Chien-Hsiung Cheng

Each member of a family in Taipei asks hard questions about life's meaning as they live through everyday quandaries. NJ is morose: his brother owes him money, his mother-in-law is in a coma, his wife suffers a spiritual crisis when she finds her life a blank and his business partners make bad decisions.

A boy experiences first love, friendships and injustices growing up in 1960s Taiwan.
