The following year after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, I—the Chinese actress "Li Xianglan"—debuted in Manchukuo and became an overnight star. Yet I was a pure-blooded Japanese woman.
The turbulent half-life of a woman who lived loving two opposing nations.
The Chinese star "Li Xianglan," who flourished as an actress and singer before and during the war, was actually Yamaguchi Yoshiko, a pure-blooded Japanese woman.
Born in 1920 in northeastern China to Japanese parents, the author debuted under Manchukuo's national policies of "Five-Race Harmony" and "Japan-Manchuria Friendship" due to her beauty, singing talent, and above all, her perfect command of Mandarin.
Torn between her longing for Japan, a homeland she had never seen, and her love for China where she was born and raised, she suffered from the inability to confess that she was actually Japanese. As the Chinese actress "Li Xianglan," she rose to stardom, only to face the crisis of being labeled a traitor at the war's end...
This autobiography chronicles a woman who, while tossed about by the tides of her era, forged her own destiny with strength and intelligence. After the war, she flourished not only as an actress but also as a hostess and politician.
