This really does feel like collection of short stories.Sure, it is a full book, but the differing chapters often do not feel connected apart from the same characters being in it. But nonetheless, the novel is well written and by the time I read it, i ...more "

"So Qing is the son of a mainland father. I wonder if that has any impact her. Granted, I won't find out because I have to prioritize which books to read and I only wanted to read this because of what another book said about its historical context." — Dec 29, 2025 05:02AM

"I guess I can consider myself lucky that only now in the resumee does he speak about power again. Albeit it is once more clear how much he focuses on the KMT when it comes to all of this. He never seems to consider that discourses during Japanese times might have influenced Taiwan, instead he always refers to the Qing times and the 20/30s republican times from "the mainland."" — Dec 17, 2025 04:45AM

“It’s like when we read The Diary of Anne Frank in seventh grade, and I had the sneaking suspicion that I would have been a Nazi back then because I wouldn’t have had the guts to be anything else. Because I would have been too scared to not go along with the majority. Like, I would have been a passive sort of Nazi, but I still would have been a Nazi. I never said anything out loud, of course, but I remember reading that book in Ms. Peterson’s class and everyone was all, “Oh, I would’ve helped Anne. I would have rebelled. I don’t understand how people could have allowed this to happen, blah blah blah.” I mean,”

But out here I soon gathered that the Japanese were looked upon as something subhuman and repulsive; the way some people feel about cockroaches or mice.”

“Most American view World War II nostalgically as the "good war," in which the United States and its allies triumphed over German Nazism, Italian fascism, and Japanese militarism. The rest of the world remembers it as the bloodiest war in human history. By the time it was over, more than 60 million people lay dead, including 27 million Russians, between 10 million and 20 million Chinese, 6 million Jews, 5.5 million Germans, 3 million non-Jewish Poles, 2.5 million Japanese, and 1.5 million Yugoslavs. Austria, Great Britain, France, Italy, Hungary, Romania, and the United States each counted between 250,000 and 333,000 dead.”
