Grandma Dark-Meat: Peanuts Brought Happiness

This book tells the story of Qingshui (nicknamed 'Dark-Meat'), a Taiwanese woman during the Japanese colonial period. It describes her journey from being the daughter of a wealthy landlord to becoming an adopted daughter for the Weng family, laboring tirelessly in harsh conditions and growing with resilience despite being unable to attend school. Through the details of farming and daily life in the fields of Yunlin, the book showcases female tenacity—like a peanut plant that roots itself and flourishes despite poor environments. This is a picture book that documents local culture and the life history of women.
