I deeply feel that how I capture the profound changes of this unique historical period in my interviews is far more significant than simply tracing the development of my own life. Memoirs inevitably vary depending on individual circumstances. Having spent my life in research and teaching, my recollections can only roam within the realms of scholarship, thought, and culture. Needless to say, the changes I have experienced have also been shaped by this particular sphere. I hope my recollections can contribute to a deeper understanding of this period of historical change. I also believe that other scholars of my generation will undoubtedly leave their memories in different ways. The more recollections like this, the better, as they can cross-check similarities and contrast differences. Another motivation for publishing this \"Memoir\" is to inspire others to reminisce about the past. If I may be allowed one more extravagant hope, I would say that the personal learning and thinking journey I recount in my \"Memoirs,\" regardless of its gains and losses, may serve as a reference for a new generation of students. —Yu Ying-shih The long-awaited masterpiece \"Yu Ying-shih Memoirs,\" a global leader in Chinese studies, has finally been published.

More importantly, his long-standing political stance, unwavering in the face of various temptations, remains a towering figure. This memoir captures his emotional journey from childhood to his studies, the twists and turns that have shaped his profound and ever-reflective life, intertwined with the changing times.

New dynasties would revise the history of the previous dynasty to prove their right to rule by claiming the \"Mandate of Heaven.\" In contemporary China, the Chinese Communist Party, inheriting the \"virtues\" of its ancestors, is willing to distort history, whitewash mistakes, and conceal facts to embellish its rule in order to consolidate its power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, a magazine called \"Spark,\" born in a labor camp in rural northwest China in 1960, changed all that. At the time, China was ravaged by a famine caused by human negligence, with tens of millions dying across the country, yet the news remained largely unknown. Among the few who knew, a group of university students sent to the countryside became part of the group. With knowledge in their heads, pens in their hands, and a deep sense of vengeance in their hearts, they founded \"Spark.\" The inaugural issue contained only eight pages, devoid of photos or illustrations, yet every word expressed their indignation and anger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Why did the once progressive Communist Party become so corrupt and reactionary after less than a decade in power?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"When millions and tens of millions of farmers died of hunger in their beds, on trains, on the railways, at the bottom of ditches...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unfortunately, the Chinese Communist regime would not tolerate such rebellious behavior. The young people who founded Spark received prison sentences ranging from ten to fifteen years, and some were even brutally executed. Ultimately, Spark magazine only produced a print run of thirty-odd copies. Like a fleeting spark, it posed no threat to the regime, and this episode in history was hushed up and rewritten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e More than fifty years later, a group of independent Chinese journalists, writers, and directors stumbled upon the story of \"Spark,\" finding witnesses and survivors of the incident. These self-proclaimed \"underground historians\" not only unearthed \"Spark's\" story but also sought to challenge the official historical narrative of the Anti-Rightist Movement, the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the SARS epidemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic, uncovering the truth beneath the Chinese Communist regime's lies.

With Spark, he turns his attention to history—not the official history that has been censored, selected, and promoted by the Communist Party, but the independent history written and filmed by courageous people across China who have defied the powerful. This book is a powerful reminder that China's future will depend on who controls its past. —Peter Hessler, journalist and author of the \"China Trilogy\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ▸We would never have known these stories.

Yet, we've rarely delved deeply into the meaning and history behind them. Why is \"Kinmen\" so important? To understand Taiwan's secret history, we must begin with the stories of Kinmen and Matsu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A tangled, complex, and multifaceted border. Kinmen and Matsu are a complex and winding frontier, always difficult to interpret and filled with multiple meanings. Once a frontline anti-communist bastion, it served as a symbol of official morale-boosting in Taiwan. However, due to unique historical circumstances, it was once divided into two separate seas, separating Taiwan.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe fate of Kinmen and Matsu is deeply intertwined with war. From 1956 to 1992, shaped by a \"wartime politics\" system that blurred the lines between military and civilian life, even as Taiwan was experiencing its \"economic miracle,\" Kinmen and Matsu relied on the \"military-based economy\" for survival, seemingly living in a time of critical commentary. However, when cross-strait thaws and the troops departed, residents worried about their livelihoods and the lack of recognition for their sacrifices in the new era of Taiwan. Today, Kinmen and Matsu are at the forefront of the dangers and pressures of the US-China rivalry and regional political instability. In 2022, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. While Taiwanese residents enthusiastically welcomed her and snapped photos of the historic moment, residents of Kinmen and Matsu heard the sounds of ROC fighter jets taking off and the possibility of renewed war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Looking back from the border, we never really understand \"Taiwan\"\u003cbr\u003e \"The Broken Sea\" is a new-era \"Golden Horse Book\" written over five years by two journalists from Taiwan and Penghu.

Besides Nai Benlu's mountain, you also visit Taiwan's underground music scene in the 1990s, and even 228 National Park amid the ravages of Covid-19.

Unlike the literati who retreated to traditional spheres, they actively collaborated with disadvantaged and marginalized groups. Unlike the public intellectuals of the 1980s who loudly advocated for democracy and modernity, they strongly opposed the rhetoric of the elite. They proclaimed the independence of thought and action and took pride in being \"civilian\"—unofficial, unorganized, and among the people.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book profiles a group of grassroots thinkers and activists who are profoundly transforming China's public culture. They include amateur historians who challenge official narratives, independent directors who give voice to the people, and human rights lawyers and NGO workers who share practical knowledge.

