A Comparison between Chinese and Japanese Die-for-Love Stories in Modern Times

Both the Chinese and Japanese die-for-love stories,whether they are stories of between wits and harlots or stories oflove between muromachi and geishas,are based on the identity that transcends money,class and stratum.In reality when sentiments and emotions go against morality and ethics,the man and woman in love in these stories prefer to sacrifice themselves for love,and the author then sublimates the death of the characters,which could be seen in both Chinese and Japanese works like Hua Yue Hen,Ohatu and Tokube and Double Suicide.Among other things,the differences in aesthetics and narration can also be unfolded through contrast.
