Sea bream and Sheep
by Mo Bangfu
About This Novel
This book is one of the "Reading Japan Books Series". Mr. Mo Bangfu, a Chinese in Japan, uses his decades of rich life experience in Japan (especially food experience) as well as his profound cultural skills and solid writing skills to interestingly describe the differences in food culture between China and Japan. For example, "white fish" and "condensed fat", which represent female beauty, focus on the differences between Chinese and Japanese cultures - when Chinese literati and poets describe beauty as "having fingers like peeled onions", Japanese literati use "white fish" to describe them (Du Haihuai's "White Fish and Condensed Fat - Sino-Japanese Cultural Differences from the Description of Beautiful Women", published in "Japanese Knowledge" Issue 05, 2001). The subtlety of language and the subtle meaning of words are all in these details. When you flip through this booklet, you may feel that Wang Youjun "so wanders with eyes and dreams, and believes in happiness."
