Tsai Kun-lin, an ordinary boy was born in Qingshui, Taichung in 1930s Taiwan. In part 1 Tsai, in concert with the beautiful illustrations of Chou Jian-xin, depicts a carefree childhood despite the Japanese occupation: growing up happily with the company of nursery rhymes and picture books on Qingshui Street. As war emerges Tsai's memories shift to military parades, air raids, and watching others face conscription into the army. It seems no one can escape. After the war, the book-loving teenager tries hard to learn Mandarin and believes he is finally stepping towards a comfortable future, but little does he know, a dark cloud awaits him ahead. Part 2 opens with Illustrations reminiscent of woodcuts showing the soul-crushing experience of Tsai's detention and imprisonment. In his second year at Taichung First Senior High School, Tsai attends a book club hosted by his teacher and is consequently arrested on a false charge of taking part in an "illegal" assembly. After being tortured, he is sentenced to ten years in prison, deprived of civil rights for seven years, and sent to Green Island for "reformation". Lasting until his release in September 1960, Tsai, a victim of the White Terror era spent ten years of his youth in prison on an unjust charge. But he is ready to embrace freedom. -- Publisher's website 600 10 $a Tsai, Kun-lin. $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a Taiwan $v Comic books, strips, etc. $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a Taiwan $x History $y 1945- $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Imprisonment $z Taiwan $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 4 $a Biography & Autobiography. 650 4 $a History. 651 6 $a Taiwan $x Histoire $y 1945- $0 (CaQQLa)201-0057401 655 4 $a Young Adult Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nonfiction comics. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Jian-Xin, Zhou. $e illustrator 700 1 $a King, Lin. $e translator 941 $a 3 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030042.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010425.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240106010641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D5E60FAAC6111EEB8E173B432ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
