Taiwan Docs

The nativist writer, YEH Shih-tao, was a literary master in Taiwan. With the premise of Taiwan consciousness, he wrote A History of Taiwanese Literature to lay the foundation for our literature. During his writing career spanning over sixty years, he went through the Japanese Colonial Period and was once imprisoned during White Terror and barely survived.

While telling his life stories, the documentary depicts how the Taiwanese writers have been struggling to overcome adversity for the past hundred years.