While this book focuses on the transformation of intellectuals after the Tiananmen Square incident, the civil society, as a social network of resistance, can permeate interpretations of modern Chinese history. The intervention of grassroots intellectuals injected new energy into traditional Chinese civil society and redefined it. Wei Jian concludes by stating that the term \"civil society\" highlights the conditional nature of citizenship in China today, as civil society actors may not necessarily possess a full awareness of their citizenship rights. While civil society is not the same as civil society, the author believes that this book provides a new understanding of the evolving state-society relationship in China and offers a new critical perspective on Western civil society theory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eZhao Sile, journalist and author of \"Their Journey,\" Regarding a research monograph on a little-known aspect of China, the most crucial question to assess its value must be returned to: Does it capture the essential characteristics of a crucial aspect and present it reliably? As a journalist and author who has spent many years researching and writing about China's civil rights movements, I believe the answer to both questions is yes. China's emerging intellectual community tends to discuss specific social issues, positioning itself and focusing on issues closer to the lower classes and disadvantaged groups.

After the Tiananmen Square Massacre, dissidents never remained silent. They presented their critiques through reporting on social issues, recording oral histories of state violence, documenting them through documentary and artistic creation, and advocating for human rights. They rewrote the tradition of Chinese intellectuals since the May Fourth Movement, abandoning the elitist mentality of claiming to be the conscience of society, rejecting the comfortable academic system, and actively embracing commercialized media and online platforms. Under Xi Jinping's leadership, the situation of this group of grassroots intellectuals has become even more difficult, and a new generation of dissidents will continue to speak out through different postures and channels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For contemporary intellectuals, how can \"civil society\" exist beyond the realm of the underworld and the shady? How can grand beliefs be transformed into daily grassroots action? These two questions are crucial in every society. However, the personal actions of a few activists, often at the grassroots level, are fragmented and fragile, rarely recorded in historical records. The Wei Jian's arrangement provides a relatively complete and valuable historical record.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLi Zhide, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Mirror Literature, was overcome with a deep sense of regret after reading Wei Jian's \"Among the People\": China has lost so many intellectuals and professionals who were willing to pursue civilization and dedicate themselves; and how many opportunities and possibilities for China to be more advanced than it is today have been lost under the rule of a totalitarian government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lin Mumu\/Curator of the Taiwan International Documentary Film Festival. Given the current political context in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the publication of Wei Jian's new book, \"Among the People,\" in Taiwan is undoubtedly significant. If \"intellectual\" signifies a lofty independence and critical spirit, then Wei Jian's long-term observation, writing, and interviews not only chronicle this generation of Chinese intellectuals, but also explore the contradictions, survival, and transformation faced by intellectuals in this great era, as well as what intellectuals can become and what they can do once their seeds sprout among the people.

This absurd epiphany explores the intersection of Chinese society and the livestream universe. A strange world between landscape and prison, online and offline, reality and illusion—all part of our playful desires. Zhang Zanbo's writing is like a vibrant documentary film series, woven onto the page. [The book also includes field photography.]\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInner Mongolia, China, a vast grassland with blue skies and white clouds, wolves, white deer, and Mongolian horses—its dark side is characterized by land grabbing for tourism, animal exploitation for profit, ecological destruction, the decline of tradition, and the increasingly obsessive trend of livestreaming and photography. Billions of people in China browse livestreaming platforms daily, a diverse array of influencers has emerged, and bizarre scenes spread like a virus both online and offline. As the world's largest camera producer, vast hordes of amateur photographers flock to the vast mountains and rivers, using their high-end cameras to create a cookie-cutter \"collectivist aesthetic\" of scenic beauty, animal portraits, and beautiful women. However, internet celebrities and photographers turn a blind eye to the harsh reality around them. With the help of beauty filters and Photoshop technology, they strive to transform the world into a utopia of \"positive energy\" and \"peaceful times.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eZhang Zanbo lurked in the scenic landscapes of Inner Mongolia, closely observing the internet celebrities known as \"wolf anchors\" navigating the \"livestreaming universe.\" They transported the vast grasslands and \"wild wolves\" of thousands of miles to diverse locations online, profiting from fan rewards and product promotions. Meanwhile, the \"wolves\" dancing with the wolf anchors were confined to cages, sustenance dwindling to a diet of frozen chicken racks. Behind the \"beauties and wolves\" on mobile screens lies a complex calculation of traffic figures, layered upon layer of packaging through rhetoric and \"persona.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Influencers immerse themselves in the world of livestreaming, enjoying a dazzling array of digital gifts and the free love of their fans. They rack their brains to gain followers and become trending—sticking closely to the official, positive energy theme is the right path; straying too far can lead to downfall. In reality, influencers are like animals, disposable, disposable. When they're no longer popular, they create another one. Master and apprentice, and the journey begins anew! They continue to plunder natural scenery and animals, continuing their multi-faceted gaming life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOnce the emperor's hunting grounds, it has now become a tourist attraction, a collusion between officials and businessmen. The government's massive land expropriation has made life increasingly difficult for herders, who are forced to roam wherever there's water and pasture. Tourism tycoons, driven by dreams of fortune, plot their plans for the grasslands to generate ticket revenue while racking up wages for construction workers, guards, and horse trainers. Within the enclosed scenic area, cages of all kinds—wolves, horses, and deer—are erected for amateur photographers and tourists who, armed with cannons and cell phones, snap at the prey within, as if firing bullets without the gunpowder. Like their ancestor Genghis Khan, these young knights from Mongolia traveled thousands of miles just to work illegally in a foreign land. They had no job insurance and their wages were ripped off at every level. Their ancestors' glorious history and culture were quickly packaged into a \"tourist attraction\" at \"China speed\", and ultimately turned into a crudely made stage show for everyone to laugh at.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs the seasons change, winter turns to spring, and across this vast grassland, where natural landscapes overlap with man-made ones, and tourism and livestreaming industries thrive side by side, desires for money, fame, lust, power...all sorts of things flow undisguised. Deception, betrayal, violence, greed, oppression...numerous stories unfold at a dizzying pace, vividly painting a human world reflecting the current mental illness of Chinese people. Unruly, treacherous, treacherous, and ambitious—these animal-derived terms are actually human. Human society is the greatest animal world and jungle world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWorking alone and for extended periods in the countryside, Zhang Zanbo, through his pen and camera, coldly surveys the bizarre landscapes shaped by totalitarianism, capturing the absurd wonders of black humor and penetrating the bleak realities of contemporary China.

