Taiwan's Four Hundred Years: Hardcover Collector's Edition (2024 Edition)
by Xu Zhuoyun
About This Novel
Xu Zhuoyun, a great historian, uses his grand historian's vision and emotional language to describe for us the historical context and the ups and downs of Taiwan over the past four hundred years: Starting from the Age of Discovery in the 16th century, Taiwan experienced Dutch colonization, the Zheng Group, the Qing government, Japanese colonization and the rule of the Kuomintang regime, and has never been free from the entanglement of local, mainland and world factors. He analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Taiwan's development from the aspects of geographical environment, political economy, humanities and society, and cross-strait relations, and expressed the concerns and expectations of a generation of scholars for the future of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. "This book is not an information book, but a book about the spirit and predicament of Taiwanese people today." Unlike Xu Zhuoyun's other historical writings, what he states in this book is not others, but himself. This book can be described as a "passionate work" written by a 94-year-old man to compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
