About this book from Taipei Dad and New York Mom

Introduction: The eldest son of a separated Taiwanese and American family used all his strength to write and create statues. He returned to the thirty years when time flowed, tug-of-war with memory, and used incomparable devotion to the broken family he came from. Love and courage write a heart-wrenching love letter.

The author's father was the founder of Jazz Color Printing Store, the first local brand in Taiwan's color printing industry. At its peak, he opened seven chain stores. Later, due to debt problems, his parents, including the author, left for the United States. Among them, four children remain in Taiwan. Since then, the family has been separated and lives in Taiwan and the United States. The content is divided into three parts: the first part "Farewell Letter" describes the vicissitudes of childhood when the father was living under the fence of others, and the love-hate relationship between father and son; the second part "The Boy in the Cinema" writes about gender identity and film enlightenment; the third part "There is Light" "The Other Side of the Moon, Dark Side of the Moon" is a poignant account of the life of a mother and her family who immigrated to New York, USA. I have never seen a more frank and horrifying confession, which always makes me close my eyes and stop reading... - Director Wang Xiaodi

The moon falls and the car is driving through the snowy sky, half asleep and more difficult to sleep than awake. The new airport outside Beijing is bustling with passengers arriving in the middle of the night.

As a son of man, a sibling, and a carrier of discrete memories, Chen Junzhi's life has been riddled with holes.

This is Chen Junzhi's "Reminiscences of Lost Time", but it has written "The Past" for an entire generation (in the eyes of our fifth graders) It doesn’t have to be like smoke”. Tianxin once wrote in the preface to my novel that year - Milan Kundera said about Kafka in "The Art of Novel": "The novelist demolishes the house of his life in order to build another house with bricks and stones - - The House of His Novel.

For such a popular drama, Junzhi uses his usual coquettish attitude to whisper in your ear, and the reader will only feel a thrill and fright.

Junzhi himself is a rainbow, in the wind and rain After that, it reached the position where we all finally looked up and saw it. And because there are self-sacrificing people like him, we can’t help but feel ashamed of our own selfish lives. ——TVBS News Anchor Fang Nianhua

Some of the stories in the book have already been mentioned by Mickey during tea or wine gatherings; but when the wandering thoughts calm down, they turn into these words. At this time, he produced another magical charm that made people burst into tears... The ageless Mickey is a poet, a wanderer, and an eternal child. He is always wandering in search of belonging, and until the end of his wandering, perhaps words and images will be his last home, and we, the audience, may be able to act as his family members, forgetting each other and letting each other know each other. ——Director Zhou Meiling Chen Junzhi, a documentary director, pays attention to disadvantaged issues and uses words and images to practice social movements.
