Chinese literature
"Don't worry. Even if you eat 滷肉 rice (Ruo-fun), you can eat two or three cups of Japanese Blue Crab on your Okowa!" A trip by train between Japanese and Taiwanese women. Meet, fall in love, and eat up the island. This is a sister "food" novel written by a spirited Taiwanese writer. In 1938, during a lecture tour, the writer Sen Tsuruko Aoyama went to the island under Japanese rule, and the Taiwanese interpreter Wang Chizuru met there. The two "Chizuru" travel to various places on the Trans-Taiwan Railway. They eat the rich Taiwanese cuisine (Wax Gourd juice), Wax Gourd soboro sandwich sponge cake, 菜尾 hot water (mixed soup), Aitama-yu, ground meat boiled Tsukena, etc. The days when they eat up rich Taiwanese food and share time combine friendship and romantic feelings, but the colonial relationship between Japan and Taiwan, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the discrimination against women cast a shadow over them. This is a book that can be enjoyed by conversation plays and travel journals between Japanese and Taiwanese women that captures the complex identity that has been tossed about by history.
