The book "History of Postwar Japanese Literature" makes its own sorting out of Japanese literature in the past sixty years. It places literature in the social and historical background of different periods, discusses the development of different genres such as Japanese novels, poetry, and dramas, and explains and interprets for readers the writers and works of different genres such as the postwar school, the scoundrel school, the third group of newcomers, the modern school, the social school, and the introverted generation. The author adheres to the ideological and artistic standards of literary criticism with a high degree of historical materialism. The book has detailed data, abundant citations, fluent writing and unique opinions.

This book explains how inexperienced Chinese scholars evaluate Japanese postwar literature. This book also reflects the Chinese literary trend under the opening-up policy after the "Cultural Revolution". This book has a macroscopic aesthetic grasp and a wide-angle artistic observation, as shown in the chapters of "Postwar Japanese Novels", "Postwar Poetry" and "Postwar Drama" in the book. In summary, the author has carefully read various writers and their works, organized them clearly and into a self-contained system. It is an arduous task to have a deep affection for the characters and plots of the works involved.
