In 1949, Chen Gensheng, a farmer from Jiangsu Province, was arrested half a month after his wedding. He was taken across the sea to Taiwan and settled in Kaohsiung. From cannon fodder to the leader of Kaohsiung's underworld, from a worker carrying bags at the dock to a well-known infrastructure tycoon in Taiwan, across half a century of ups and downs, he has only one obsession in his life: to live and go home.
Reader comments
The perspective of this subject is rare. The author writes vigorously and has flesh and blood. I shed tears when I read it. Before, I only learned about the situation of veterans, military dependents, and the government through documentaries. Here, I look at the entire era from the perspective of an ordinary person. It really makes me dream back to those days. I like the author's style of writing
The story is real and vivid, making you want to listen to it. At the same time, I also learned about the painful life of Taiwanese veterans. I thought they were just living in a high-pressure political environment, but now I know that the economy is also in such a tight situation. How miserable! Thank you Mr. Sakuto! 🙏🏼🌹👍
It's so well written. Few people think about how ants in this era can survive from the perspective of an ordinary person.
The author's writing style is very delicate and the writing is very realistic.
There are few articles that are plain and non-violent. Although they are not exciting enough, they can make people read.
Very well written, the story of a deserter
I like to hear the truth. [Praise]
Well written, I love listening to it!
We are all Chinese
It was so difficult for people in that era, and the writing was so good, indeed
I felt so bad after reading it [I almost cried] I wrote a few hundred words twice and thought about it before deleting it. I give it five stars [like]
As a native of Lianshui, I really resonate with this book after reading it.
It's very real. I cried several times during the process. I seemed to feel the helplessness and sadness of the veterans back then. Five-star praise [Love]
It's really well written, I just hope it doesn't make you feel appetizing. Thank you.
