Another name for the story is: "Once Upon a Time in America" BE Literature [Micro-historical group portrait novel] + [Multiple triangle sadomasochistic relationships] + [Multiple female protagonists] This story begins in 1979 during the Carter administration. The world at that time was in the midst of major changes, including the Brezhnev Doctrine of the Soviet Union, the Middle East oil crisis, the return of the Panama Canal, the assassination of President Reagan, Star Wars, the Plaza Accord, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of the Soviet Union... These things were hot topics around the world at that time. However, for the Japanese students living here and the Chinese in the United States, these things seem to have little to do with them, and they do not clearly feel these changes. Their existence seems insignificant in front of the torrent of the times, and they can only follow the tide of the times. They have to face various challenges in life, or work hard to make ends meet, or complete their studies, or face the complicated relationships between friends and partners... Their sadness, joy, love, enthusiasm, and loss... All of this will become a different kind of white memory that will be forever recorded in the albums of the times.
