Chi-Dooh Li is thankful for sweet taste of freedom. His parents got him out of China just before the Commies took over and--let's be frank--ruined so many lives. He's haunted by the question of why he was spared the enormous suffering endured by his cousin. Today buying groceries we ran into a friend from Shanghai; unlike my in-laws, his father (also then in the KMT) stayed. He says even now he regrets his decision because of the negative impact on his childrens' lives. "Liberation" indeed. (link via Occam's toothbrush)
