Abstract:From March to April of 1965, Lao She led a delegation of Chinese writers including Liu Baiyu, Zhang Guangnian, Du Xuan and Ru Zhijuan to visit Japan. Lao She recorded a lot of details in his diary, but his language was cautious and his emotions were restrained. His old-style poem creation expressed his deep friendship with Japanese friends.Lao She worked hard to convey the goodwill from China to Japanese writers, and his image in the eyes of Japanese writers has become increasingly clear after the precipitation of history.The media interviews and conversations with the writers at that time reflected the Japanese cultural circles' attention to the Chinese literary world, and entrusted China's vision of the “Asian Renaissance” and the building of an Asian-African community.The experience of mutual visits between Chinese and Japanese writers in the 1960s provided a new way for literary exchanges between the two countries, making possible future political and economic cooperation, and laying a solid foundation for the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations in the 1970s.
