About This Novel
On the eve of World War II, when German and Austrian Jewish refugees had nowhere to seek refuge, China extended a helping hand to them. During their exile in China, Jewish exiles truly came into contact with China's customs and customs, breaking their original stereotypes and developing new and more realistic understandings. They carried out a wealth of cultural activities in Shanghai and other parts of China, such as literary creation, founding publications, and performing plays. They not only united Jewish exiles in China and helped them integrate into Chinese society, but also added color to local cultural life. This book collects and translates essays, novels, poems, etc. From Jewish exile newspapers (such as Shanghai Jewish Chronicle, Eight O'clock Evening News, Jewish Information, etc.). Although the articles are short and concise, they show a rich perspective and create a three-dimensional and multi-dimensional image of China. In addition, this book also includes two short stories by the Jewish-German writer and drama critic Wolfgang Hada, as well as letters between the German writer and dramatist Kachs Ludwig Mohr and his wife during his trip to China and during his stay in China. These literary works were written by Jewish exiles in China and are more timely, authentic and persuasive. While presenting many aspects of the lives and psychology of Jewish exiles, they also help readers understand the cultural understanding of China by German-speaking Jewish exiles at that time. They provide new materials and new ideas for domestic research on Jewish exile history and literature. They are also conducive to strengthening my country's cultural confidence and are of great significance to cultural exchanges and cooperation.
