My stories were all about Chinese in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and even though they may have been fresh and interesting to Japanese readers and increased their understanding of China, they weren't able to strike a chord with them and fight their way into the Japanese literary mainstream.
我的小說都是寫台灣、香港中國人的故事，雖然能讓日本人覺得新鮮有趣，也可以促進他們對中國的瞭解，但究竟抓不到日本的「義理人情」，打不進日本文學主流。
