“The Emperor’s Nightingale” is an ancient Chinese fairytale about an artist nightingale, whose magic song is the only cure for the Emperor who lost his dreams during numerous wars. But, the nightingale cannot sing in a cage in which the Emperor keeps him closed. The Emperor who doesn’t understand the artist sees this as misbehavior. He gets an artificial nightingale “Made in Japan”, wanting to replace the original one, but the artificial nightingale repeats one and the same war song till its self destruction which makes the Emperor feeling even worse
The Emperor realizes that he has to change his behavior towards the artist nightingale
