If I were not "queer," I would not know aids.Without knowing aids, I could not be "queer." I would also not be "queer" if it were not for the Cold War.If it were not for the Cold War, aids could not exist.The past lives in memories like a narrative missing transitions.As Marita Sturken writes, "Both the Vietnam War and the aids epidemic have profoundly affected the experience of nationality.Amer i ca is inconceivable without them." 1 Sturken explains that the traumas borne of the Vietnam War and aids interrupted once commonly held "truths" as well as pro gress narratives: " those of American imperialism, technology, science, and masculinity." 2 In turn, there has been widespread cultural productions to revisit these memories and traumas in order to seek a modicum of healing, even where healing must first draw anger, and even when healing-nevertheless a cure-has remained impossible.Both of my parents were born in Nanjing, China, during World War II.At the end of World War II, followed by the Civil War and the ascendancy of the People's Republic of China under Mao, they evacuated to Taiwan as children of the po liti cally privileged Nationalist Party of China (Kuomintang, or kmt).Although they grew up under what they would describe as modest means, they did not experience the most devastating effects of more than thirty-eight years of martial law-the second-longest period of military rule in modern history after Syria and Israel-installed by the kmt to violently suppress Native re sis tance, leftists, Taiwanese in de pen dence, and/or pro-Japanese agitators
