Book Description
关于真正的台湾，你又了解多少？
这是我常常问大陆朋友的问题。
我明白，对于很多大陆朋友来说，台湾往往只是一个空洞的政治概念；大多数人并不清楚台湾过去30年究竟发生了什么？台湾普通民众到底过着怎样的生活？
其实，台湾30年来的社会巨变，绝不亚于改革开放30年的大陆。
1975年蒋介石逝世后，台湾局势骤然微妙；蒋经国于70年代末力排众议，强力发动台湾社会变革，直接推动了台湾的经济腾飞；接下来的几十年，李登辉、陈水扁、马英九等政治人物粉墨登场，台湾社会风起云涌，每一个最普通的台湾人，都卷入其中，日常生活发生了翻天覆地的变化；这30多年的社会巨变，也给我和我的家人，留下了许许多多令人难忘的欢笑 Continue

Growing up in HK (and the US), I never knew much about Taiwan until I finished this book. It's very informative on Taiwan's modern history and popular culture, and how it moved from an authoritarian state not unlike mainland China to its current democratic incarnation.
There are a number of things that the author could not have mentioned if he wanted the book published in mainland China, especially the events that took place in the year before 1990. And well, that's a compromise that many writers there have to face.
In addition to cutting away stuff, the Chinese Financial Times says that one particular sentence was added to the book without the author's knowledge -- that he only learned about it after it was published: A united and powerful China is what's best for Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan strait.

In the end, I'm glad that he took the compromise, since more information is always a good thing (despite the fact that many of the author's Taiwanese friends won't talk to him because of the mainland's censorship and the editor's (or even his/her higher-ups') meddling -- poor guy).
