Before the end of that academic year, I had already arrived in Tokyo. Because after that experience, I came to realize that medicine was not the most critical thing. For a weak and ignorant nation, no matter how physically fit or robust its citizens may be, they could only serve as meaningless specimens for public display or as passive spectators. The number of those who die from illness is not something to be considered a misfortune. Therefore, our foremost priority is to transform their spirit — and the best means of transforming the spirit, I believed at the time, was through literature and the arts. Thus, I resolved to advocate for a literary movement.
