Taiwan's Pro-Independence Literature Slammed

A group of writers and researchers, including those from both China's mainland and Taiwan Province, gathered here Monday to condemn pro-independence literature published in the island province since the 1970s.

The meeting was sponsored by the Chinese Writers Association to discuss a book, titled "Criticism on 'Pro-Taiwan-Independence Literature'", which will be published in the mainland and Taiwan simultaneously, according to the organizer.

The book will be the first of its kind to criticize the kind of literary works which aim to distort and lessen the historic impact on Taiwan's new literature by China's new literature, beautify the "imperial literature" of Taiwan, and make the Minnan (Southern Fujian) Dialect an independent "national language."

Scholars from Taiwan praised the publishing of the book, saying that in the past, people have paid great attention to the words and actions of the Taiwan authorities, while giving little notice to the "Pro-Taiwan-Independence-Literature" that has been going on silently. The book will help more Taiwan compatriots recognize that fact and the danger of those kind of literary works, they noted.

The participants were all of the same opinion that "Pro-Taiwan-Independence Literature" is the "two-state theory" reflected in the literary field.

Deng Youmei, a deputy chairman of the association and a noted writer in the mainland, said that although writers from the two sides have different ideologies and tastes, they share the same ideas on nationality. The number of writers involved in "Pro-Taiwan-Independence Literature" is only a handful, he added.

Deng urged writers from the two sides to criticize the kind of literary works which are detrimental to the Chinese nation.
