Features: As a woman, Du can be loved or hated, but as a writer, her artistic charm is undeniable and immortal. Marguerite Du is undoubtedly one of the most influential, individualistic, and charming female writers of the 20th century. She has a wide readership in China and all over the world. This is a book, this is a movie, this is the night. "Hiroshima, this is your name," and "Your name is Navarre. The Navarre of France," these timeless lines were the last words spoken by this couple as they parted. A French woman and a Japanese man meet by chance, fall deeply in love, but this love is born in the atomic-bombed city of Hiroshima. It is destined to be a love that is suppressed, short-lived yet eternal, much like the love between this French woman and a German soldier who occupied France during the war in Navarre.
