The Exile (1x2)

Date de diffusion: Mar 12, 1996

Riku Isshin grew up to be a brilliant young man. However, when the Cultural Revolution began in 1966, he was falsely accused of being a Japanese spy. He was sent to a labor reformatory, where he was forced to work hard at dam construction and other hard labor. For solace in such a life, he had memories of his best friend Yuan Rikibon and his college sweetheart Tan Qing, and in August 1970, his biological father Koji Matsumoto, now in Japan, attended a memorial service for the Manchurian Settler Communities in his hometown of Nagano and heard stories about the search for his relatives who had remained in Japan after the Chinese occupation.
