3
00:00:21,376 --> 00:00:24,292
Has Lin not come?

4
00:00:24,584 --> 00:00:27,876
Last month, he left to study in Tokyo.

5
00:00:28,376 --> 00:00:31,084
This is the painter Fukui Keiichi.

6
00:00:31,292 --> 00:00:33,459
He has just returned from Tokyo.

7
00:00:34,042 --> 00:00:36,167
This is Zhang Liang-dian.

8
00:00:36,542 --> 00:00:39,292
He goes to medical school in Taipei.

9
00:00:40,876 --> 00:00:44,042
Now, Li, Ota,

10
00:00:44,542 --> 00:00:47,167
please, have a seat.

11
00:00:56,501 --> 00:00:57,417
Three

12
00:00:57,834 --> 00:00:58,709
Two

13
00:00:59,084 --> 00:01:00,084
One

14
00:01:58,376 --> 00:02:02,376
《風車3》 ，1934
<i>Le Moulin 3</i>, 1934

15
00:02:26,292 --> 00:02:27,251
Lin Xiu-er,

16
00:02:27,334 --> 00:02:28,501
Zhang Liang-dian,

17
00:02:28,584 --> 00:02:29,709
Shimamoto Teppei,

18
00:02:29,792 --> 00:02:31,126
Toda Fusako,

19
00:02:31,209 --> 00:02:32,501
Kishi Reiko.

20
00:02:34,626 --> 00:02:36,042
What is poetry?

21
00:02:36,126 --> 00:02:39,917
We cut down symmetry and combine, that's how poetry is made.

22
00:02:40,001 --> 00:02:42,626
This is the secret of the poet's esprit.

23
00:03:10,667 --> 00:03:13,251
I close my eyes

24
00:03:13,334 --> 00:03:15,126
to see the silent things...

25
00:03:15,709 --> 00:03:19,417
The wonders that arise in my dreams.

26
00:03:20,376 --> 00:03:23,834
Spinning peach-colored sweetness...

27
00:03:24,751 --> 00:03:29,501
Spring clings to the broken memories

28
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:33,584
like a flurried mind in a dream.

29
00:03:35,042 --> 00:03:37,542
Blue balloon

30
00:03:38,251 --> 00:03:40,042
floats below the sun.

31
00:03:40,126 --> 00:03:42,959
I am always walking around.

32
00:03:44,417 --> 00:03:46,792
This blurred scene...

33
00:03:47,834 --> 00:03:51,501
Pleasant people laugh loudly:

34
00:03:51,584 --> 00:03:54,292
pretended pleasantness.

35
00:03:54,626 --> 00:03:58,876
A sin made with their screaming laughter

36
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:02,084
trails beneath the rainbow.

37
00:04:03,084 --> 00:04:06,751
And still I'm always walking by.

38
00:04:07,542 --> 00:04:09,167
On this hill

39
00:04:09,251 --> 00:04:12,042
the shadows of balloons are everywhere;

40
00:04:12,834 --> 00:04:15,876
I walk in silence...

41
00:04:16,542 --> 00:04:18,042
If I make a sound,

42
00:04:18,126 --> 00:04:20,001
my inner world

43
00:04:20,084 --> 00:04:23,584
surely will rouse the outside world!

44
00:04:24,417 --> 00:04:29,084
The world of reality is nothing but the brain.
The aim of surreal art is to defeat this brain.

45
00:04:29,167 --> 00:04:31,709
Poetry creates a vacuum-desert in the brain;

46
00:04:31,792 --> 00:04:36,959
then through striking sensation, sentiment,
ideas that exist in reality could purify the brain.

47
00:04:37,042 --> 00:04:39,251
This is one method.

48
00:04:45,376 --> 00:04:49,376
To Lin Xiu-er

49
00:04:56,084 --> 00:04:58,542
Sometimes the <i>Taiwan Daily News</i>

50
00:04:58,626 --> 00:05:02,792
publishes specialty reviews.

51
00:05:02,876 --> 00:05:05,001
Here, Nishikawa Mituru's influence

52
00:05:05,084 --> 00:05:06,959
was strongly felt.

53
00:05:07,417 --> 00:05:11,417
<i>Tainan Daily News</i> was in a slump once,

54
00:05:11,501 --> 00:05:15,417
but recently it shows signs of rebirth.

