If history is a labyrinth, novels are the entrance and exit of the labyrinth. Ten fictional works that metaphor a century of Taiwan's history describe the wandering destiny of the people of Formosa.

"Fukushima Drift" consists of ten short stories. It is a chronicle novel based on Taiwan's century-old history (from the early 20th century to the 21st century). There is a clear historical background behind each story, such as the opening chapter " "Journey to Formosa" is set in the early 20th century. A British man who went to Taiwan to assist the Chamber of Commerce in investigating Taiwan's camphor industry had many descriptions of Taiwan that had entered the period of Japanese occupation. "In That Time Called Freedom" is based on the real "Taups case" and tells the story of the Soviet crew whose actions were controlled by the Kuomintang government and their surprising journey in "Free China". In addition, there are also chapters with Taiwanese literature as the background. For example, Liu Jun in "Ye Liu" uses Long Yingzong as the prototype, and "The Last Case" writes about the 1980s when Taiwan's "Mystery Magazine" was founded. What's even more interesting is that the book refers to the Taiwan issue in a fictional historical way. For example, "Please Close Your Eyes" fictionalizes Taiwan as a state of the United States in response to the absence of student movements in Taiwan in the 1960s, and "Miss Me in the Immigration Village" "Brothers" fictionalizes that Taiwan was leased by Japan after the war, and that in the 1990s, it also had the same problem of handover as Hong Kong. Cai Yicheng's profound reflections and sharp writing on Taiwan history, Taiwan issues and Taiwanese literature not only demonstrate the new generation of novelists' skillful ability to comb through historical materials, but also empathize with Taiwan's interpretive framework and respond to Taiwan with wild literary imagination. proposition, will make this work an important literary voice for a new generation.
