For many people who grew up on the mainland, Hong Kong has been the doorway to the newest fashion trends and pop culture since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Over the past 70 years, the interaction has become a two-way flow on all fronts, with the nation’s growing ’60s influence and the closer links between the mainland and Hong Kong.

  • Bai Xianyong in Translation: Wandering Through a Garden, Waking from a Dream
    Bai Xianyong in Translation: Wandering through a Garden, Waking from a Dream Morgan Brown Asian Languages and Civilizations Departmental Honors Thesis University of Colorado at Boulder April 7, 2015 Thesis Advisor Andrew Stuckey, Asian Languages and Civilizations Committee Members Dimitri Nakassis, Classics Andrew Stuckey, Asian Languages and Civilizations Matthias L. Richter, Asian Languages and Civilizations Brown 1 Introduction: Bai Xianyong, the author of “Wandering through a Garden, Waking from a Dream” is known today as one of Taiwan’s most prominent modernist short story writers. He was born during 1937 in Mainland China’s Guilin to a Nationalist family, his father a high-ranking general in the Nationalist army as well as defense minister for a brief time. Bai was later forced to move to Taiwan in 1952 with his family, reuniting with his father after the Nationalist army’s forced retreat. He spent the remainder of his childhood with his family in Taiwan, finally entering National Taiwan University’s Foreign Language Department where he began his writing career. Most notably, during his years at university, Bai Xianyong, along with several literarily inclined classmates, established the bimonthly literary journal Xiandai Wenxue (Modern Literature ), for the purpose of introducing Taiwan to Western modernist writers such as Kafka, Faulkner, and Woolf as well as publishing up-and-coming Taiwanese writers interested in the modernist style. Apart from his role in editing Xiandai Wenxue , Bai also published many of his short stories during these four years leading to the eventual publication of his larger collections of short stories including People of Taipei in 1973, a collection of stories, of which “Wandering through a Garden, Waking from a Dream” is a part, which is widely considered to be his masterpiece.

Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.
