"China's pride of ownership is all too familiar to most Taiwanese, who are constantly bombarded by Beijing's assertions that they live in a political never-never land, lacking all the elementary accouterments of statehood." — From an Associated Press article by Annie Huang, February 16, 2012
Did you know?
The phrase "never-never land" is linked to Peter Pan, although it did not
originate with that creation of the Scottish playwright Sir James Barrie. In
Barrie's original 1904 play, Peter befriends the real-world children of the
Darling family and spirits them off for a visit to Never Land, where children can
fly and never have to become adults. Then, in his 1908 sequel When Wendy Grew Up, Barrie
changed the name to Never Never Land, and subsequent versions of the earlier
play incorporated that change. People had been using "never-never
land" for a place that was overly idealistic or romantic since at least
1900, but the influence of Peter
Pan on the word's popularity
and staying-power cannot be discounted.
