【Content Introduction】

This book is a non-fiction work by Japanese writer Junko Uchizawa. The author wrote it based on her own personal experience. It records that after the author moved from Tokyo to Shodoshima in early 2014, she met male A and broke up after dating for 8 months. Male A was dissatisfied with the breakup and became an obsessive and violent stalker. He stalked and harassed the author's life every day, and his behavior continued to escalate, even to the point of threatening and harming the author. After the police intervention was still unsuccessful, the author began to fight wits and courage with male A. Through various self-defense methods and legal channels, the stalker male A finally fell into the trap, leaving evidence of the crime, and finally brought male A to justice. In 2018, the author serialized the story of the anti-stalking struggle against male A in 700 days in "Literary Weekly", which became a social topic with a strong response in Japan. Due to its high popularity and social topicality, it was published as a book in May 2019, and sales exceeded 50,000 copies in 2 months.

And everything I did was just to protect my own dignity. - Uchizawa Junko
