About the book: 1954 / For many years, due to the nature of his professional work, A. Veshinin had to deal with the history and current situation of the countries of Asia - China, Japan, Korea. This also determined his creative interests related to the themes of the life and struggle of the peoples of Asia for freedom, peace, and national self-determination. His story “Swimming Against the Tide” - about the participation of Japanese schoolchildren in the peace movement - has already gone through several editions and has now been translated into Chinese.
