Guo Moruo, prior to coming to Japan in 1914, got married with a woman his parents had determined. He could not feel affection for his wife, and engaged in free love with Sato Tomi, a Japanese woman he met after coming to Japan, leading to marriage with her out of legal system.It should have been a longed love and an ideal marriage for Guo Moruo who experienced love only after coming to Japan. Nevertheless, upon going beyond Platonic relations, their love turned something undutiful and inadmissible to him because he could not give his virginity in spite of destroying her virginity. As a consequence, many of his love poems somehow cast a dark shadow.Young men in the intellectual class of Japan at that time were supposed to be going to live a life as an elite bearing the destiny of the state on his shoulders. However, as a matter of fact, they agonized about their love in connection with their family (parents) rather than about the connection between an individual and the state. The self of Guo Moruo awakened in Japan was that of Chinese students, nevertheless, it was the same agony among young men in Japanese intellectual class in the Taisho Era. Guo Moruo agonized in the Taisho Era in Japan about the issues concerning family and concerning an individual. Guo Moruo performed creative activities amid such agony, resulting in love with his sweetheart accompanying something unpleasant, which influenced on his works noticeably.
