Description
This is Part One of The Gift, an award-winning epic story reaching across both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three generations of a Taiwanese family. Born and raised in the digital age, teenager Jiahui cannot comprehend the war-inflicted trauma that her grandfather feels even today. A former soldier and witness of cruelty and death during the Chinese Civil War, all the old man can do is to avoid conflict with his beloved granddaughter. Both sides suffer from their own real and imagined anger and regret, until the appearance of a young man who truly knows what it means to understand and forgive. Don't forget to check out Part two of The Gift, a tender and thought-provoking story that depicts "sympathy" as a key to the continuation of love and life.
