27 Feb / The Last of the Whampoa Breed: Stories of the Chinese Diaspora edited by Pang-yuan Chi and David Der-Wei Wang [in AsianWeek]

Last of the Whampoa BreedA compilation of 14 essays that highlight the experiences of a group of elite Chinese soldiers who were trained at China’s first modern military institution, Whampoa Military Academy, who were exiled … in numbers exceeding over a million … to Taiwan after fighting the Japanese in World War II. Seen through the eyes of the exiles’ descendants, many of whom are prominent writers in Taiwan, the essays capture the historically tense relationship that still exists between mainland China and neighboring Taiwan.
