What's the difference between Japanese culture and China culture? For example, Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Forest, some people will say that there is no editing because of cultural differences.

In a word, China is an independent country with its own characteristics, history and culture, and its cultural quality is the most mature. Japan, first influenced by our Han and Tang cultures, later turned to learn from the West and once "left Asia and entered Europe". Its culture is half China and half Western, so their monks can be more open and wear kimonos and suits. This is a cultural gathering. In addition, they have remnants of militarism from the war, and we were obviously affected by the war of that year.

So, you are right, we are different from them. The example you gave is also correct. The most intuitive expression of "surname" in the book is obviously different from ours.