55
00:05:15,709 --> 00:05:19,417
Contributors have formed a tight group,

56
00:05:19,751 --> 00:05:25,501
and I think it is wonderful.

57
00:05:26,709 --> 00:05:27,876
One of these writers

58
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,001
is Shuiyin Ping (Yang Chi-chang).

59
00:05:31,084 --> 00:05:32,334
We are close friends,

60
00:05:32,417 --> 00:05:37,042
and this bond keeps me from commenting on him.

61
00:05:37,126 --> 00:05:39,542
But let's look forward to

62
00:05:39,626 --> 00:05:43,001
what will come of his work.

63
00:05:53,542 --> 00:05:56,042
Sometimes in a pipe.

64
00:05:56,126 --> 00:06:00,292
I see dreams of vivid blue beans:

65
00:06:00,376 --> 00:06:05,126
a skylark making a nest of shells.

66
00:06:05,792 --> 00:06:07,292
This is intellect's bohemian;

67
00:06:07,376 --> 00:06:10,417
it can be said.

68
00:06:10,501 --> 00:06:14,626
With pipe in mouth I walk to a field.

69
00:06:15,459 --> 00:06:20,001
The skylark's nest was not a shell.

70
00:06:20,084 --> 00:06:25,542
Literary intellect is not within this nature.

71
00:06:26,334 --> 00:06:28,626
Sitting in the middle of a grass field

72
00:06:28,709 --> 00:06:30,876
pouring liquor of moonlight

73
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:34,667
there's no literary intellect.

74
00:06:35,751 --> 00:06:36,709
However,

75
00:06:36,792 --> 00:06:40,251
I know this imagination is but

76
00:06:40,334 --> 00:06:43,792
one of intellect's extraordinary forms.

77
00:06:44,251 --> 00:06:47,042
In the world of thoughts

78
00:06:47,126 --> 00:06:51,626
hidden intellect awaits its unearthing.

79
00:06:53,042 --> 00:07:00,417
Sparks flying from burning eyes are the poet's esprit.
"Burning Hair" becomes the festival of poesy...

80
00:07:05,501 --> 00:07:08,542
Shuiyin Ping, you are now traveling among

81
00:07:08,626 --> 00:07:11,251
the cherry blossoms in Japan.

82
00:07:11,334 --> 00:07:14,292
Raised as a man of Taiwan

83
00:07:14,376 --> 00:07:16,876
How joyous it is for you.

84
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:18,542
Your first journey in Japan.

85
00:07:18,626 --> 00:07:20,209
What you see, what you hear,

86
00:07:20,292 --> 00:07:24,334
strain your fine nerves.

87
00:07:25,709 --> 00:07:28,001
What a beautiful poet you are -

88
00:07:28,084 --> 00:07:29,959
you revere Dadaism

89
00:07:30,042 --> 00:07:31,834
and you seek the depths of

90
00:07:31,917 --> 00:07:34,417
Surrealism without stop.

91
00:07:34,501 --> 00:07:36,751
But, my dear Shuiyin Ping,

92
00:07:36,834 --> 00:07:39,959
our crude lives grow more difficult

93
00:07:40,042 --> 00:07:41,792
and so as our higher thoughts

94
00:07:42,417 --> 00:07:46,376
turn to a deepening tomorrow,

95
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:49,834
novel and poetry

96
00:07:49,917 --> 00:07:52,626
should be like wearing jackets inside-out,

97
00:07:52,709 --> 00:07:55,792
and then we can publish them.

98
00:07:56,417 --> 00:07:59,376
In your poetry, something undeniably new

99
00:07:59,459 --> 00:08:02,584
comes through in your expressions.

100
00:08:02,667 --> 00:08:05,292
Under the reign of

101
00:08:05,376 --> 00:08:09,376
sentimental verse of Naturalism,

102
00:08:09,459 --> 00:08:11,251
It was you who didn't look away

103
00:08:11,334 --> 00:08:13,417
but grasped a new poet's motivations

104
00:08:13,501 --> 00:08:15,584
via active, analytical inner life.

105
00:08:15,667 --> 00:08:18,376
Indeed, we wonder at

106
00:08:18,459 --> 00:08:24,209
your unsparing efforts

107
00:08:24,292 --> 00:08:28,501
to refine the originality,

108
00:08:28,584 --> 00:08:33,209
the creativity of this method.

