About This Novel

From his retreat to Taiwan with the Kuomintang troops in 1949 to his immigration to the United States in 1978, the author spent three "decades" feeling and recording Taiwan's great history and his own small joys and sorrows from a personal perspective. The "literary world" that the author personally experienced is a microcosm of Taiwan's changes over the past thirty years, from the embarrassment and confusion in the early 1950s, to the humiliation and panic during the White Terror, to the "psychological exhaustion" during the Cold War, and when Taiwan's economic take-off and the ambition to "counterattack the mainland" became a laughing stock, he had no choice but to choose to take root.
