The 23rd year of the Showa era, the 37th year of the Republic of China, 1948.
You can define this year however you want. Everyone has their own way of measuring time, which is related to his previous years and his unique life experience.
For me, the 23rd year of Showa is the end of an era. This end is about war, years, the past, ideals, literature, madness, and the romance that I least want to mention.
An ordinary person's shadow projected on the curtain of the times, his era is over.
