Brutal fate behaves like unseen magnet that has pulled the Taiwanese college graduates of 1960s to the amazing great land of the United States for pursuing their graduate study. They have obeyed the natural law of the human immigration that always begins with suffering and finally cannot but settle down in the new land with eventual peace and/or prosperity. This book collects eight enlightening short stories regarding the contradictory life of the new Taiwanese American ethnic group. These stories engrave their political movements for their ancestral land, their desires for sexual loves and their struggles to survive in this big, beautiful land. These stories are written in Taiwanese-a newly developed literary language through the use of Chinese characters.
