Pai Hsien-yung
Expelled from home for his sexuality, the young A-Qing joins the hidden community of gay youths who gather after dark in Taipei's New Park, a secret 'kingdom of the night' with its own laws and legends. Pai maps the real city of the early 1970s: New Park with its lotus pond, the bar the outcasts open together, the family homes and military-dependents' villages they are cast out of, and the neon nightlife of Ximending.