109
00:08:35,626 --> 00:08:38,751
Shuiyin Ping, how was Tokyo?

110
00:08:39,209 --> 00:08:41,042
Many years ago, in Ginza

111
00:08:41,126 --> 00:08:43,751
I met Ryutan Jiyu and Iwato Yukio.

112
00:08:43,834 --> 00:08:47,959
Thanks to them I earned admission to Bunka Gakuin.

113
00:08:48,042 --> 00:08:49,584
Oh, I see.

114
00:08:49,667 --> 00:08:50,876
Yes.

115
00:08:52,417 --> 00:08:56,209
Ah, yes. Hold on.

116
00:08:57,126 --> 00:08:58,751
Here.

117
00:09:00,292 --> 00:09:04,417
Marcel Proust
- Marcel Proust!

118
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:09,959
Oh, right.

119
00:09:13,667 --> 00:09:15,292
Here, look at this.

120
00:09:16,584 --> 00:09:20,209
I see.

121
00:09:40,834 --> 00:09:42,459
Here is a pure poem.

122
00:09:42,542 --> 00:09:45,834
The brain becomes like ultra-peach-colored glass.

123
00:09:45,917 --> 00:09:48,959
And the poem destroyed the brain in this way.

124
00:09:49,042 --> 00:09:50,751
The destroyed brain is scented;

125
00:09:50,834 --> 00:09:52,834
like a destroyed tank of perfume.

126
00:10:07,334 --> 00:10:11,167
A poem from <i>Opera</i> by Jean Cocteau, read by the author:

127
00:10:11,251 --> 00:10:12,959
"The child takers"

128
00:10:13,042 --> 00:10:15,334
Almost naked and suddenly emerging

129
00:10:15,417 --> 00:10:17,959
From a trap of mud and nettles,

130
00:10:18,042 --> 00:10:21,834
The gypsy, on behalf of the circus,

131
00:10:21,917 --> 00:10:24,584
Steals the son of a count.

132
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:26,459
While his mother calls,

133
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:29,251
Wild, standing on the path,

134
00:10:29,334 --> 00:10:32,417
The child, at the top of the ladder,

135
00:10:32,501 --> 00:10:36,751
Was learning how to fly in the circus.

136
00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:09,417
It is possible to fly at any age;

137
00:11:09,501 --> 00:11:12,126
The circus is a kite.

138
00:11:12,209 --> 00:11:15,584
On its fabrics, on its ropes,

139
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:18,292
The child takers fly.

140
00:11:18,376 --> 00:11:21,334
The taken, the takers have wings

141
00:11:21,417 --> 00:11:24,751
At night behind the embankment

142
00:11:24,834 --> 00:11:27,376
Where the cries of a mother

143
00:11:27,459 --> 00:11:31,084
Are not even heard anymore.

144
00:11:51,251 --> 00:11:55,376
《詩與詩論》
<i>Poetry and Poetic Theory</i>

145
00:12:11,417 --> 00:12:14,417
〈新文學的精神〉
"The Spirit of New Literature"

146
00:12:16,751 --> 00:12:18,542
The clocks were

147
00:12:18,626 --> 00:12:22,334
amphibians that rose from the lake.

148
00:12:23,584 --> 00:12:24,834
The globe is now

149
00:12:24,959 --> 00:12:28,417
caught with an intense nostalgia.

150
00:12:30,042 --> 00:12:32,751
In the midst of a historic sunset,

151
00:12:32,834 --> 00:12:35,251
people embrace

152
00:12:36,459 --> 00:12:40,167
A flock of starved, timid sparrows,

153
00:12:40,251 --> 00:12:43,501
a fearful 20th century body,

154
00:12:43,584 --> 00:12:47,584
swoop into the great spectacle.

155
00:12:58,834 --> 00:13:00,542
The tail of smoke

156
00:13:01,626 --> 00:13:04,001
like a detached conversation

157
00:13:05,167 --> 00:13:08,626
risks blossoming and death

158
00:13:09,501 --> 00:13:11,626
The desert's head

159
00:13:12,542 --> 00:13:15,584
void crawled upon combed lines.

160
00:13:16,667 --> 00:13:20,667
The barometer chased a dream

161
00:13:20,751 --> 00:13:22,792
without blinking.