In 1936, Edgar Snow, a journalist from the American Midwest, traveled to northwestern China with the help of Song Qingling and the underground Chinese Communist Party. He visited Mao Zedong's new headquarters and wrote Red Star Over China. The book became a global bestseller, catapulting Mao Zedong to international prominence and political prominence. It spread Mao's ideas and his revolution to Indian nationalists, Chinese intellectuals, Soviet guerrillas, the US president, Malayan rebels, anti-apartheid fighters, Western radicals, Nepalese rebels, and many others. Maoism was therefore integrated with communist movements in various places, and Maoist China even provided them with spiritual and material support and resources for cultivating talents. \u003cbr\u003eMaoism revolutionized China and the world. Maoism is a potent combination of party-building discipline, anti-colonial rebellion, and \"continuous revolution,\" grafted onto the secular creed of Soviet Marxism. It has not only shed light on China's contemporary history but has also profoundly influenced the global tide of rebellion, disobedience, and intolerance over the past eighty years. However, outside of China, and particularly in the West, the global spread of Mao Zedong and his thought, and their significance in the history of contemporary radicalism, are largely unappreciated. With the end of the Cold War, the clear global triumph of neoliberal capitalism, and the resurgence of religious extremism, Mao Zedong and his thought were erased. This book aims to bring Mao Zedong and his thought back to the forefront and reshape Maoism. Studying the history of global Maoism has very important implications for contemporary challenges around the world. \u003cbr\u003eA significant work exploring the diversity and comprehensiveness of Maoism. Exploring global Maoism is crucial not only for understanding Chinese history but also for understanding radical politics in many parts of the world. Maoism, in particular, emerged as an international force during the era of decolonization. In developing countries, Maoism's anti-imperialist message captivated people who were economically, politically, and culturally oppressed. They yearned for the living standards and international respect of Western industrialized nations. Despite the end of the Cold War, poverty and inequality persist. As Europe grapples with the migration crisis caused by poverty and political instability, this book offers a window into the past and present, exploring the radicalism born of material and political despair and its consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, the author re-evaluates Maoism as a force influencing China and even the world.","brand":"麥田","offers":[{"title":"繁體中文\/Traditional Chinese \/ 平装\/Paperback","offer_id":46478501019887,"sku":"9786263101517","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/getImage_c8f7a130-b30a-450b-990a-52389ff8fa7b.webp?v=1748032312"},{"product_id":"香港百年-9789865534448","title":"Centennial of Hong Kong","description":"From dai pai dongs to the charm of old Hong Kong, from architectural splendor to street scenes, this collection includes over a hundred hand-drawn illustrations, each one a stroke close to the hearts of Hong Kong people, depicting their collective memories. \u003cbr\u003eWitness the old and new scenes, the warmest and most tender narration~\u003cbr\u003e What is a \"snake sinus\"?

Located on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, Wenchuan, known since ancient times as the \"Gateway to Shudu,\" is a typical county-level region. It's neither large nor small, encompassing ten townships, all nestled in hilly terrain. It's poorer than counties in the southeast, but wealthier than those in the west.

