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. 606 $aWar and families$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChina$xHistory$yCivil War, 1945-1949$vPersonal narratives 607 $aChina$xHistory$yCivil War, 1945-1949$xRefugees$zTaiwan$xAttitudes 607 $aChina$xHistory$yCivil War, 1945-1949$xRefugees$xFamily relationships$zTaiwan 615 0$aWar and families$xHistory 676 $a325.2109510951249 676 $a951.05 700 $aMeyer$b Mahlon$01566196 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789970603321 996 $aRemembering China from Taiwan$93836569 997 $aUNINA
