Introduction · · · · · ·
"Golden Dreamland" is the representative work of the famous Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka. It won the 5th Japan Bookstore Award and the 21st Shugoro Yamamoto Award. The Japanese version has sold over 1.14 million copies. Masato Sakai and Yuko Takeuchi starred in the movie of the same name. Regarding the original intention of creating "Golden Dreamland", Kotaro Isaka said in an interview: "It goes without saying how immature human beings are and how difficult this world is. If readers feel that "even though it is difficult, we must work hard tomorrow" after reading "Golden Dreamland", I will be satisfied."

The new Japanese Prime Minister was assassinated on the streets of Sendai by a remote-controlled aircraft carrying a bomb. The police immediately identified a man named Aoyagi Masaharu as the murderer.

Qing Liu was forced to flee, and gradually discovered that someone had already deliberately set a trap:

Two years ago, he became famous for saving a female star when he was a courier, which became the reason for his frame-up; half a year ago, threatening phone calls continued to harass the courier company and he was forced to resign; two months ago, he was falsely accused of being a pervert while riding in a car; on the day of the incident, the TV station broadcast surveillance video showing that someone who looked like him bought a remote-controlled airplane; the next day, the police announced that he called and admitted that he was the murderer.

Qingliu was speechless and was surrounded.

Father: Yachun, we can take care of ourselves. You, just do your best! Run away!

Morita: If you are targeted by a giant whale, the best option is to run away. Aoyagi, run away. Run far away and stay alive.

Haruko: I will be on time this time. Let's go, Aoyagi!

Hajime: Senior Aoyagi, run away! There is definitely something wrong with these people!

Che Man: Hey? Hey, you're not the one who assassinated the Prime Minister, are you? Please shake my hand!

Qimei: This person doesn’t seem like a bad guy, but more like an ordinary person. He is quite handsome and is the type that Qimei likes.

Young man: Come on, uncle! It wasn't you who did it anyway, right? You were running for your life, so we won't take a photo with you.

Iwasaki: Aoyagi, you really rock!

I am used to looking at things from a pessimistic perspective, and I don’t want to write something that makes readers feel heavy and gloomy, so I decided to write a story about trying to survive on a pessimistic stage. I can’t imagine what Chinese readers will think of "Golden Dreamland", but if you can forget the hardships of daily life a little while reading this novel and truly enjoy the fun brought by this story, I will be satisfied. Isn’t this the meaning of novels? - Kotaro Isaka

When I create, I have a belief: I want to surprise readers and hope that they can smile when they read it. - Kotaro Isaka

This is a masterpiece by Kotaro Isaka. Whether it is foreshadowing, dialogue or the control of timeline, it is very brilliant and impressive. - Shinchosha

Perfect! I can't find any reason why "Golden Dreamland" didn't win the award. ——Setsuko Shinoda (Judge of the Yamamoto Shugoro Award)

"Golden Dreamland" directly faces friendship, love and trust that are ignored by modern people. The difficult setting and techniques surprised me. Isaka really has an unshakable talent. - Mariko Koike (Judge of the Yamamoto Shugoro Award)

"Golden Dreamland" shows the strength of ordinary people in desperate situations and the bond of friendship. I seem to hear the most beautiful harmony through the pages of the book. - Iskander, a reader of the Japanese website bookmeter

"Golden Dreamland" takes innocence, trust and survival as its themes, bringing warmth to people and filling the gaps in their hearts. ——Japanese website cinemacafe
