Noble  prize Chronicle of wound-up ‘Harukists’as Murakami fails to win (article)

Summary

I thought that this is a rude article though...

This time, British writer Kazuo Ishiguro who was born in Japan has won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature. He has lived in England since he was five.

In fact, many people and even a famous Japanese bookshop thought Haruki Murakami would win and they have been thinking that for a long time.

The news told us that some famous actors also couldn't win and it took 23 years for one actor.

Japanese people accepted Ishiguro’s win because of the Japanese blood in him.

Furthermore, the news added that Japanese people couldn’t even  accept a person who was even born Japan and raised only Japan, just because her father was a Taiwanese and she had multiple citizenships.

Why did she appear in this article?

This has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize.

What a disagreeable news this is!

I thought that there are many other reasons that Japanese people couldn't accept her. However, in Japan, the nationality of the person matters.

We have to choose the good book that irregardless of nationalities.
