The Village at the Center of the World
WELCOME TO WANG TONG
No roads lead there, cars can’t get through, even the local police can’t find it. It’s swampy, unkempt, and popular with snakes. It was love maybe not at first sight, but by the second sight began a love affair with a humble village that lasted for decades.
- Meet Ah-Po, the kindly old farmer and her toy animal execution ground.
- Meet Mr. Lam, who escaped a horrifying event on the beach during the war.
- Meet a variety of other villagers, wildlife, and even some unwelcome intruders.
- And find out how this remote island village might once have been the capital of the Chinese Empire.
This is Larry Feign’s love letter to the place he called home for over thirty years, featuring 80 linked essays and over 90 color photos.
