FEATURE: Encrypted apps and false names: New Taiwanese book club takes no chancesThe Guardian, TAIPEIIn the early 1950s in Taiwan, 19-year-old Tsai Kun-lin (蔡焜霖) was arrested and jailed after joining a book club. Decades later, a 90-year-old Tsai is living in Taiwan’s thriving democracy, but said that a book club has once again become an act of resistance. Chen said that she sees Tsai’s persecution happening again with the youth of Hong Kong. The book club was born to explore the history of danger in Hong Kong and Taiwan by giving people the time and space to read and research. The book club is to begin on Dec. 1 with an interview with Lam.