162
00:13:34,751 --> 00:13:36,876
The tongue of wind

163
00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:40,209
The forever clear cobalt sky

164
00:13:40,292 --> 00:13:41,459
Snapping at

165
00:13:41,542 --> 00:13:43,459
your painting

166
00:13:44,376 --> 00:13:47,001
In an ancient poster

167
00:13:47,084 --> 00:13:50,751
the words doze like little pebbles

168
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:54,126
The gallop of feathers

169
00:13:54,209 --> 00:13:57,876
hijacks the conversations of threads

170
00:13:58,459 --> 00:13:59,959
and beasts.

171
00:14:05,667 --> 00:14:08,667
Like human echoes

172
00:14:08,751 --> 00:14:11,584
endlessly burning a silk hat

173
00:14:12,584 --> 00:14:15,251
and the flames

174
00:14:15,334 --> 00:14:19,167
received like ABC

175
00:14:20,167 --> 00:14:23,376
on the night of a lovely lunar eclipse,

176
00:14:23,459 --> 00:14:27,292
silhouettes smiled.

177
00:15:23,459 --> 00:15:25,251
A move from Paris,
Fontaine, number 42

178
00:15:25,334 --> 00:15:28,126
Just then, it's pouring in Nice;
oh, mon Dieu

179
00:15:28,209 --> 00:15:30,209
You and you go opposite directions

180
00:15:30,292 --> 00:15:33,209
Strange ways of speaking in the world...

181
00:15:33,292 --> 00:15:36,584
It is said people worry about being burned

182
00:15:36,667 --> 00:15:40,334
Finally who has arrived,
but, oh, the yellow smile

183
00:15:43,792 --> 00:15:46,417
《衣裳的太陽》
<i>The Sun of the Clothes: l'evolution surrealiste</i>

184
00:15:47,167 --> 00:15:50,167
Separation of established forms of ideas

185
00:15:50,251 --> 00:15:53,251
is inevitably becoming one method

186
00:15:53,334 --> 00:15:55,751
in the new genre of poesy.

187
00:15:55,834 --> 00:15:59,792
These appear as new forms of expression.

188
00:16:01,084 --> 00:16:03,709
Here we have Breton,

00:16:03,792 --> 00:16:05,667
Lautreamont,

190
00:16:05,751 --> 00:16:07,376
Eluard,

191
00:16:07,459 --> 00:16:09,084
Jean Cocteau,

192
00:16:09,167 --> 00:16:10,667
Goll,

193
00:16:10,751 --> 00:16:12,209
Mallarme,

194
00:16:12,292 --> 00:16:14,167
And Stein...

195
00:16:14,251 --> 00:16:16,417
foreign poets' theories of poetry

196
00:16:16,501 --> 00:16:19,667
that have created great works.

197
00:16:20,542 --> 00:16:22,959
Their <i>esprit nouveau</i>

198
00:16:23,042 --> 00:16:25,126
has become the dominant dialectics

199
00:16:25,209 --> 00:16:30,084
and illuminates a new era of Japanese poetry.

200
00:17:04,917 --> 00:17:06,584
Théâtre de l'Odéon

201
00:17:06,667 --> 00:17:09,042
Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt
(Ballets Russes)

202
00:17:09,126 --> 00:17:11,001
Salon des Tuileries

203
00:17:11,084 --> 00:17:13,292
Two tickets are the trolley pass

204
00:17:13,376 --> 00:17:14,751
Louvre

205
00:17:14,834 --> 00:17:16,709
Catacombe
(Also translates as "Skull Cave")

206
00:17:16,792 --> 00:17:18,709
Cirque d'hiver (A famous circus)

207
00:17:18,792 --> 00:17:21,626
A straw bag of a café
near Champs-Élysées

208
00:17:40,292 --> 00:17:42,751
Since the release of Rene Clair's

209
00:17:42,834 --> 00:17:46,917
<i>Under the Roofs of Paris</i>

210
00:17:47,584 --> 00:17:51,542
it was surprising to see

211
00:17:52,084 --> 00:17:54,167
more hunting caps in Ginza,

212
00:17:54,251 --> 00:17:58,584
and 60% of the young men

213
00:17:58,667 --> 00:18:01,042
walk around wearing <i>casquette.</i>

214
00:18:01,126 --> 00:18:03,667
These <i>casquette</i> boys whistle songs

215
00:18:03,751 --> 00:18:05,834
from the film while they wander around.

216
00:18:05,917 --> 00:18:08,792
Everyone is surprised at this.

