Title: A Colonel's Son
Sub-title: Foreign Provincials, Where are you going?
Author: Mr. Yang, Yu-Ting
Speaker: Jau-Fang Wu

The author's parents came to Taiwan in the late 1940's following the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek's KMT in the Chinese Civil War. Born in 1953, like many children of Chiang's supporters, the author grew in one of many so-called "villages of government employees and their dependents" in 1953. He earned an MS degree in Computer Science from University of Massachusetts. After returning to Taiwan, he worked as the deputy director of the Department of Technology and Research and then owned a start-up software company. In 2005 when he was in his early 50's, he entered Chinese Cultural University specializing in history of KMT-CCP relations and history of Taiwan.

The book is a collection of essays through them the author tells his stories. The stories are quite interesting and thought provoking. Even though the author offers primarily a "mainlander's" perspective, he tries to break away from typical mentality and emotional shackles of a mainlander. This book therefore provides a space for the mainlanders to reflect on their current situation and to seek a path to their future. For the Taiwanese, the book may help them to learn the tortured mind of a second-generation mainlander who had grown up in the exclusive "dependants' village" .
