When his grandfather died during the COVID pandemic, Hudson Wei realized how little he knew about the man who had raised him. Determined to uncover his story, he interviewed relatives, pieced together family memories, and eventually turned this into a historical novel, Abacus.
Hudson joins John from California to discuss this multigenerational saga. They begin with his grandfather’s journey from war-torn Wuhan, China, to Pingtung, Taiwan, in 1946. They then follow him to Yuanlin in central Taiwan, where he nearly lost his life during the 228 Incident of 1947. Later, in Taipei, he became involved with the mysterious Bai Tuan (White Group), a secretive organization of former Japanese military officers.
John and Hudson also discuss immigration to the United States and the complicated family relationships that inspired him to turn his family history into fiction. (BTW, some listeners might know Hudson as Leeway (藍力威) from his time with the Taiwanese-American pop group Cool Silly (傻酷, Shǎ Kù).)
