News Release Research Express@NCKU - News Release Research Express@NCKU Volume 22 Issue 8 - July 20, 2012 [ http://research.ncku.edu.tw/re/news/e/20120720/1.html ] NCKU touts efforts to preserve cultural heritage on campus NCKU Press Center [Tainan, Taiwan, 3 July 2012] National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, held a news press conference in Taipei June 28 to share the school’s historical treasures and to call for joint efforts among educational institutes nationwide to preserve cultural heritage on campus. Dr. Hong-Sen Yan, vice president of NCKU, hosted the conference, in which he shared his experience in planning and preserving NCKU’s historical heritage. A university should identify its distinctive characteristic and grow with it to achieve excellence in education, said Dr. Yan, adding that it takes time and effort to keep the artifacts with historical significance. Dr. Kuang-Nan Huang, minister without portfolio of the Executive Yuan, Academician Ovid Tzeng of Academia Sinica, and Mr. Chen-Yu Nien, deputy director of Bureau of Cultural Heritage, Ministry of Culture, were present at the conference on behalf of their organizations. They praised NCKU for its resolution and dedication to preserving the school’s historical assets. Many world-renowned universities have their archives to keep the non-current records of the university, allowing the tradition and the spirit to pass down, according to Tzeng, who said NCKU’s aspiration to enlighten the students with the historical heritage is admirable. Dr. Huang emphasized the importance of time and resources in promoting cultural heritage. He noted that people are the key elements of culture assets. NCKU holds numerous valuable historical artifacts, including an Edison generator, BK24 locomotive steam engine, and collections of teaching aids. Exhibitions showing not only artifacts but also stories of NCKU are the essence of the culture heritage, including the School History Exhibition, Exhibition of Purdue-NCKU Project, Exhibition on Ancient Locks and A Glance of Professor Su Xuelin’s Study. NCKU Museum, established in 2007, is the first museum set up on campus in Taiwan for collecting, preserving 1 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release and exhibiting significant historical artifacts of the university, according to Ching-Hwei Chue, director of NCKU Museum. Chue emphasized that cultural properties on campus are an important part of university education. 2 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release Research Express@NCKU Volume 22 Issue 8 - July 20, 2012 [ http://research.ncku.edu.tw/re/news/e/20120720/2.html ] 34 U.S. students join summer Mandarin program at NCKU NCKU Press Center [Tainan, Taiwan, 5 July 2012] The 2012 Taiwan-United States Sister Relations Alliance (TUSA) Summer Scholarship Program kicked off at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) July 2 with 34 students from 22 American universities ready to study Mandarin Chinese in a program integrating intriguing cultural sessions and travel excursions in Taiwan. Gary G. Oba, chief of American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Kaohsiung Branch, quoted a well-known Chinese proverb which means “No pain, no gain” to encourage the students to take advantage of the learning opportunity. During the nearly-two-month stay in Taiwan, these 34 Taiwan-US Alliance Ambassadors will dedicate themselves to building international relationships while enjoying an incomparable immersive learning experience. NCKU Executive Vice President Huey-Jen Jenny Su, on behalf of President Hwung-Hweng Hwung, welcomed the students as she introduced NCKU to them, pointing out NCKU’s outstanding performance in areas such as engineering and medicine. The TUSA program provides a quality Mandarin Chinese immersion program with emphasis on speaking and simultaneous focus on all other areas of the language -- listening, reading and writing. Chinese is a beautiful language but not easy to learn, said Oba, adding that it’s definitely a pleasure to learn Chinese at the beautiful campus of NCKU, a university that he said has rich historical heritage. Cameron Tucker, one of the TUSA ambassadors who had learned Chinese for two years, said that he had a friend in America, a graduate of NCKU, who introduced to him some customs and culture about Taiwan that are very interesting. Expecting real Taiwanese experience during the visit, Tucker, an engineer major, said he has resolved to master Chinese language skills in the summer program and plans to study at NCKU in the future. The design of the courses centered on Taiwanese culture, including Mandarin Chinese classes, lectures on the language learning and Chinese culture, language exchange, one-on-one language class, Chinese word play, calligraphy, Chinese painting, Taichi, and a field trip to the historical sites in Tainan. 1 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release 2 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release Research Express@NCKU Volume 22 Issue 8 - July 20, 2012 [ http://research.ncku.edu.tw/re/news/e/20120720/3.html ] NCKU students shine in International Dragon Boat Race NCKU Press Center [Tainan, Taiwan, 4 July 2012] A team of 43 students from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, outdid other teams by winning the championship of female dragon boat race, the third place of male dragon boat race and the teamwork title in the 2012 International Tainan City Dragon Boat Race Championship (台南市國際龍 舟錦標賽) hosted by Tainan City Government June 23 to 27. This is the best record NCKU dragon boat team has obtained so far, according to Chung Bao-Yi, captain of the team which intends to recruit more students who are interested in boat racing. A total of 179 teams from government agencies, schools and social groups participated in the annual event on Tainan City Canal. The team, organized in 2010, owes the credit to Kung Hung-Ming, the coach who is patient and persistent in coaching team members. In the past three years, the team members whose muscles are building bigger from continuous and long-hour practice have enjoyed greeting each other by showing off their muscle in the upper arms. Before the annual competition, the team had spent the whole semester training, including paddling practice at the swimming pool, and physical training at the Banyan Tree Garden, according to Captain Chung, who added that they had great fun in the practice. Joining the Dragon Boat competition is a unique experience for a university student, said Chung, as it may be an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get trained as a professional rower of a dragon boat. A total of 18 people is required to row a large dragon boat when 5 players are needed to play a basketball game and 9 players, a baseball game, said Chung, who was amazed by the harmonious collaboration the team needed to win a dragon boat race. “It’s wonderful to have 18 people rowing together in a boat race”, said Emily Chiu, a student of Foreign Languages and Literature at NCKU, adding that the experience is 1 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release so invaluable that she is inspired and ready to face all challenges ahead with the same spirit of rowing a dragon boat. 2 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release Research Express@NCKU Volume 22 Issue 8 - July 20, 2012 [ http://research.ncku.edu.tw/re/news/e/20120720/4.html ] Distinguished aviator donates to set up NCKU aerospace fund NCKU Press Center [Tainan, Taiwan, 10 July 2012] Hischun (Mike) Hua, former executive vice president and general manager Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) and U-2 pilot, donated the majority of his life's savings to National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) July 6 to help boost Taiwan’s aerospace industry and cultivate talent in aeronautical research. Hua, a retired 87-year-old general, who is currently based in the United States, was quoted by former Aerospace Industrial Development Corp. Chairman Yeou-kuang Shung, as saying that he decided to donate NT$15 million (US $501,680) to NCKU because aeronautical studies are vital to a nation, but do not get the attention they deserve in Taiwan. It’s truly generous of General Hua to gift his own saving to fund aerospace studies at NCKU, where he once taught, and future domestic aeronautical industry development, according to president Hwung-hweng Hwung who was honored on behalf of NCKU to receive Hua’s donation. With the donation, Aeronautics and Astronautics of NCKU will set up aerospace scholarship and an outstanding aviation engineer award and conduct research on domestic aviation policy and most importantly, to launch a think tank dedicated to providing feasible solutions to current technical and operational problems of the field in Taiwan. Hua, long seen as a legendary figure in Taiwan’s aviation, flew the high-altitude spy plane over China between 1959- 63 as a pilot with the Air Force's 35th Squadron, known as the "Black Cat Squadron," which assisted the U.S. in reconnaissance missions over China during the Cold War. Known as the father of aviation in Taiwan, Hua also played a major role in the development of Taiwan's military planes, overseeing the design of the TCH-1 turboprop trainer, the more advanced AT-3 transonic jet- trainer, the XC-2 transport aircraft and the locally built Indigenous Defense Fighter. Hua received the Distinguished Engineering Alumnus Award of Purdue University in 1990 for his exceptional technical, managerial, and diplomatic accomplishments, which have led to significant contributions in the aerospace industry. Hua has been awarded several local military decorations in recognition of his significant contributions to national security, as well as the U.S.' Distinguished Flying Cross. 1 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release 2 of 2 Research Express@NCKU - News Release Research Express@NCKU Volume 22 Issue 8 - July 20, 2012 [ http://research.ncku.edu.tw/re/news/e/20120720/5.html ] Taiwan, UK academics propose re-development plan for Tainan City NCKU Press Center [Tainan, Taiwan, 12 July 2012] Professors and students of National Cheng Kung University and Architecture School of Architecture Association (AA), United Kingdom, have jointly explored possible approaches to the urban development of Tainan City in southern Taiwan.

