Cai Sufen (Chinese: 蔡素芬) is a Taiwanese novelist, working for the Liberty Times. Her best known books, The Child of Salt Pan and The Olive Tree, describe the life and development of a mother and her daughter. The Olive Tree, after being featured on the Taiwanese Oprah equivalent Long-Si Ho's (there are very few Black women in the entertainment industry in Taiwan, but, like Oprah who is popular across racial boundaries, Long-Si is of Vietnamese extraction) Book of the Month Club, became a runaway best-seller. A great controversy was born when the State Television Network of China ran a secretly taped video of the Taiwanese politician Chang Chun-hsiung offering a tear-filled endorsement of the book, for which he was roundly lampooned in the national media.
