female

In these two stories written by different authors in different eras and backgrounds, they have one thing in common—a particularly cowardly male character, and a relatively firm and tenacious female character. comparison between.

Of course, there is no accident in the drama "Cherry Peach and Dandelion". It is said that it is a portrayal of the author Osamu Dazai himself, but what about "Samurai Part", which is based on the samurai life of the end of the era? The strong, courageous and selfless spirit shown by the heroine Jia Shi makes the male figure who always stubbornly guards the so-called dignity feel extremely ashamed and even feel ashamed.

"Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated." Traditional Chinese men and Japanese men value dignity more than life. The Japanese have a culture of viewing cherry blossoms, so they even talk about death and falling flowers, and believe that it is the most brilliant moment in life to end life, so there is a tradition of cutting the belly. The ending of "Part of the Samurai" can be said to be "if you fail, you will become a benevolent". Between men, there must be a break.

And in the end, "Sakura no Peach" and "Dandelion" represent who of Otani Joji and Sachi respectively? It seems that both statements make sense. The Chinese are of course used to comparing the fruit to women, and the wandering seeds to men. However, in traditional Japanese culture, women seem to be more in line with the identity of drifting and subordinate to others, and cherry blossoms are the symbol of male image.

Looking at it this way, Sanmura Shinnoichi and Otani Ryoji seem to be no better than the other, but Kasei and Sachi are competing for beauty, and one blooms more beautifully than the other.
