This book, A Boy from China: Escape the Mainland, truthfully describes
events that happened in my youth. It spans a period from the time I was
three years old until I was fifteen years old, during which I lived a hash
life and moved involuntarily sixteen times. The final move was from the
mainland to Taiwan.
The hash period of life I endured took place when China was in war
with Japan for eight years and during the civil war with the
Communists for four years. I almost lost my life to illness and an ill-
intended deed by a neighbor. And in the middle of running away from
the Japanese, I was separated from my mother in a big city.
My father was a military man, always away for the war. I lived with my
mother in a mud hut and eating meager food until I became a rice
paddy fisherman when I was ten so my mother and I could eat fish,
snails, and eels every day.
When the war with Japan ended, we returned to Nanjing and found that
our former home was a pile of rubble. There was peace for two years,
and then we had to run from the Communists.
We moved from Nanjing to Shanghai, stayed for a few months, and
moved to Foochow, where my ancestors were from. We had lived in
Foochow for six months when the Communists were closing in. My
father went to Taiwan with the troops. Three days later, in the darkness
of the night, mother, I, and Lion escaped the city of Foochow to board a
junk and then a troop carrier that sailed to Taiwan.
