Where is the Jianghu?

Food is life! And rivers and lakes are the basins of water.
In 2005, Yang Rumen, the "white rice bomber" who shocked society, was sentenced to prison. It was around this time that Wu Yining began her correspondence with Yang. "Where is the Jianghu" explores this incident, beginning with the media's excavation of the incident. The truth vanished from "actual reporting," replaced by speculation. This also reveals how Taiwan's agriculture has become a victim of the political struggle between the blue and green camps.
This book is more than just a page in Taiwan's agricultural history; it also captures the rich memories of this land and the tears of its cultivators. With a sensitive pen and detailed historical documentation, the author begins her journey from her hometown of Xizhou, taking readers through the years before and after regime change, through the era of "eating more noodles, less rice," through the Little League era, through left-wing socialism, through great leaders, through international isolation and local identity, and from sugarcane and bananas to canned pineapples, proving that "rice is life."
