Starting from the prehistoric origins of Taiwan Island and the history of the 17th century, eighty stories are used to draw out a chain that runs through Taiwan's ancient and modern times. The story is basically divided into three parts: 1. The history of Taiwan, including the history of the ancestors, the occupation by the Dutch and Spanish, Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan and the end of the Zheng family's rule in the Qing Dynasty, and Japan's colonization of Taiwan after the Sino-French War and the Sino-Japanese War. The book is equipped with precious historical photos, presenting Taiwan's history, products, social life, economic development, the times in different periods, living customs, cultural and artistic activities, etc. In a multi-faceted manner.

This book describes from the disappeared Ketagalan people, to the revolutionary Jian Ji with his violin, Jian E and Tang Dezhang drifting in the hurricane of the great era, to the great changes in 1945, the silent mother Lin Jiangmai in "228", and the general Li Youbang in the fog... These warm and sad years are vivid and absurd.

This autobiographical novel not only has an attractive plot with ups and downs, but also shows the enlightening and thought-provoking aspects of the changing times. The author attempts to use stories to show the social life history of ordinary rural people in Taiwan's economic development process and the stories behind the "Taiwan Economic Miracle", and to see through the life picture of Taiwan's rural areas and the difficulties and hardships in the transformation to an industrial society and a commercial society over the past century. And those scenes that seem familiar during the rapid development process are worthy of deep thought and reference by mainland readers.
