Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise by Lin Yi-Han is a pivotal book in Taiwan’s #MeToo movement, flipping the traditional “Lolita” narrative to explore women’s vulnerability and survival. Thirteen-year-old Si-Chi, living in an affluent community, falls victim to Lee Guo-Hua, a revered teacher and serial predator. Her parents, unaware of his true nature, accept his tutoring offer. Si-Chi, grappling with trauma, turns to literature for solace, transforming her ordeal into a twisted “first love paradise” to survive. This chilling tale reveals the power structures enabling abuse and the resilience of victims. Lin Yi-Han (1991–2017) was a Taiwanese writer. Her first and only novel, Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise, sold over a million copies globally. The novel won several prizes, including the Open Book Best Fiction Award and the Liang Yu-Sen Literary Award, and became a feminist manifesto across Asia.