People often assume that parenting is the concern of individual parents. However, faced with the uncertain future of globalization, growing class inequality, and various invisible structural forces and social boundaries, today's generation of parents is collectively feeling anxious and uneasy. \u003cbr\u003eFaced with a seemingly insecure and uncertain future, contemporary Taiwanese parents are adopting various educational and parenting strategies in an attempt to ensure the well-being of the next generation. Ironically, these safety strategies often make us feel even less secure.\u003cbr\u003e From striving for economic success to striving for parenting, parents who grew up in Taiwan's \"economically competitive\" era now prioritize parenting. They yearn to break free from the shadows of corporal punishment and the college entrance exam, becoming parents who differ significantly from their predecessors. They also hope that their children will have greater abilities and opportunities to explore the world in this globalized world. Despite having more resources than ever before, this generation of parents is increasingly anxious about parenting, constantly wondering if they are doing too little, too much, not doing it well, or doing it wrong. \u003cbr\u003eVisibly Viewing Contemporary Taiwan Through Parenting Anxiety: This book uses parenting anxiety as a lens to reveal the risks and challenges Taiwan faces in the context of globalization, including a relatively stagnant local economy and wages, closer integration and competition with global capitalism, and the uncertainty of industrial change. The widening class gap is shaping the unequal childhoods of many children through parenting.\u003cbr\u003e Lan Pei-chia, Distinguished Professor of Sociology at National Taiwan University, continues her observation and exploration of social inequality in \"A Transnational Cinderella.\" From cities to rural areas, she conducts in-depth field interviews with nearly 60 families and conducts on-site observations in schools. Focusing on the differences between the middle class and the working class, she analyzes several major parenting models currently in Taiwan, asking why parents make certain choices and the impact of these choices on families and children. This is an important field report for understanding the current state of contemporary parenting in Taiwan.","brand":"春山出版","offers":[{"title":"Traditional Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46478538735855,"sku":"9789869735940","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/getImage_ba7658f1-52da-4672-b9c0-ec9caf0d907a.webp?v=1748033343"},{"product_id":"借土養命-9786269524228","title":"Borrow the soil to support your life","description":"This book tells the story of a lone army in northern Thailand. \u003cbr\u003eWhy was the \"isolated army\" so \"isolated\"? In 1949, when the Kuomintang (KMT) was defeated in the Chinese-Communist War and evacuated mainland China, over a thousand KMT soldiers in Yunnan, along with local residents unwilling to accept Communist rule, retreated from Yunnan into Myanmar, becoming a displaced people. These individuals were subsequently forced out by the Burmese government and reluctantly settled in the Golden Triangle region of northern Thailand, where they were finally accepted as Thai citizens in the 1980s. For three decades, they were without political affiliation, without economic roots, with no prospect of returning home. Isolated and helpless, they had no choice but to rebuild their lives on their own.\u003cbr\u003e How did these displaced people manage to survive in the unfamiliar and treacherous jungles of the Golden Triangle, \"borrowing the land to support themselves\"? The author, anthropologist Huang Shumin, led a team on a field trip to Meihong Village (a pseudonym), one of the larger villages in the region. With two primary questions in mind, he writes a survival chronicle of this struggle. \u003cbr\u003eThe Golden Triangle is a notorious source of narcotics, and the villagers of Mae Hong were initially actively involved in organized drug trafficking. However, after finally obtaining Thai citizenship, they diligently transitioned, developing a mountain farming model specializing in the production and sale of tropical fruits. This success has gradually improved their material well-being. But behind this success lies the question of whether their land use practices meet sustainable agricultural standards. While striving for economic success, are they also taking into account the ecological environment? This is the author's primary concern.\u003cbr\u003e The author's second concern concerns their spiritual world. The people portrayed in this book revere traditional Chinese culture and consider themselves its loyal guardians. How do they preserve and recreate their ideal (or imagined) Confucian moral order in a remote and alien land? The author depicts this cultural reproduction through the daily institutions of Meihong Village, such as education and rituals, interspersed with the thoughts of the village's youth. \u003cbr\u003eIn the 21st century, amidst globalization, the armed exiles from Yunnan, who began establishing settlements in the Golden Triangle in the 1950s, have long since left behind the hardships of living on the land and settled down there. However, the author notes that conflicts and tensions are rising within the village due to power transitions and generational differences in identity.\u003cbr\u003e Can they successfully navigate the challenges posed by this new era? What insights and reflections can micro-ethnographic research offer to macro-level theories of globalization?

