China DailyBy JIANG XUEQING in Tokyo | China Daily Global | Updated: 2024-05-17 09:52 Poster of the documentary film The Yangtze River by Ryo Takeuchi. "I always had an obsession with learning Chinese and understanding China before going to film the Yangtze River again." "After watching this movie, many Japanese will definitely want to visit China," Takeuchi said, adding that he hopes he has provided them with an opportunity to visit China. In 2014, he and his wife founded the Nanjing Hezhimeng Culture Communication Company, where he tried to introduce Japanese culture to Chinese people by telling stories about Chinese people living in Japan. After Japan's defeat in World War II in 1945, when the Japanese army withdrew from China, some Japanese children were abandoned in China and later adopted by Chinese families.
