Writing Manchuria details the lives and translates a selection of
fiction from one of the mid-twentieth century’s "four famous
husband-wife writers" of China’s Northeast, who lived in the
Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo: Li Zhengzhong (1921–2020) and
Zhu Ti (1923–2012). The writings herein were published from the
late 1930s to the mid-1940s, in Manchukuo, north China, and Japan;
their writings appeared in the most prominent Japanese-owned,
Chinese-language journals and newspapers. This volume includes
materials that were censored or banned by the Manchukuo
authorities: Li Zhengzhong’s "Temptation" and "Frost Flowers,"
and Zhu Ti’s "Cross the Bo Sea" and "Little Linzi and her
Family." Li Zhengzhong has been characterized as "an angry youth"
while Zhu Ti’s work questioned contemporary gender ideals and the
subjugation of women. Their writings – those that were censored
or banned and those published – shed important light on Japanese
imperialism and the Chinese literature that was produced in
different regions, reflecting both official support and
suppression. Writing Manchuria is the first English-language
translation of their writings, and it will appeal to those
interested in Chinese wartime literature, as well as contribute to
understandings of imperialism and the varied forms it took across
Japan’s vast war-time empire.