In fact, this spiritual slogan appeared half a century ago and was widely distributed in the Matsu Islands, which are familiar to us yet unfamiliar to us - familiar in terms of its geographical existence, unfamiliar in terms of everything else.\u003cbr\u003e This book is the first ethnography of Matsu. Rather than adopting a Cold War framework of viewing Matsu from above, the author explores a bottom-up perspective, bringing us closer to the lives and inner experiences of the Matsu people. \u003cbr\u003eFor a long time, the Matsu Islands were merely a collection of islands scattered off the coast of southeastern China. However, due to the US-Soviet Cold War and the cross-strait conflict in the Taiwan Strait, the islands suddenly became a frontier battlefield and were forced to accept military rule. However, after military rule faded into history in 1992 and Matsu emerged from its battlefield status, the island faced a crisis of marginalization, leaving the Matsu people perplexed and anxious about their future.\u003cbr\u003e Lin Wei-pin, the author of this book, first visited Matsu in 2006 and has since returned repeatedly over the past decade for in-depth field research, reflecting on how the people of Matsu are re-imagining themselves and the island's future. Her vibrant prose vividly depicts Matsu from its early days as a fishing village, through the military rule of the 20th century, and into the 21st century. Throughout the book, the core concepts of \"working small to achieve great things\" and \"imagination\" are meticulously analyzed, demonstrating how these have evolved throughout history and continue to influence the actions of the island's inhabitants. \u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the island's history, describing the stark differences between Matsu society before and after 1949 and revealing the special significance of gambling on Matsu. With the end of military rule, new media technologies (the internet) were introduced to Matsu. The second part explores the importance of the internet in building an imagined community on Matsu. The third part discusses the various post-Martial Law era imaginaries of the island's future (including cross-sea pilgrimages and gambling schemes) and the generational differences revealed in these imaginaries.\u003cbr\u003e Taiwan and Matsu share similar circumstances. As islands sandwiched between powerful powers, each time local geopolitics shifts, they must quickly adapt, reposition themselves, and strive to strengthen and even forge connections with the world. Therefore, the story of Matsu is the story of Taiwan; the attempts and efforts of the Matsu people are worthy of reflection and learning for Taiwan.\u003cbr\u003e The English version of this book is the first in the \"Cambridge Taiwan Studies Series\", and the Chinese version was rewritten and revised by the author himself.","brand":"春山出版公司","offers":[{"title":"Traditional Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46478538866927,"sku":"9786267236185","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/getImage_d2821739-6fd4-4ef3-bfe7-626d4974b032.webp?v=1748308866"},{"product_id":"島嶼歷史超展開-9786267236420","title":"Island History Super Expansion","description":"■This book is the first in the series \"Chunshan Taiwan Lectures,\" a collaboration between Chunshan Publishing and the Institute of Taiwan History, Academia Sinica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ***\u003cbr\u003e The island's potential is unlocked, and history is about to unfold! \u003cbr\u003eA History of East Asian Maritime Affairs in the Seventeenth Century, Centered on Taiwan\u003cbr\u003e ***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Anyone who's read the \"One Piece\" comics knows how the storylines, grounded in the historical facts of the Age of Exploration, are intricate, treacherous, and imaginative, captivating and captivating.

Chizuru Aoyama came from a wealthy family; after her mother passed away early, she was sent to a branch family in Nagasaki to be raised. While living in Taichung, Nisshinkai recommended Wang Qian-he, a woman from a Taiwanese prominent family born out of wedlock, to serve as her interpreter. These two women, raised under completely different cultural upbringings, thus had the opportunity to travel together along the cities of the Trunk Railway. They stayed at the Taipei Railway Hotel and Tainan Railway Hotel, and even extended their travels by taking sugar railways and local branch lines, enjoying the scenery of various towns. At each stop, they ate wherever they went—street vendors, dagashi shops, kám-á-tiàm (traditional general stores), coffee shops, or Western-style restaurants, eateries, and hotels. This Trunk Railway food tour was truly a rare opportunity, a fleeting moment of freedom for two women before marriage. Beyond satisfying their taste buds, they exchanged cultures and ideas, and Chizuru Aoyama learned that Wang Qian-he, a former public school teacher, harbored a wish to become a translator. Perhaps resonating as women, Chizuru Aoyama understood how difficult it was for women to have independent careers.

Through the ecological and historical lens of biogeography, this book features Taiwanese alpine plants as the protagonists, opening up connections between Taiwan and the world. Readers will experience the grand adventure of Taiwanese alpine plants over millions of years to reach the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Throughout Earth's history, alpine plants have entered the island at various geological stages. Although Taiwan's geomorphological history is only approximately six million years old, the natural history embedded in its native plants stretches back tens of millions of years. How have evolutionary forces shaped the survival and reproduction of alpine plants on Taiwan's more than 200 peaks exceeding 3,000 meters? Taiwan's mountains are the easternmost point of Himalayan alpine plants, the final destination for many northern temperate plants migrating southward, and, incidentally, a stopover for travelers from the Southern Hemisphere. Besides serving as a global stopover for these plant travelers, Taiwan's mountains have also nurtured numerous endemic species. How did these species become truly Taiwanese through the mountain-building movement?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe familiar red cypress, known to the Yamato people as the tallest tree in East Asia, is a world-renowned and precious species, on par with the giant sequoias of California. The thorny barberry, though not favored by mountaineers, is the most diverse alpine plant found on the summit of the 100 peaks, astounding international scholars with its thirteen unique varieties. In his 1911 book, Flora of Taiwan, Hayata Fumzo marveled at a mysterious herb, the mountain incense, originating from the Australian flora of the Southern Hemisphere. How does this endemic species in Taiwan lead us into Darwin's famous Abominable Mystery? Plants from around the world, gathered in Taiwan's high mountains, bear witness to the island's evolution and vividly preserve the memory of plants' journeys between plates and islands.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book, with its grand vision, lays out the scientific principles and worldviews of history's most significant plants, organisms, geologists, and naturalists, closely integrating historical chance with science. Through the lens of Taiwan's alpine flora, the author offers a diverse interpretation of Earth's natural history. While humans have nationality by choice, plants have no nationality, and those who study plants know no borders. Many naturalists have visited Taiwan, believing they had landed on an isolated island, only to be surprised to discover the entire northern hemisphere's nature on that tiny island. In Taiwan, they encountered flowers and plants from their homeland and saw species they had imagined.

