活着回来的男人:一个普通日本兵的二战及战后生命史(新版)
(japan) Bear Eiji
"The Man Who Came Back Alive" is a book that chronicles the life history of Japan before and after World War II from the perspective of ordinary people. The protagonist Kenji Xiong has been drafted at a young age, worked in a prisoner of war camp, contracted tuberculosis, caught up with the wave of rapid economic growth, and initiated a post-war lawsuit against Japan for compensation. This book is both an oral history, a popular history and a social history. The author records the life trajectory of his father as an ordinary Japanese soldier, showing the changes in the times before and after World War II, the changes in Japanese society after the war, and how individual destiny is affected by the great times. He also reflects on Japan's war crimes, forming a "living history of the 20th century."
