00:00I believe and hope that my daily life will not be so different from before.
00:08When I was informed of the award at the Nobel Peace Prize,
00:13I didn't feel real, so I just tried to have a calm conversation.
00:21After I hung up the phone, I checked the press release, and then I felt real.
00:29The past week that so many people celebrated like their own work
00:34will be remembered as a special impression for me.
00:41I am a person who is connected to the world through the writing I write,
00:46so I want to keep writing as I have done so far and meet readers in the book.
