About This Novel
In the summer of 1938, after a few days of heavy rain with a vengeance, a group of Taiwanese came to Chong'an City among the high mountains in northern Fujian. Fang Meicui pulled her mother Shi Yurong's clothes onto the steamer deck from Hongshanqiao Pier in Fuzhou, carrying a baggage as thin as an animal skin. The Kuomintang government issued an oral order, and the Taiwanese civilian ship had a small number of people, and the trip was in a hurry, so it was light and simple. They were almost escorted onto the ship, and the conductor's attitude was as cool as the morning breeze. They went north along the Min River, and the steamboat traveled for a day and a night. When they docked at the Yanping Pier in central Min, fog filled the Min River, and the cascading mountain towns and houses revealed ghostly gray shadows in the fog. Fang Meicui was as obedient as a sick cat, clinging tightly to Shi Yurong's side, her eyes full of timidity, fear and questions.
