Biography
Morohoshi was born in Kushiro city in Hokkaido prefecture and spent young days in Sapporo city. He studied Chinese modern literature at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. He worked at the Hokkaido Shimbun Press for a while, and went on to a master's course of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies to study Chinese modern history and culture.[1] He went abroad to Wuhan University and Peking University to study Chinese modern literature.[2] He basically estimates Chinese economic reform and regards Maoism as fascism, and also considers supporters of the Chinese Cultural Revolution as fascists.[3][4] He strictly criticizes Maoism as well as a Japanese journalist Katsuichi Honda, whom he charges with concealing his standpoint as a Maoist even though he admired the Chinese Cultural Revolution.[5][6] When he was a university student, he wrote a feature story about Sanya (Japanese slum in Tokyo) in the newspaper of the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.[7]
