Features: For mainland readers, Taiwanese prose is like a landscape neither too distant nor too close. It's not too far because many Taiwanese writers have become wildly popular in mainland China at one point or another. Though separated by countless peaks and valleys and mountain passes, the vast geographical barrier cannot stop the gentle whispers of the muses' oars. Thus, the sound of wind and rain stirred by the pens of literary masters on the other side of the strait echoes through the depths of time and space, resounding with a rustling sound. It's 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 the green forests and deep gorges, glimpse the true faces of Buddhist temples and gardens, 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 access points, and after some joyful exploration, gain a holographic view of Chinese literature.
