You simply can't use a regular cab driver's unwareness of these events to project that they were hidden secrets.

  A conscientious, well-organized masterpiece on Chinese history, 1945~1949. I felt deep pain and sadness but well-informed reading this book. I appreciate and respect the author for accomplishing this epic. For a Taiwanese born in southern Taiwan in the 1950's, I feel blessed to be able to live in a stable and prosperous era while I look back on the turbulent, violent war times.

  This books is an epic of people around the time 1949
  mainly chinese , but also of caucasians, and Japanese
  mainly of SinoJapanese War, but also of WWII
  mainly of those around teenage to twenty years old , but also of other ages.
  NO colorful description , no mention of sadness and tears........
  in people who are really unlucky and helpless and maltreated to the utmost.
  She is doing a great job to these people.

  I remember during the early post war, till 1980s, or until near 1997, when Chris Patten push out sudden' democracy' most in HK are apathetic towards politics........and do not believe in the propanganda of either side. Looking at this books recorded true stories.....
  they are really justified...
