Slow boats of the Republic of China

Novels can convey aspirations, or they can be disheartening. The eleven stories in this book are mostly negative and melancholic, making them disheartening to read. But this kind of despondency, when expressed by Huang Jinshu, feels more like indulging in a hobby to the point of losing one's ambition. You have to sink into it to truly surface. He possesses a solid accumulation and dedication to summon the Malayan Communist Party from the depths of the rubber plantations, the Betel Nut Beauties bathed in the shimmering light of the "Treasure Island Mambo," and those amusing "poet writers."
Here, "novel" is more like a cherished plaything for Huang Jinshu, through which he "loses his ambition," and this loss of ambition is precisely another form of expressing his aspirations, a deeper expression. With his book "The Slow Boat of the Republic," he responds to the various miseries and peculiarities of Malaysia and Taiwan – hope and hopelessness, emotion and devastation. One is his birthplace, the other his place of study and residence. Who knows who, and when, simply because he happened to be there, forced something upon him. He shakes his head in resistance alone, but he has never given up.
Huang Jinshu:
The situation in Taiwan is disgusting, and the history of the Republic of China has clearly entered injury time, so the original title of the book was "The Slow Boat Leaving the Republic"; but the environment in Malaysia also doesn't seem friendly, so the title was once again proposed as "The Slow Boat Sailing Towards the Republic." However, most of this ship called the Republic has, after all, sunk into the past, and perhaps only a raised corner of its stern is barely dry. After removing the vectors, in the ebb and flow, the old, broken ship is left only with itself, drifting in the equatorial doldrums.
