6. See my paper "T'ai-wan hsin-wen-hsueh yun-tung li-lun shih-ch'i chih chien-t'ao, 1920-1923" (A Critique of the Theoretical Phase of the Taiwanese New Literature Movement, 1920-1923), which has relatively more detailed evidence. "Chin-tai T'ai-wan li-shih yu wen-hua hsueh-shu yen-t'ao-hui" (Academic Symposium on Modern Taiwanese History and Culture). Institute of Social Sciences, Academica Sinica, June, 1991.

     7. See my "Hsien-chieh-tuan T'ai-yu wen-hsueh chih fa-chan chi-ch'i i-i" (The Development and Its Significance of Literature in Taiwanese at the Present Stage), Wen-hsueh T'ai-wan (Literary Taiwan), Vol. 3, pp. 12-31.

     8. In a certain sense, this was how the post-war generation, under a KMT system of education, continued the leftist literary tradition of Taiwan from the people, discovered a completely different world of literature, and came to understand, from the oral evidence of Yang K'uei and other documents, the anti-Japanese movement of peasant organizations and the Taiwanese Communist Party during the Japanese occupation period.   Lin Tsai-chueh became acquainted with a very special farmer across the way from Tung-hai University, and since Lin Tsai-chueh and I were classmates at T'ai-nan First Middle School, later on I also got to meet Yang K'uei. Lin Tsai-chueh was born in 1951 and was one of the earliest of this generation to write an article about Taiwanese literature. Afterwards, he published in succession such articles as: "Jih-chu shih-tai T'ai-wan wen-hsueh te hui-ku" (Looking Back Over Taiwanese Literature During the Japanese Occupation Era), Wen-chi (Literary Season), Vol. 3;

     "Hei-ch'ao hsia te pei-ko: Chang Shen-ch'ieh te li-ch'eng" (A Sad Song Beneath the Black Waves: the Course Taken by Chang Shen-ch'ieh); "Jen-k'an ts'ang-sheng han-ju: Lai Ho hsien-sheng te wen-hsueh" (To Endure Watching the Common People Bear Humiliation: the Writings of Lai Ho)., all of which break new ground. During the same period, Chang Liang-tse, who started the trend towards research on Taiwanese literature and was born in 1938, had taken a teaching position in the Chinese Department of Ch'eng-kung University when he returned from his studies in Japan. Afterwards Lin Tsai-chueh made modern Chinese intellectual history his field and taught for several years in the History Department of Tung-hai University; he then went to study in England and shifted his focus of research to modern Western intellectual history.