Following Japanese rule, the island promoted infrastructure development, including public health, land surveys, and the development of transportation systems, kick-starting modern economic growth. Following World War II, economic development stagnated under the Nationalist government's regulatory policies. During the period of US aid (1950-1965), under US leadership and pressure, some regulations were relaxed, leading to a gradual return to a market economy and a period of rapid growth in the early 1960s. The sustained rise in Taiwanese income levels during a period of rapid growth is a rare phenomenon in human history and is therefore considered a miracle by economists. This book explains how Taiwan's economic trajectory over the past 400 years confirms the economic view that a free market economy is most conducive to economic growth. Furthermore, the transformation of Taiwan's economic system was facilitated by Japanese colonial rule and US aid.","brand":"春山出版","offers":[{"title":"Traditional Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46478543093999,"sku":"9786267236123","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/s34461129.jpg?v=1748033642"},{"product_id":"我愛黑眼珠-9789863873709","title":"I love black eyes","description":"A tribute to Qidengsheng, a pioneer who transcends time.

Unique, unrepeatable, and defying simplification and categorization, we were fortunate to be there, accompanying them closely, and we could only record it honestly. Gu Yuling's book, \"The Other,\" attempts to faithfully present and record the stories of several Filipino migrant workers in Taiwan. Author Gu Yuling, a longtime participant in the labor movement, amassed over fifteen years of close observation and involvement in the lives of laborers and migrant workers. This is her first written account.\u003cbr\u003e The appearance of this book opens another window for readers who are \"us\", allowing them to further see those migrant workers who actually enter and exit the same spaces as us, but are ignored and treated unequally. They also see how their desire to become part of \"us\" is repeatedly frustrated. The author also repeatedly highlights the irrationality of society's artificial boundaries between \"us\" and \"them\", giving \"us\" the opportunity to think and reflect, and attempts to invite readers to enter \"them\", just like looking in the mirror, to see ourselves and ourselves in others. \u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, from the perspective of literary tradition, in contrast to the mainstream writing style of local authors, which is always eager to highlight their own differences from the group, this book reveals a particularly valuable quality, namely, what critic Tang Nuo points out, \"the reduction of the writer's self.\" When the self becomes smaller, it can accommodate more people, more stories, and more thoughtful thinking.\u003cbr\u003e This unique perspective, coupled with the author's rich material and background accumulated before writing, and his restrained storytelling skills that avoid falling into tragic accusations, makes the lives of individual migrant workers vividly appear between the lines, creating the uniqueness of this book. It also won the honor of being awarded the \"Literary Annual Grant\" of the 9th Taipei Literature Award. \u003cbr\u003eBorn in Chiayi City in 1967, Gu Yuling moved to Taipei at the age of 18, where she has lived ever since. Inspired by left-wing thought and nurtured by Taiwan's social movements before and after the lifting of martial law, she devoted herself full-time to the labor movement after graduating from Fu Jen Catholic University's English Department. Currently serving as the president of the Taiwan International Labor Association, she is a graduate of the Graduate Institute of Social and Cultural Studies at National Chiao Tung University.

However, the April 6th Student Movement of 1949, sandwiched between these two events, remains largely unknown. To faithfully recreate the youthful anthem of those days, Lan Bozhou wrote the novel \"Taipei Lovers.\" \u003cbr\u003eLan Bozhou scoured historical records, newspapers, and magazines, diligently searching for witnesses who personally experienced that turbulent anti-civil war movement and who were scattered after the chaotic reorganization. He listened to their oral histories recounting the events of the past, hoping to fill in the gaps in historical facts. This painstaking and arduous work has now faded with age, making it difficult to complete.\u003cbr\u003e This book further chronicles the student movement in Taiwan from 1945 to 1949, from its prelude during the Japanese colonial period to the Taiwan Student Union in the early years of the Restoration; from the anti-American student movement on the eve of the February 28 Incident to the struggles and sacrifices during the February 28 Incident; from the student movement at the Normal University after the February 28 Incident to the student movement at National Taiwan University, exemplified by the Mailangge Choir; from the peak of the student movement in March 1949 to the April 6th Incident, which suppressed the movement.

(Special preface by Tong Weige, Zhang Yijie, You Jing, Han Lizhu; recommended by Zhu Jiahan and He Shufang) An airmail letter from thirty years ago connects countless lives. \u003cbr\u003eThe elderly woman who is the family's financial and emotional supporter, the depressed high school teacher, the eldest daughter who pursues identity but becomes an alcoholic, the second daughter who always plays the role of a sandwich in relationships, the best friend who emigrated due to an unexpected pregnancy, the son who crossed the sea to Taiwan to trace his roots, and the political survivors who participated in the election. Through a dream, a few letters, and intertwined journeys, the pain is awakened one by one...\u003cbr\u003e In this story, each person is wrapped in unspeakable pain. Even without the possibility of memory, they violently bear the hurt and pain. What is the relationship between them? \"The Rest\" uses a gentle and unique perspective to care for the span of time and understand the frustrations of each other. \u003cbr\u003eHistory isn't always generous; it always fulfills the reality of human constant pressure. Therefore, novels exist to remember the empty landscapes that are about to be forgotten, thereby delaying the lingering rainstorms that will return.

