Asian expert and Japanese film scholar Ian Buruma discusses his new novel, The China Lover, based on the life and career of actress Yoshiko (Shirley) Yamaguchi. Japanese by nationality, she was born in 1920 in Manchuria and for a time was known as Ri Koran. Her first films took place during the time of Japan's strong presence in China, and her personality was split between Chinese solidarity and a love affair with Japanese nation builders.
