Rashomon (chinese and Japanese Bilingual)

About This Novel
The 1950 film "Rashomon" directed by Akira Kurosawa was based on the short story "In the Bamboo Grove" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. In this novel, there is no so-called truth, only the use of one's own narrative to deconstruct the narratives of others, dominated by egoism. It is this darkness that obscures the truth of the murder and constitutes the fog of "In the Bamboo Forest". "Rashomon (Chinese-Japanese Bilingual)" selects and translates two works by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Grove" that are widely known to readers. The short story "Rashomon" with the same name as the movie is based on the 23rd chapter of Volume 29 of the Japanese Buddhist story collection "The Story of the Past", "A man with a wife traveling in Tamba was bound to the mountains in Ojiang Mountain." "Rashomon" is said to be the door to hell, so the word also has the meaning of "wandering between life and death".

The dark side of the heart. Saints will also have it
In the bamboo forest. Everyone is trying their best to cover up their own darkness. Improve your own good image. The justice in my heart has long been buried. The courage of the Rashomon generals is just a ladder that does not follow the trend. In the end, it is not the dark side of human nature that even life and death cannot cleanse. What caused all this was just their own desire for a moment of glory. But what I am pursuing is inner comfort. If the deepest part of their hearts is that justice is greater than heaven. There will be no hidden truth.
