The Chinese​-​Cuban Question Part 2: What were the causes?

from Jen Shyu : Jade Tongue by Jen Shyu

/

lyrics

"...The new administrator was cruel as a wolf or a tiger and his heart was as venomous as that of a snake. A certain Ch’en A-tsao not being able to endure the ill-treatment jumped into a sugar caldron; Lien A-hsing suffering from a bad leg and unable to work, on being forced to labour hanged himself; Liu Pai-jen was flogged by the administrator till he spat blood and died..."
