Rookie Author Shu Shimizu Announces Publication of “A Japanese Boy Sees A New Light”

NAGOYA, Japan (PRWEB)
September 09, 2022

New Exit Memory”Japanese boy sees a new light(published by Partridge Singapore) by Shu Shimizu tells the true life story of a 9-year-old Japanese boy who decides he would like to live in a democratic society rather than an imperialist or communist one.

Japan’s defeat in World War II led to the division of the Korean Peninsula where Russia would control north of the 38th parallel and America would control it to the south. At that time, all Japanese nationals in North Korea became refugees, including Shimizu and her family who faced many hardships. Nine months after abandoning their home, they reached South Korean soil where US Marines treated them like respectable humans. After much disappointment with imperialism and communism in North Korea, they achieved freedom in South Korea under the American way of democracy.

“My brother’s book describes his experiences escaping from North Korea. But it’s written in Japanese and there are a lot of books like his in Japan,” says the author. “So I decided to write one in English at least for Americans.”

An excerpt from the book says:

“Shu, please move your legs. I have to drive you to Father’s house where he was born.

“I was born in Korea. Keijo is my hometown, mother. I can not walk. I want to stay here. Please leave me here. I will be a Korean boy,” I cried as I shed tears.
