Overseas Connections; Conclusion: The Other Shore; Notes; IndexWhen the Nationalists lost China in 1949, many of them left behind their families as they retreated to Taiwan. A half century later, through democratic elections, they lost control over Taiwan as well and began looking to a new and powerful China, where their relatives had grown rich, for a sense of identity and economic support, thus laying the groundwork for the growing integration between Taiwan and China. As exchanges across the Taiwan Strait increased, many separated families finally met after years of dreaming about each other in hope and in sorrow, through many eras and disast.War and familiesChinaHistory20th centuryChinaHistoryCivil War, 1945-1949Personal narrativesChinaHistoryCivil War, 1945-1949RefugeesTaiwanAttitudesChinaHistoryCivil War, 1945-1949RefugeesFamily relationshipsTaiwanWar and familiesHistory325.2109510951249951.05Meyer Mahlon1566196MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910789970603321Remembering China from Taiwan3836569UNINA
