Exquisite! A thousand thanks! China through the poetic eyes of a Japanese. This is a gem of history! I feel I cannot praise it enough. I cannot understand either Japanese of Chinese, but this film speaks for itself. I am so grateful to its makers.
The lady in 1:55:11 the video reminds me of my grandma. She was 35 that year, she passed away earlier this year. It’s unbelievable how time goes by. 1981 seemed not a long time ago but it is. I’ll always remember her.
Thanks a lot for uploading this documentary. I was at Wuhan University when he visited. But I did not know he was visiting. The place of the interview was a breezeway between the dorms.
I read a book about a small town situated along the river near three gorge valley, now sunk under the river. The author is an academic young American, who lived there for two years and taught English in 1996-1998.
