The Dead of Asia:Kobo Abe's Manchuria Regional Space Writing
The regional image of"Manchuria"in Kobo Abe's work Beasts Run to Hometown gen-erally presents three completely different spatial forms,namely,"Manchuria Plain natural geograph-ical space","modern colonial urban space"and"closed specific space",which can reflect the strugg-ling psychology of the Japanese returning population who have been struggling to find their"home-land"and"spiritual homeland"after Japan's defeat,as well as the author's personal profound reflec-tion on the relationship between"hometown of life"and"hometown of existence",thus containing profound literary connotations and symbolic meanings.