Like many novelists who have experienced profound historical trauma and digested and transcended it through writing (I'm thinking, uh, Milan, Kundera), Gu Yuling forces the banal dichotomy of good and evil to become unfamiliar; is evil, or good, simply an extension of each other?

While still navigating the \"floating\" of narrowly escaping the disaster and receiving a steady stream of speaking engagements, a car accident in 1993 left his wife, Fu Li, severely disabled. He was thrust back into a harsh reality, beginning the next chapter of his long life. He rigorously questioned his own recklessness, facing the shock, collapse, and depression that followed the trauma. He accompanied Fu Li through the arduous road of recovery: recalling memories, hoping for a miracle, withdrawing from the outside world, clashing with his son, and incessant self-blame. This journey of slowly finding oneself through the passage of time is also the most humble and sincere confession of anyone who has endured great adversity. \u003cbr\u003eIn the 2012 revised edition of \"The Preface to the Soul-Leaving Tribulation,\" unbearable details finally emerge...

In 1993, at the age of 44, he and his wife were involved in a car accident, a second rupture.

The Satsuma man roared, raised his sword, and slashed across. He sheathed it abruptly, then raised his spear. Then, with a graceful click of the trigger, the grass fell, the trees leaned, the water flowed, and the scenery became peaceful. The reverberating roar of the Mudan River flowing through the pass, despite the sense of airiness created by the altitude, did not diminish in volume as the climb up the rock face increased.

After landing, they were massacred by members of the Gaoshi Buddhist Society for various reasons. This sowed the seeds for the Japanese government to launch military action against Taiwan and provided samurai, unemployed after the Meiji Restoration, with an opportunity to establish merit and regain their samurai dignity. Meanwhile, Zhuo Qidu, the chief of the eighteen tribes of Langqiao, passed away. The tribal alliance on the Hengchun Peninsula was in a state of disintegration and reorganization. The sudden arrival of the Japanese army provided an opportunity for the Northern and Southern Alliances to demarcate their differences. Then, like the turbulent waters of the Mudan River, the fierce warriors of the Mudan Society rushed down.

