Tsai Kun-lin, an ordinary boy born in Qingshui, recounts 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 Two: Taiwan, 1950s. In his second year at Taichung First Senior High School, Tsai is arrested simply for joining a book club and subsequently tortured, deprived of civil rights, and sent to Green Island for "reformation." Lasting until his release in September 1960, Tsai, a victim of the White Terror era, spends ten years of his youth in prison on an unjust charge. But he is ready to embrace freedom. 541 $d 20231205. 650 $a Taiwanese. 650 $a Political prisoners $z China $v Biography. 650 1 $a War. 650 $a False imprisonment. 650 $a Taiwan $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. 700 $a Zhou, Jian-Xin, $e illustrator. 700 $a King, Lin, $e translator. 941 $a 5 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014909.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240604011312.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012821.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012032.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20231212010308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B5CB41A98BC11EEA3C943791FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
