How the Night Chrysanthemums Began to March 菊花如何夜行軍
Introduction
*2022 TLA Golden Book Award/TLA New Bud Award
The essays in this book encourage readers to reflect on the land, the self, and globalization. Yung-Feng Chung shares how he and his orchestral friends sang songs lamenting the floodlights that had turned night into day in sleepy rural villages in the race to profit from the demand for fresh-cut chrysanthemum flowers. He also relates in powerful prose his experience singing mountain songs with elder farmers in front of the Legislative Yuan to protest construction of a new reservoir. In his essays, we too hear song after song about the changes overtaking rural Taiwan.
