Little Sister Ang, who only appears in The Lonely Lantern, spends most of her life dealing with the realities of post-war Taiwan, "eating garbage and bearing the unbearable." Was Lee foreshadowing that Taiwanese would need to behave in the same manner to survive in the post-war era?
這個在《孤燈》中才出現的「昂妹」，大半輩子面對的是終戰後的台灣，「難吃能吃、難忍能忍」的個性，莫非是作者希望終戰後的台灣人民，要像她一樣「吃乎肥肥、裝乎捶捶」，才能勇敢且莊嚴的活下去而預留伏筆嗎？
