Features: For mainland readers, Taiwanese prose is like a landscape that is neither too far nor too close. It is not too far because many Taiwanese writers have become wildly popular in mainland China at some point or another. Though separated by countless mountains and rivers and vast geographical barriers, the gentle whispers of the muses, rowed by their oars, cannot be stopped. Thus, the sounds of wind and rain stirred by the pens of literary masters on the other side of the strait have echoed through the depths of time and space, resounding with a rustling sound. It is not too close because the beautiful scenery of deep mountains and lush valleys, though picturesque, is rarely experienced by those who can only gaze from afar. How many can stoop down, take the steps, wander among them, and see the true faces of green forests and deep gorges, or plunge into the water to feel its warmth and coolness? Therefore, in today's era of long-open maritime restrictions and gradually improving cross-strait exchanges, it is more necessary than ever to showcase the overall image of Taiwanese prose. This will allow mainland readers to enter this vast beauty from more perspectives, and after some joyful exploration, gain a holographic view of Chinese literature.
