Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise Book Presentation by Jenna Tang

Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise is a pivotal book in Taiwan’s #MeToo movement, flipping the traditional “Lolita” narrative to explore women’s vulnerability and survival. Thirteen-year-old Si-Chi, living in an affluent community, falls victim to Lee Guo-hua, a revered teacher and serial predator. Her parents, unaware of his true nature, accept his tutoring offer. Si-Chi, grappling with trauma, turns to literature for solace, transforming her ordeal into a twisted “first love paradise” to survive. This chilling tale reveals the power structures enabling abuse and the resilience of victims.  Join the Green School for a conversation with the books English language translator, Jenna Tang.