Lars Laamann, Department of History, School of History, Religions and Philosophies, SOAS University of London Conversion to Christianity. A powerful concept which, in the case of China’s modern history, evokes the most controversial reactions, ranging from intercultural exchange to the imposition of alien concepts and the outright imposition of colonial superstructures. Barbara Hoster’s doctoral research topic is, however, of a distinctly different nature. Rather than analysing the impact of Western missions overseas, Hoster dissects the mind of a young woman, who had arrived during the 1920s in France as a student and whose profuse writings focused on the encounter of different cultural, political and not least gender-related discourses in the shape of people who became part of the young author’s life. “Conversion to Christianity in modern Chinese literature: Su Xuelin’s novel Jixin (Heart of Thorns, 1929)” thus describes the tribulations of a young woman who felt at odds with the ‘progressive’ winds which were sweeping the intellectual landscape of the 1920s, and who reacted by seeking solace in the spiritual world which she encountered during her sojourn at the Institut Franco-Chinois in Lyon during the early 1920s.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) tt Abstract This thesis is a comprehensive thematic study of the unique prose poetry collection Wild Grass by the famous modern Chinese writer Lu Xun. It provides a general survey of previous Wild Grass studies both in China and abroad in the past 70 years in Chapter 1. The survey clarifies the achievements and defects of those studies, and finds that they are still insufficient and can and should be further expanded. By employing a comprehensive methodology, including close reading, rhetorical analysis, intertextual interpretation, and some standard psychoanalytic insights, the thesis explores the themes of Wild Grass on three different levels.

