Japanese and Chinese

About This Novel

Neighbors are like a mirror, reflecting an unfamiliar self. Japan's well-known historical classic takes you into Japan beyond the "Chrysanthemum" and "Sword". This is a unique treatise on Japan, as well as a historical summary of interesting anecdotes and strange stories about Japan and China throughout the ages. Chen Shun-chen, a Chinese-Japanese writer, wandered between two hometowns and two cultures throughout his life. His status as a marginalized person allowed him to accept the shackles of fate. It also allowed him to use his unique life experience and vivid "compound eyes" perspective to see the differences and overlaps in the historical traditions of the two countries, and thus wrote essays on Chinese and Japanese culture that are full of witty words and full of humor. He returned from the distant ancient times to the cultural junction between China and Japan in the modern era, wandering freely between history and reality; with a "suicide note" mood, he wanted to write down the reasons that hindered mutual understanding between China and Japan. Getting to know your neighbors again is also a way of looking at yourself in detail. We are neighbors - we complement each other, it's destiny.
