青梅竹马

Childhood Sweetheart is a collection of works of Japanese outstanding female writer Higuchi Ichiyo in the 19th century. Eight representative works are selected, such as Childhood Sweetheart, Chinese New Year's Eve, Case Study, Access Road, as well as essays Cuckoo and Raindrops on the Oar. Higuchi Ichiyo lived in Tokyo. She sees through all aspects of the human world objectively, writes about ordinary people's ordinary daily life, explores their tough life style and strength, and comforts people tired of the daily life with a compassionate and warm heart. Since she was born to be a common person, she wrote about the common people's life. With her own rise in adversity, she wrote about the original life and human feelings of small potatoes in the great time to repose the longing for light and warmth in the decline of the society. With its unique quasi classical style, Higuchi Ichiyo's works achieve an ingenious balance between lyricism and narration, thus possessing both the charm of classical literature and the expressive force of modern literature. .
