind of "mini-novels" (the word number is about 1500 words, including all the elements inherent in short stories and the genre that fully explains the plot). In the 1930s,/kloc-0 was named "short-short stories" by Zhonghe Yi Shi, which is a master of this genre, not only Hoshino Shinichi, but also
When I was in the Japanese Department, my teacher suggested that we read Shinichi Hoshino's novels because I took the course Selected Readings of Modern Japanese Literature. So I bought two Chinese and Japanese novels translated by Li Zhaoxi to train my reading ability. Later, I found out that I came into contact with his works earlier. For example, Time Culture published a sci-fi cartoon "Aibaiman" painted by Sun Jiayu on 1990, which was also an idea from hoshi shinichi. The story describes a child who met a strange aunt on his way to school and revealed an amazing secret to him: his parents who forced him to eat vegetables were controlled by people who thought about cabbage, but when he was out of danger, he was surprised to find that the aunt was actually terrible. Describing vegetables as horrible evolutionary creatures, I'm afraid only Shinichi Hoshino can do it!
Shinichi Hoshino's short stories can be roughly divided into four categories: science fiction, reasoning, fantasy and fairy tales, trying to explore the mysteries of human nature. With the story itself, a three-dimensional face of human nature may emerge. This idea is the starting point of his writing. He is used to treating the characters in the story as ordinary people with public faces like Mr. Almost, so there are often symbolic characters such as Dr. N, Dr. F, Miss S, etc. That is because he focuses on the careful arrangement of the plot and story structure and deliberately ignores the description of the characters, so that there will be subtle interaction between the works and the readers. After reading it, I always feel that such a story may also happen in the life around us. Just like Murphy's Law, what you think is possible will definitely happen, so it is not unreasonable to say that Yukichi Hoshino's novels are full of predictions. He not only pursues the possibility of extreme expression in his writing, but also tries to explore the possibility of "humanity" and "desire". Whether it is satire or criticism, he always points out blind spots that people can't see, which is just in line with the personality traits needed by "crisis management".
He has a profound understanding of human nature. He describes life succinctly and powerfully with concise structure, novel ideas and smooth dialogue, and is full of humor, suspense and excitement everywhere. The story always has an unexpected ending in the end. For example, domestic reasoning magazines serialized several short stories of Someone Knocking at the Door, each of which started with "Someone Knocking at the Door" and suddenly inserted an incredible event in a segment of daily life. The plot took a turn for the worse, which was amazing! Just like a drunken man, he broke into a mysterious woman after answering the door. He doesn't understand what this woman has to do with himself. Finally, the answer was revealed. This woman is his wife, because she accidentally slapped her husband and let him hit the ashtray, which led to short-term amnesia. Such an absurd life theater often presents different tragicomedy in the story of Shinichi Hoshino.
Shinichi Hoshino's works are mostly fantasy science fiction and belong to the category of alternative mystery novels. Because the story content can easily stimulate children's imagination, Japan's Ministry of Education has also included his works in primary school textbooks, and his novels have also been selected as excellent reading materials suitable for children. Because in the period of high plasticity from primary school to junior high school, the more works that can arouse children's fantasy and curiosity, such as Sherlock Holmes and Yasen Lubang, the more they can arouse their interest. Japanese literary critics' view of Yukichi Hoshino's works is that his basic attitude in writing is "doubting all common sense", that is, he is used to reverse thinking and breakthrough thinking. Reading Shinichi Hoshino's works often makes people feel like "brain teasers". In daily and entertaining discourse, we can understand the contradiction and contrast of values brought about by the change of "position" and "viewpoint" from different angles. Reading itself is like playing. There is a mystery between the lines. You can read his same work in different ways and at different times. Although there is a fixed connection structure behind each story, the patterns reassembled through the reader's eyes are different, and you can feel different every time. This is the charm of Hoshino Shinichi's novel. I think the benefits of miniature novels are like looking out from a small kaleidoscope. I didn't expect the world reflected in my eyes to be so colorful, changeable and unforgettable.
The cub culture published the collection of the early short stories of Hoshino Shinichi, The Last Earth Man. The first story, Robot Girl, takes us to a bar in the future, where beautiful robot girls serve drinkers, but some people have ulterior motives and feed the powder mixed with deadly poison to the robot girls in cups. Because the wine that the robot girl drinks will flow into the wine storage tank in the bar and then be recycled to the guests, the bar is particularly quiet that night, and only the music is still playing, so all. Another short story, Butterfly in Winter, describes a human being with high-tech civilization suddenly facing an unprecedented ice age. Amo, the last surviving monkey, climbed out of the incubator, got to know the world again, survived in the cold environment, and naturally started his homework-drilling for wood to make a fire. It is really not easy to show a civilization's concept of cycle time in a short story. Friends who love watching science fiction movies and disaster movies will be interested in these fantastic stories.
