That reminded you of the dissident who had been exiled for thirty years because of his resistance against the totalitarian government. That was then, this is now. Once he became the country head, reminiscent of others before him, he converted the island’s last piece of wetland into a polluting industrial site that consumed tremendous amounts of energy. How was he any different from the foreign he’d criticized and hoped to overthrow? How else would he have dared to do what he did? When you walked by your green wall one day you discovered-oh my god-the century- old nightshade tress had disappeared overnight, all for the ostensibly justifiable reasons of widening the street. You were so grief-stricken, so distressed, you felt as if you’d lost your best friend. (Page 149)<\/p>\n

On the same evening 20 years later, you and your husband would go to a gathering purported to have been attended by 100,000 people […] Your original intention had been to donate some money, a meager contribution to help unseat the ruling party […] In the end, of course, you couldn\u2019t make your way out through the crowd. More importantly, your husband of nearly 20 years wasn\u2019t about to leave. When you looked at him, his blurred face displaying the same expression as the tens of thousands of faces around him, he could have been a total stranger who was shouting and clapping in response to the spotlighted speakers.

This quote does not view the Taiwanese very positively. They are compared to moths flying into a fire. Moreover, the original text does not use the word rebel, but rather messy. The fire represents something hot and enticing, but ends up being the thing that kills the moth. Similarly, the Taiwanese are attracted to trouble and messiness. It is hot and enticing at first, but then ends up being to their detriment. This illustrates why the dead are followed by the living. The dead are encaptured in the fire but are still followed by the living because the fire is hot and enticing.The author goes on to criticize this quote by providing examples where the Taiwanese rebel or cause trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Translation Note 0 and 1″ open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
In the original text they use the word\u00a0\u4e71, which means to cause trouble or messiness.\u00a0\u4e71 has a more diverse meaning than does rebel. Rebel’s meaning is mostly political whereas\u00a0\u4e71 can mean to rebel or to cause a mess.<\/p>\n

This quote takes place when the narrator finds out her identity as Japanese in Japan and becomes very dissatisfied with Taiwan, and it shows the narrator\u2019s personal rebellion against her Taiwanese identity. In this quote, she lists the historical dissatisfaction arguments of Taiwan, especially arguments from people in Qing dynasty. This is because she is looking for people who resonate with her, who has the same dislike feeling toward Taiwan. \u00a0She gets the strength for her rebellion, to deny her Taiwanese identity from these historical arguments, and also obtains kind of encouragement to embrace her Japanese identity.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 2 Analysis” open=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
After the quote the narrator states that she forgets that she actually had a tomb to visit years later. It means that going to ancestors\u2019 tombs and serving the dead rice cakes do not give her a sense of belonging to her ancestors, neither to the place of their tombs — Taiwan. Standing in front of her ancestors\u2019 tomb, the only emotion that she has is the disgust of death (the smell of the rice cake). We can see that she is separated with her ancestors in emotion, and that\u2019s probably one of the reasons why she becomes so doubtful of her Taiwanese identity when she gets older.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 2 Translation Note ” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

This quote brings a very interesting phenomena: \u00a0The rebellious is actually not different from the rebelled. For example, the dissident in this quote, who had been exiled for thirty years and rebelled against the totalitarian government, did the same thing that the government did when he became the country head. Then there would be new rebellions against that dissident. However, people\u2019s living environment has never been cherished and respected. The quote questions the meaning of rebellions by showing the vicious circle of rebellions. Though there has been continuous rebellions in Taiwan, the real problems (the destruction of people\u2019s old memories and living environment) have never been resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 4 Analysis” open=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
In the previous quotes, we have seen a history of Taiwanese rebellion, or \u201cmessiness.\u201d While passages were told by You, they were not directly about her own personal experience with messiness. In this passage, however, You states her original intention for coming to the gathering at the stadium: to donate money to unseat the ruling party. This act, a quiet rejection of the status quo rather than a hope for a better ruling party, is typical of You\u2019s personal messiness. She always keeps her own sense of self neat, yet quietly rejects the changes that are forced upon her. Her rebellious spirit is personal and private, but still hers and hers alone. However, a spark is ignited within her and her husband when surrounded by 100,000 of her peers. This point is further emphasized when she finds her husband of nearly 20 years. His face is blurred into the faces of those around him as if he were no longer one person, but a part crowd united by a rebellious fervor. You, who has a neatly and cleanly defined sense of self, finds herself and her husband messily spilled into a rebellious crowd. <\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Stop 4 Translation Notes ” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
The Chinese translation says \u51fa\u4e0d\u53bb for the author, but for her husband the original text says \u4e0d\u4f1a\u8d70\u4e86. \u51fa\u4e0d\u53bb means that author cannot get out of the crowd<\/em> or Taiwan<\/em>, whereas \u4e0d\u4f1a\u8d70\u4e86 means that the husband is just not leaving Taiwan<\/em>. The Chinese translations adds in another aspect that the English translation does not. Because the narrator is second generation immigrant, an external province person, she is not able to go back to Mainland China. Unlike her husband, who is a native Taiwanese, who is choosing not to go back.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/946\/2017\/03\/IMG_5781-copy.jpg\")

Here, it seems, that the cycle is completed. The rebellious and messy spirit of the dead consumed the living, igniting a crowd of nearly 100,000 into mass protests for change. You observes this cycle and, fearing that she too would be consumed by this fire, reclaims her own introspective and personal messiness. She rejects her \u201cTaiwanese messiness,\u201d instead adopting a different identity entirely, as Japanese, as a tourist in Taiwan. <\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
