Ten Years Coming and Going: Mainland China Through the Eyes of a Taiwanese Cultural Figure (1988-2003)

Description

Authors: Lin Guzhen / Sun Xiaoning
Publisher: The Commercial Press

Content summary:
This book is a record of veteran media figure Sun Xiaoning's interviews with the Zen figure and cultural commentator Lin Guzhen, looking back over Lin Guzhen's travels in mainland China between the opening of cross-strait relations in 1988 and 2003. A Taiwanese cultural figure brimming with the texture of life and a feeling for Eastern culture verifies the truth and falsity of what life has taught him. Cross-strait observations conducive to communication between peoples were already carried out in "Coming and Going over Ten Years."

Many of the matters he spoke of back then — such as traditional culture, the distinction between traditional and simplified Chinese characters, the hope for epic works in the writing of grand history, and the reading of cross-strait popular sentiment, and so on — were only truly discussed by perceptive figures on this side in recent years, sparking broad attention at the societal level.
