The article describes some arguments about the trustworthiness and reality at the end of it. In addition to those arguments, I think the novel has a couple of problems. Definitely, wars have been regarded as unacceptable violence through our history. However, there also have existed the people who are more responsible to the wars. In the WWII, Japan is also regarded as a principal criminal. If the author of the novel really wanted to describe why we should avoid and reject war, she should also stated about what Japan had done to all other nearby counties including Australia, China, Korea, Philippines, United States, and other countries. Japanese had ill-treated, exploited, and murdered innumerable people as well as citizens in the counties during the WWII. But, in the novel, those facts are not mentioned, and it just describes the author was also a victim from the war. It can be true, but it's pretty unfair. She could survive, and stated somethings what she suffered that she insists. However, the novel is definitely insulting people who were the victims by Japan because she mentioned only that Japanese were the victims by the war.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkfadms (talk • contribs) 2007-02-05T05:10:23 (UTC)
According to JoongAngdaily of Korea, “So Far From the Bamboo Grove” has been banned in China and Japan since its initial publication.[1]". It's a wrong information. The book is not published in Japanese, but the imported English written book is sold in several book shops such as amazon.co.jp. I don't know the situation in China, however, I'm sure the source is not reliable. Usually, books are not banned in Japan.--Mochi 13:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Corrected information, Japan refused to publish it. "한글판은 특히 일본 출판사가 이 책의 일본어판 출판을 거부했으며, 중국에서도 이 책이 금서로 지정됐다고 소개했다." It says that Japanese publishers refused to publish a Japanese version of the book while it is banned in China.

"A Japanese publisher refused the book" or "Japanese publishers refused the book" are different. I read the Empas's article via machine translation, and could not recognize about this point. There are so many publishers in Japan. It's hard to consider all major Japanese publishers refused. We can not know why the book is published in Japanese, so it shold simply be described that the book is not published in Japanese in Japan.--Mochi 08:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
"Japan has refused to publish this book" There is no subject who in Japan refused. Could you explain to us who refused this?
Korean papers are sometimes lost in wild fancies.--Uriry 03:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
I have not read the book. But I found a simple misunderstanding by Korean people. According to several news, the Yoko's father worked in South Manchuria Railway. It was a rail compay, not Army nor Unit 731. South Korean media say her father was arrested by Soviet Union, this may because he was a member of Unit 731[2]. One million Japanese people were arrested by Soviet Union and forced to work in Siberia. So the deducation seems wrong.
Furthermore, her father's job is not related to what Yoko wrote.--Mochi 13:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
>父は満州鉄道会社行政部門で働いていた。
She said that her father was stuff of Manchuria Railway Company[3]. He was not a military medical officer.--NAZONAZO (talk) 04:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'd just like to say... It says the family settled in the Hamgyeong area. There was description of bamboo in Hamgyeong district. Bamboo? Don't be daft. Bamboo grows in subtropical regions. Therefore, the bamboo could not possibly grow where they said it would. the book seems inaccurate. (PRhyu 11:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC))

This is clearly a historical fact, "Japanese prisoners of war in the Soviet Union is not related to the war crime. The Japanese who had become the captive of a Soviet federation was indiscriminately restrained."Blue011011 (talk) 13:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Tendentious editing. Content disputes are not vandalism. миражinred (speak, my child...) 01:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Edit war between User:Saranghae honey and other Japanese users
Users such as User:Blue011011 (who has been inactive) and User:Amazonfire has reverted my edits calling me a "troll," "authoritarian" or "vandal" and accuses me of censoring. (See the edit summaries) They have been engaged in Wikipedia:tendentious editing. Being Korean myself, I am not sure that I have an objective view or at least would like a comment from a third party to make sure that the article is neutral. миражinred (speak, my child...) 01:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Amazonfire's edits and conducts
I know that the article is far from perfect, not to mention that the "controversy" was months ago. I would like to see the section condensed with more sources. Amazonfire's unproductive conduct will not help make this happen. миражinred (speak, my child...) 02:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
User:Amazonfire created the account almost one years ago, but just left one log at that times. And then he suddenly appeared here with the same writing style of Blue011011 and ip users with (odn.ad.jp) host. Interesting indeed.
I should've reported the possible 3RR violation with sockpuppetry on this article like below. If anon with dion.ne.jp or odn.ad.jp or any possible open proxy user appear at this article to avoid seeming 3RR violation, I won't hesitate about this matter from now. I think the below example is still worth to watch it again.
Someone says that the ip network is widely used in Japan, but I know so many bandwidth exists there. I have a list about over 40 different Japanese IP hosts which are also partial of Japanese internet service. Judging by similar writing style and dynamic ip range of the same ip designation, we shouldn't condone this behaviors.
Please keep in mind that sockpuppetry is prohibited in Wiki. And meatpuppet or Canvassing via Email , talkpage or outside message board to get supports from the same party are not good moves to reach a general consensus from each side. Moreover, please don't leave insulting comments at the edit summary like vandal or troll unless an obvious vandalism are shown. From the other side, the claimer can be viewed just as such. If someone wants to remove or adds something controversial, please use this talk page first before blindly reverting which causes just unproductive edit warrings. Thanks. --Appletrees (talk) 13:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
I have received information about the book that it is no longer language arts or something, by Yonhap News(Korean). The link is here. Mydoctor93 (talk) 03:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC) (Oops, I almost forgot to sign.)
I am now going to edit this with the latest information I got. Mydoctor93 (talk) 03:50, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Someone must have done it before me i think. Mydoctor93 (talk) 03:51, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
I wonder why Sennen goroshi (talk · contribs) only inserted "half information" regarding the decision of several regions of U.S removing the book from the curriculum and reading lists. The removal was due to "racist" and "sexual content" in the book according to this news source, [6] but he only added "sexual content". Such half addition of the info could mislead the article and readers, so please "stick to sources". Thanks.--Caspian blue 16:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
I removed the bad reference complained of from Daum and added a new reference. Please stop removing proper citations.Melonbarmonster2 (talk) 21:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
The "See also" section has listed entries to wiki articles that don't have information with respect to Japanese victims, literature during the WWII, notably Japanese history textbook controversies. I dispute that they should be included in the links. I can definitely point out a purpose for all the links however, they crudely serves to take the focus away from the experiences of the author and others alike to explore Japanese war crimes and stir anti-Japanese sentiment. The "Controversies" section already has similar links to Japanese war crimes and the Korean occupation of Korea used as rhetoric for Korean nationalism. One can only assume that allusions to Japanese war crimes are poorly contrived attempts to discredit the events that depict some Korean males as rapists in the novel.
