Figures of the Republic of China in Taiwan
About This Novel
"Characters of the Republic of China in Taiwan" tells the story of the life experiences of senior figures of the Kuomintang after their defeat in Taiwan. The author uses documentary techniques to describe in detail the fate of ten influential figures in modern Chinese history: Yan Xishan, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, He Yingqin, Hu Zongnan, Wu Zhihui, Yu Youren, Sun Ke, Chen Lifu, and Yan Jiagan, especially their situations after following Chiang Kai-shek's defeat in Taiwan. In Taiwan, Chen Cheng, who is known as the "pocket version of Chiang Kai-shek," has an increasingly complicated and subtle relationship with the Chiangs and his sons; Chen Lifu, the "CC faction" who was extremely powerful in the mainland, left for the United States and became a "professional chicken farmer"; Bai Chongxi, who has killed countless enemies in the past, never expected that his life would always be between the nods and shakes of others, with just the slightest pull of the trigger...
