本书是臧英年先生的自选文章和照片。臧先生1932年出生于中国。抗战时期在四川省三台县长大，当时其父臧启芳为国立东北大学校长。1949年臧先生随父亲赴台，考入海军机械学校和台湾大学机械系，并于1962年任何应钦将军参谋兼译员。退役后，臧先生于1967年离台赴美，进入华盛顿大学攻读教育心理专业，获硕士学位，并在西雅图社区学院任心理辅导师16年。上世纪90年代初，臧先生赴中国启动控烟活动，期间成为中央电台英语节目（CCTV）的时事评论员。自1970年代初，臧先生开始为十余种报刊撰写文章，笔耕不辍，50多年来积累了几百篇时事评论、历史回顾和个人感悟。2022年，臧先生将这些文章编纂成集，自费出版。这些文字反应了臧先生在过去50多年对中美台关系发展的深刻观察，对我们理解当今的世界局势具有特殊的现实意义。

Born in 1950 in a well know intellectual family in China, the author grew up and live through the turmoil of a series of political movements culminating in the Culture Revolution (1966-1976) when he was sent to hard labor in the hinder-land and impecunious mountains in Shanxi province where he learned the hard reality of Chinese peasants. Returning to Beijing three years later with a different perspective, he made friends with many with same world view and self-taught youth, including some died of tragic death and others got rich years later. From his own experience, the author painted a sketch in this book, with his keen eyes and succinct style of writing, his generation of "lost youth", how these "orphan youth" lived through the chaos, what they have learned, and how the lifelong friendship developed.
