【Course Objectives】

We will read intensively " Fang SiQi's First Love Paradise(Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise/ English Eedition) " (2017/Taiwan) and the works of Zhang Ailing (Eileen Chang 1920-95). whose author Lin Yihan(1991-2017) was influenced by her. To deepen our understanding of contemporary Chinese society and Chinese literature,
including Zhang Ailing's presence and influence in the Chinese-speaking world(Greater China), sexual violence victims, and the #MeToomovement.

【Course Contents】

We will read "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise" (original: 2017 / Japanese: 2019) by Taiwanese writer Lin Yihan (1991-2017) and consider this work and the context in which it was created. We will also read one of the short or second volume works by Zhang Ailing (1920-95), a writer who has had a great influence in the Greater China region for a long time, and ask the participants to present their thoughts on the work and its influence on "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise" in turn, followed by a discussion among all participants.
In recent years, sexual assaults against minors, which have not been so much exposed in the past, have been increasingly reported in Japan, along with the terms "mind control" and "grooming," such as power-based sexual assaults in the entertainment industry and sexual assaults and sexual abuse against children and students by teachers at schools and cram schools.
 The book is not only an outstanding work of literature, but also a worth reading text that considers the serious problem of sexual assault of minors in modern society from the perspectives of the victim, the perpetrator, and a third party. Soon after its release, it became a bestseller in Taiwan with 260,000 copies (as of 2019) and 1 million copies (as of 2020) in mainland China. It has been translated in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Poland, Russia, and other countries.
 The Japanese edition of the book was temporarily out of print, but was reprinted in February 2024 by Hakusuisha U Books due to the strong demand from various quarters as a work that should be read in Japan today. We also consider the significance of this work, which should be read now, even though it has been almost seven years since the original publication.
