About This Novel
Japanese literary talent Ryu Murakami created a novel based on the "Baby Locker Abandoned Case" that shocked Japanese society. His advanced ideas and keen insight into society make the work still have social significance to this day. Forty years after the work was published (2016), Japan's national treasure musical director Nobuji Kimura put the story on the stage of a musical again. Despair in confinement inspires speed and fantasy, a masterpiece of genius! Aqiao and Aju are two baby boys who were abandoned by their biological mothers in a locker. They spent their childhood in an orphanage, and were later adopted by a poor couple. They spent their teenage years in the ruins of a coal mine, and successively entered the deformed Tokyo society at that time. With his heavenly voice, Ah Qiao was packaged as a pop star and completely lost himself. Aju tried to stop the record company owner from hyping up Aqiao's life experience, but accidentally killed his biological mother in the chaos created by the media. He escaped from prison in a labor camp and went to the Pacific islands with his girlfriend and fellow inmates to search for the poison on the bottom of the sea - Datura flowers that destroyed this dirty city.
