Strait Tenderness
by Ye Yonglie
About This Novel
This book is the second part of the "Shanghai Trilogy", a long series by the famous writer Ye Yonglie, which tells the story of the love-hate entanglement between Zhu and Jiang families on Tamsui Road in Shanghai for hundreds of years. The son of the Zhu family, Zhu Jinyu, is an intelligence expert of the CCP. The son of the Jiang family, Jiang Chuanxian, is an economic confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, and his childhood friend has become his rival. After 1949, the Zhu and Jiang families were separated by the Taiwan Strait, but their descendants had complicated grievances and entanglements. The most legendary is the experience of Jiang Chuanxian's eldest son Jiang Bolun. He traveled back and forth between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait like a pendulum. He was arrested four times, married three times, and suffered several emotional setbacks. This reflects the complicated history of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The strait runs between the Zhu and Jiang families, but it blocks the lingering tenderness. Their connection is broken and their love is still lingering, and one day they will get together again. "Strait Tenderness" sings a long song of family and country that "breaks the bones and connects the tendons".
