Summary: | 博士 === 佛光大學 === 中國文學與應用學系 === 103 === A「Roman-Fleuve」 is a story that spans several generations much like a flowing river that never stops. Taiwanese 「Roman-Fleuve」stories are not few in number, such as Hakka writer Wu-Zhuo Liu’s Orphan of Asia, Chung Chao Chang’s Turbial Currents, and Lee Ciao’s The Trilogy of Wintry Night. Moreover, all of these writers are teachers with similar backgrounds so I choose them as the subject of my research.
The story involves a thought analysis of the Hakka people’s ethnicity, personality traits, thought archetypes, complexes (from the collective unconsciousness) and inferiority complexes and a compensatory place of reverie. From this thought background, the story delves into the hardships endured by Taiwanese in their daily lives under Japanese colonial during World War II and under Taiwan’s military control over the people’s thinking.
A「Roman-Fleuve」traces the generational changes of a family as seen through their interactions. Writers Wu-Zhuo Liu's Orphan of Asia, Chung Chao Chang's Turbial Currents ,Lee Ciao's The Trilogy of Wintry Night have written novels that are referred to as semi-autobiographic works of fiction in academia. A creative style is not only imaginary in regard to the who, when, where and what but also gives a special impression of the reality of everyday life in fiction.
Through virtual and personal experience, history and fiction are fused together.
In addition these works of fiction are not highlights of Hakka culture but a mixture of what is true and what is imaginary. This article is an analysis of Hakka writers’ Roman-Fleuve. Hakka has become literature’s Individuality. So this thesis also use the Hakka view as a thinking point.
