A Spirit of the Sun - S01

On August 10, 2002, the eruption of Mount Fuji, along with a series of large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis, causes tremendous damage to Japan and sends the country into a state of emergency. Then, on August 15, another massive earthquake hits Japan and splits the country in two. Japanese refugees are taken in by various countries, while the Japanese government accepts aid from China and the United States, which eventually leads to China governing the North and the USA governing the South. Fifteen years later, the Japanese refugees living in Taiwan and Taiwanese citizens find themselves clashing with one another because of job competition and the unimproving conditions of the Japanese refugees. Genichiro Ryu is a survivor of the catastrophic events that took place in Japan, but he was raised in Taiwan by a couple who adopted him. He gets himself involved in the situation between the Taiwanese and the Japanese, hoping that the two parties will be able to coexist with one another.