Where does the literary path come from? Where does it go?\u003cbr\u003e ◎ Paving a shortcut to the core for the fractured literary generations, everyone can now immerse themselves in the bittersweet experiences of novelists such as Lai He, Weng Xiang, Zhang Wenhuan, and Lu Heruo. \u003cbr\u003eThey were precocious and sensitive children riding the tides of their time, growing up under the impact of a new civilization, redefining everything they saw. They were Taiwan's first generation of artistic youth, embracing the prosperity of new streets and the stimulation of a new language. They struggled to forge a path through the crevices of reality, leaving behind seeds of hope even if they vanished. \"Love Before Dawn\" is taken from Ong Kao's novel, \"Yoshiki-ke-mae no Koi Monogatari,\" a tribute to this unconventional predecessor. It can also serve as a metaphor for the modern novel in Taiwan, from the stylistic explorations of the 1920s to the exhibitions of the 1940s, a period of passionate love. Despite the challenges of the environment, every writer cherished their passion in the darkness. Unfortunately, after dawn, this love was understood by no one, its dew evaporating.\u003cbr\u003e This microscopic and slow-paced selection recreates the warm light and shadow of fourteen Taiwanese novelists from the Japanese colonial period, piecing together the writers' dreams and civilizations of the early 20th century and the oppressive reality that forced them to live. \u003cbr\u003eA new atmosphere emanates from the writings of Wu Zhuoliu and Wang Shilang: the scent of soap and cigarettes, the clean and spacious Third Road, a dazzling array of new terms and imported goods, and the emergence of a prosperous city.\u003cbr\u003e For whom does this new era usher in? Will it bring happiness or sorrow? Unleashing the constraints of paradigms, opening the treasure box of interpretation for Lai He, confronting the contradictions, anguish, and timidity within, we ponder again: was the once-vigorous \"New Literature\" truly in vain?\u003cbr\u003e Recalling Yang Kui and Long Yingzong's trip to Tokyo, and the seemingly distant and contradictory, but in fact life-and-death friendship between Long Yingzong, Zhang Wojun and Xu Yuandong.\u003cbr\u003e Returning to the summer afternoon in Lu Heruo's \"Magnolia,\" at a moment of violent division between people, a spirit-calling ceremony attempts to explore the possibility of reconciliation.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, two fairy tales illuminate Ong-joo, who always fought against worldly sophistication. His personality and literary works bear a striking resemblance to those of his contemporary, Osamu Dazai. \u003cbr\u003eMetaphors of fruit, imaginary travel, modern cities, the sound of the times, a still-smoking cigarette. With a writer's empathy and a contemporary perspective, this book reinterprets stories from past generations, exploring accessible paths for a fractured literary generation. Enter the worlds of fiction by Lai He, Weng Xiang, Zhang Wenhuan, and Lu Heruo, among others.\u003cbr\u003e \"Let's change direction and experience the life of a writer from now on.\" - Yang Shouyu \"The heart of this island city, the bustling and magnificent Eimachi and Kyomachi districts, is teeming with people. Shops, streets, and booths are bustling with activity.\" - Wang Shilang \"Times say they have progressed, and indeed they have! I believe they have, but how can this progress lead to misfortune? Ah! The progress of times and human happiness are two different things.\" - Lai He \"As students, we were too optimistic about society.\" \u003cbr\u003e\"Society rolls down like a giant rock, and we are the pitiful ones, crushed to the point of being worse than puppets.\" - Long Yingzong \"Be careful not to let rain soak the roots of the sweet potatoes. Otherwise, they will rot from the inside out!\" - Zhong Lihe \"For a loser like me, there's no such thing as ideals or hopes.\" - Weng Chao The Fragrance of Civilization Wu Zhuoliu∣Yang Shouyu∣Zhu Dianren∣Wang Shilang Where is the Superman Lai He∣Cai Qiutong∣Zhang Wenhuan∣Yang Kui The Setbacks of Romance Liu Naou∣Long Yingzong The Man of Shame Lu Heruo∣Zhong Lihe∣ Two fairy tales by Ye Shitao","brand":"INK印刻出版公司","offers":[{"title":"Traditional Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46478546895087,"sku":"9789863872757","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/getImage_55426488-085a-43e0-abe4-e31e85693fa8.webp?v=1748033910"},{"product_id":"其後-9789866135859","title":"Afterwards","description":"So, this is not a book about May, but about myself, my aftermath, and my survival. \u003cbr\u003eHave I sailed past that dreary equatorial doldrums? Where am I heading? Or perhaps, where am I returning from? The sails of my writing have been lowered for a long time. The sky and water merge, the mist thickens, and the memory of May is like a magic mountain. It seems I not only accompanied her on a journey of gender identity, but she also accompanied me on a very long journey of writing identity. Even in the years when she is no longer with me, her image and her writings are a comfort and a sting to me. We were once opposed, yet we also played the role of listeners. Whether we were constantly striving for higher goals or digging deeper into our inner selves, we argued, but ultimately came to terms, realizing that we were not in great conflict. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a book that has been slowly accumulating over time. In some places, the writing is astonishingly good. Her mature writing and this work can address many questions, including the premature death and rupture of the fifth-grader generation; it can answer how a female writer navigates emotions, trauma, and death, or how she experiences the death of a lesbian friend, and then returns from the denial of writing to the process of writing. — Zhou Fenling's novel \"Afterwards\" is not a secret, not an autobiography, not an inside story, not a confession or repentance, and certainly not just a confession. Rather, it is within the literary republic of the novel that the meaning of carnival and clamor can be established. We unarmor ourselves with prejudice, bias, and preconceived notions, and follow the novelist's line of thought, trance-like, calling upon the silent dead, and together completing the inner journey of the inn. I would say that Lai Xiangyin, having finished writing \"Afterwards,\" emerged from this world with the courage of a living being who takes on a righteous responsibility, the dedication of \"Ji Zha Hanging His Sword\" as bright as the sun and moon. -- Lin Junying: We are too romantic. We all must die once in our youth. After such a death, looking back, everything we see will be different... I am proud of your determination to finally reclaim your right to write, because this is the story of an era, about how you survived, not about why someone died. -- Guo Qiang: When the fog of life gradually dissipated, they were no longer there. \u003cbr\u003eHow can I continue to live with those stories of hurt? I can't forget them, but I can't always remember them either. Stories of hurt are often both beautiful and ugly, and they, no matter what, have brought out a person's best and worst potentials to the extreme. If I don't fully understand what's inside, I have no right to preserve them.\u003cbr\u003e Some pages of the book of life have been torn out, making it difficult to read the story from beginning to end, but we will still persevere and finish reading it. \u003cbr\u003eI have no power to prevent lies and harm from entering my life, no power to crystallize things into a moment of ultimate beauty—if that's what you and I, our youthful hearts, insist on doing—I can't do it, and death isn't the solution. On the contrary, in the fleeting time after death, all I witness is change, the vast transformation of the world, the metamorphosis of people and the qualitative shifts in their emotions. All this is unstoppable, and often justifiable. What more can I say? Tears and cries have replaced the overwhelming loneliness, permeating every pore. But believe me, the soul has its own immortality. If you were still here, you would surely feel the same way I do. There's no need to panic. Be lonely, be alone. Be present with loneliness, observe its appearance closely, and once you've become familiar with it, there's nothing to panic about.","brand":"印刻文學","offers":[{"title":"Traditional Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46478546960623,"sku":"9789866135859","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/s9091189.jpg?v=1748307158"},{"product_id":"回家-9789865823900","title":"go home","description":"Contents top\u003cbr\u003e \"go home\"\u003cbr\u003e Separation is always frustrating, and returning home is difficult.\u003cbr\u003e Will the world be the same when the sun rises?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The film vividly depicts the struggles of Vietnamese migrant workers in Taiwan, both during their migration and their return home.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eVietnam, a country with a blend of European and Chinese colonial influences, has only just recovered from the financial crisis a few years ago, boasting boundless business opportunities and booming consumer spending.
