Reader comments
As a foreigner who moved to Baodao with his father, this article objectively and truly reflects the society, politics, study, life, etc. Of Baodao at that time. It is not far from the facts, but also uses a humorous style to make people think and compare, making people laugh from the heart.
Everything about Baodao has been satisfied in the author's writing, and thus one has varying degrees of knowledge and understanding of part of Baodao's history, people's livelihood, etc. We are both members of the Chinese dynasty, and we are both proud and proud of each other. We share the sorrow of our country being invaded and occupied, and we also lament the feud between our brothers. BUt, after all, blood is thicker than water, and we share the same ancestry and species.
The writing is very real and objective, and does not involve personal political stance. It allows me to see a very clear contrast to the 1960s.
It is a very interesting book, and the reading process is very relaxing and enjoyable. Even when it describes the difficult years, it makes people feel interesting and uplifting.
Thanks to the author for letting me understand the real life scenes of the Taiwanese people along the way. Learn about the past of Dutch and Japanese residents in Taiwan; the historical background of the rise of underworld organizations and martial arts novels; the estrangement and alienation between outsiders and introverts;
What impressed me deeply was the inheritance. A serious century-old store sells only the same snacks. For example, if "Du Xiaoyue" sells noodles, it must also declare that it is "Zhou's Shrimp Roll" if it also sells shrimp rolls, and it must declare that it is "Black Bridge Sausage" if it also sells sausages. I think this is respect, integrity, and inheritance in the true sense, unlike the "century-old stores" that fill the streets now.
It is humorous, easy to understand, vivid, objective and true. It is a good book and worth recommending! [Adoration][Adoration][Admiration]
I really like this kind of interesting historical facts that I am usually not familiar with. It looks good. Are there any others like this? More!
To put it to the extreme, there are actually some parts of this article that are not very suitable for students who have not fully established their three views - they are harmful to the anti-Japanese atmosphere of our country's young generation.
If you have a good impression of Japan because of anime or something, and if something seems wrong (such as assuming in your mind "if Japan wins"), remember to read the list of Japan's crimes in the war of aggression against China.
Adults with complete outlook on life have no problem.
Let us ordinary people understand the real life of the people of Baodao! Very good👍I can't stop! I can't wait to read it in one sitting [Love]
Is there any follow-up? The ending is too fast and the series is still not finished.
The past decades of Taiwan's development are presented through one's own life experiences. The only regret is how the Chiang family stepped down. This part is missing.
This book gives people a more comprehensive understanding of Taiwan's status during that period of relative prohibition and non-interaction. It gives people mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. I hope Taiwan will return to the embrace of the motherland as soon as possible!
It's the same story, same species, many scenes are exactly the same as ours, the perspective of ordinary people, the lives of ordinary people, it's great!
Use ordinary people's writing style to write the development history and life history of the mysterious treasure island of Taiwan. Readable!
It's pretty and funny.
It's very intimate and feels very real.
A feeling of familiarity and strangeness.
A comprehensive true story!
Very interesting book
I feel like I haven't finished writing and I still have more to read.
If you write further, you will become a banned book [laughing and crying]
For the first time, everyone has a general understanding of Taiwan.
Thank you author! Saw the modern times of Baodao
There is a reason why Taiwan can become one of the Four Asian Tigers
Yes, but why are there duplicates? There is a kind of book that records stories that happened in a corner of the world. It is not recognized by many people, but most people have vague and contradictory images of various aspects of it for various reasons. I think so, so I had the idea of reading it, and I wanted to be like a person who looks up at the moon. New world, new perspective, new experience.
Humorous and relaxed language, detailed and comprehensive description of childhood life
It reminds me of my childhood life
Very good, I learned a lot more about Taiwan.
Very good, very good, very interesting and memorable, compare and understand.
Only by understanding can you know why