  • Women and Feminism in the Literary History of Early-Twentieth-Century China 1
    Notes Introduction: Women and Feminism in the Literary History of Early-Twentieth-Century China 1. These various renderings of “feminism” can be found in texts from the period covered in this study. While often used interchangeably, they carry slightly dif- ferent connotations. 2. In addition to calling for a radical transformation of Confucian social mores and values prejudicial to women, early feminists also demanded concrete recognition of women’s social and political rights. Prominent among these were the eradication of foot binding, equal rights in inheritance, access to edu- cation and the professions, marital freedoms, including the right to choose one’s own partner and to divorce, the right to vote and be elected to public office, and the abolition of the practice of child-brides, concubinage, and prostitution. 3.

  • Writing Lives in China: the Case of Yang Jiang a DISSERTATION
    Writing Lives in China: the Case of Yang Jiang A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jesse L. Field IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Paul Rouzer June, 2012 © Jesse Field 2012 i Acknowledgements My advisor, Paul Rouzer, introduced me to Tan yi lu (On the art of poetry, 1946) and Guan zhui bian (Chapters on pipe and awl, 1978) by Qian Zhongshu (1910-1998). I was fascinated, puzzled and intimidated by these strange and difficult texts. When I looked up Qian Zhongshu, I found that his wife Yang Jiang (b. 1911) had penned a memoir called Women sa (We three, 2003), about Qian’s death and the life he, she and their daughter Qian Yuan (1937-1995) had had together. I read the text and was deeply moved. Moreover, I was struck that Yang Jiang’s writing was a kind of contemporary manifestation of classical Chinese poetry. I decided to take a closer look. Thanks to Ann Waltner, Wang Liping, and my classmates in the 2006-7 graduate seminar in Chinese history for discussions and encouragement to begin this project. My first paper on Yang Jiang received invaluable feedback from participants in the 2007 “Writing Lives in China” workshop at the University of Sheffield, especially Margaretta Jolly and Wu Pei-yi. A grant from the CLA Graduate Research Partnership Program (GRPP) in the summer of that year helped me translate We Three. Parts of this dissertation underwent discussion at meetings of the Association for Asian Studies in 2009 and 2011 and, perhaps even more fruitfully, at the Midwest and Southwest Regional conferences for Asian Studies in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

  • In Search of Taiwaneseness in Modern Taiwan Poetry
    In Search of Taiwaneseness in Modern Taiwan Poetry Julia Schulz Introduction Speaking of modern Taiwan poetry in the 20th century involves not only the question of what can be classified as modern poetry, but confronts one even more with the problem of defining Taiwan literature in general. Is there such thing as a distinct modern Taiwan poetry? What justifies to distinguish it from modern Chinese poetry? In short, what makes Taiwan poetry Taiwanese? Approaching these questions from the basis of the island’s literary history, the following paper shall try to sort out possible criteria for the definition of the ‘Taiwaneseness’ of modern Taiwan poetry. Considering the different influences that shaped its development in regard to formal, linguistic and thematic matters, we shall look into the different phases of Taiwan’s history beginning with the Japanese colonial period and moving into post-war Taiwan in the second part. In a short summary, three proposed criteria will be discussed in more detail against the background of the historical developments. Early Influences—The Japanese Colonial Period While important literary and linguistic movements took place in early 20th century China, Taiwan had already become part of the Japanese colonial empire. 28 SOS 11 · 1 (2012) The island’s cession to Japan in 1895 not only sealed its break with the Chinese motherland, but also with its various developments. Japanese language education became compulsory and Japanese the only means of communication where public life was concerned. Despite those measures and because of restricted entrance to Taiwan’s uni- versities, some Taiwanese attended higher education in China into the early 1930s.

Jon Eugene von Kowallis ȘAbstractș Xuelin “the greatest writer of literary prose among all women authors.” A returned student from France, Su had also achieved academic rank and position. But her sudden and vitriolic attack on Lu Xun shortly after his death turned into what she herself came to describe as “an enterprise which has taken up nearly half my life,” and which in turn may well have had negative repercussions on her own reputation and career. For this reason, the question of what motivated these attacks has become a puzzle both to scholars of Lu Xun studies and within the field of modern Chinese literary history in general. Various scholars on mainland China have offered theories, but none have brought forth decisive evidence. The American-Australian author of this paper, who studied Chinese literature and philosophy in Taiwan during the martial law era, attempts to offer a way forward by re-situating the “puzzle” within its original historical contexts, both on the mainland and in Taiwan.

Dr. Perry Link guided me through the palace of twentieth-century Chinese literature and encouraged me to study Decadence in modern Chinese literature in comparison with Western Decadence combining the methodology of literary studies and cultural history studies. All of them have been extremely generous in offering me their valuable advices from their expertise, which made this adventure eye-opening and spiritually satisfying. My special gratitude goes to Dr. Link. His broad knowledge and profound understanding of Chinese literature and society, his faith in and love of seeking the truth, and his concern about the fate of ordinary people are inexhaustible sources of inspiration to me.
