Summary:
This book is an autobiography by Kang-i Sun Chang, a renowned sinologist and professor of Chinese literature at Yale University. It recounts her childhood and adolescence in Taiwan during the 'White Terror' (1947–1987), a period of political repression, and her eventual emigration to the United States. Central to the narrative is the decade between 1950 and 1960, during which her father, Paul Sun, was imprisoned for political reasons. The book interweaves lesser-known historical facts about early political developments in the Republic of China on Taiwan with a vivid depiction of one family's struggle during this turbulent time. It offers insights into the post-war circumstances that shaped Taiwan's path to becoming an independent state and broadens understanding of China's fate in the latter half of the 20th century. Despite its serious themes, the book provides an engaging literary experience, appealing to readers interested in history, politics, and personal narratives. Generated by AI.
