But his later research for Condemning 1947 deepened his understanding of the injustices Taiwanese had suffered, showing him that during the jittery, autocratic early years of the Nationalist government's rule of Taiwan, the common people really did have to behave like Little Sister Ang to survive.
儘管李喬表示當時並沒有這樣的想法，但是在書寫《埋冤 1947 埋冤》，深刻瞭解台灣人所遭受的不公不義後發現，在早期國府威權統治、風聲鶴唳的年代，一般庶民也真的要像「昂妹」一樣，才能活得下去。
