"Our love is FORBIDDEN, but it can’t be helped" | Kenji Matsumoto and Li Mei

The love story of Kenji Matsumoto and Li Mei (1937): 

Kenji Matsumoto, a young soldier conscripted to the JAPANESE imperial army, was taken from his university and stationed outside Yan’an. 

While patrolling the countryside, he met a beautiful CHINESE peasant girl by the name of Li Mei. 

Between them, under the cover of darkness, a forbidden love was forged.