217
00:18:08,876 --> 00:18:11,751
A friend of mine said

218
00:18:11,834 --> 00:18:15,417
"It's the summer's fault."

219
00:18:15,834 --> 00:18:20,042
The <i>avant-garde</i> gather in the basement of Mitsukoshi

220
00:18:20,126 --> 00:18:25,292
with proud poverty and cultivated cheapness,

221
00:18:25,376 --> 00:18:27,376
they managed to sharpen their interests

222
00:18:27,459 --> 00:18:30,376
instead of refining their tastes.

223
00:18:30,876 --> 00:18:32,792
After flunking my entrance exam,

224
00:18:32,876 --> 00:18:36,459
I wandered about in Tokyo,

225
00:18:36,709 --> 00:18:43,167
I sensed their zest from the table in Ginza

226
00:18:43,251 --> 00:18:48,667
and delicate, complex poetic-emotion

227
00:18:48,751 --> 00:18:53,292
in elocution, or <i>elan vital.</i>

228
00:19:33,251 --> 00:19:35,001
Loftiness is the blossom of clarity.

229
00:19:35,084 --> 00:19:37,126
The flower measured the city standards

230
00:19:37,209 --> 00:19:39,792
A wavelength of charm through tobacco smoke

231
00:19:39,876 --> 00:19:43,584
and a pure white dress stabilized the drumming breasts.

232
00:20:06,959 --> 00:20:08,876
I fumbled with a blue menu

233
00:20:08,959 --> 00:20:12,709
The unique symphony is the melancholia of beaten lips

234
00:20:12,792 --> 00:20:13,959
Grade Osaka

235
00:20:14,042 --> 00:20:18,501
On the white terrace of Brasilerio the angel isn't garrulous

236
00:20:49,209 --> 00:20:51,959
She walked through the door at "Colombin,"

237
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:54,667
quietly fingered the white carnation on my collar,

238
00:20:54,751 --> 00:20:57,292
then drank the cold coffee I ordered.

239
00:20:57,376 --> 00:21:01,334
Severing final ties under the stars of Ginza and to Hokkaido

240
00:21:01,417 --> 00:21:04,417
she went into a Trappist Monastery.

241
00:21:14,001 --> 00:21:15,834
Maybe, the woman "Michi,"

242
00:21:15,917 --> 00:21:17,376
judging from my name,

243
00:21:17,459 --> 00:21:20,209
has an interest in me,

244
00:21:20,292 --> 00:21:23,584
a stranger from the "South" of Taiwan.

245
00:21:24,126 --> 00:21:27,792
Unlike those women of olden times

246
00:21:27,876 --> 00:21:31,334
who held their balance in their knees

247
00:21:31,417 --> 00:21:34,834
when they walked,

248
00:21:34,917 --> 00:21:37,959
"Michi" held her weight in her waist

249
00:21:38,042 --> 00:21:41,042
like European women when she walked.

250
00:21:41,126 --> 00:21:43,792
This made her poise chic and dynamic.

251
00:21:43,876 --> 00:21:49,292
Her high heels made her body something attractive,

252
00:21:49,376 --> 00:21:52,584
and it proved the value of

253
00:21:52,667 --> 00:21:55,209
modern society's intellectualism.

254
00:21:55,792 --> 00:21:58,959
Of all things adorning her body,

255
00:21:59,042 --> 00:22:01,959
what is the most radical

256
00:22:02,042 --> 00:22:05,084
pleasure and beauty among modernity?

257
00:22:17,876 --> 00:22:20,459
Paving stones of a sleeping city

258
00:22:20,542 --> 00:22:24,209
echoed the ocean in the heart of shells

259
00:22:24,292 --> 00:22:27,084
In the shadow of a bare sycamore,

260
00:22:27,167 --> 00:22:30,917
your white beret composed several lines of verse.

261
00:23:03,459 --> 00:23:06,584
In front of a grim white wall

262
00:23:06,667 --> 00:23:10,126
the women strike at typewriters

263
00:23:10,209 --> 00:23:13,209
sending letters to all the offices of the world

264
00:23:13,292 --> 00:23:17,667
concerning a meaningless,

265
00:23:17,751 --> 00:23:20,667
dried out hat, a cocoon, tea, or a bag.

266
00:23:20,751 --> 00:23:24,334
For these the girls hurt their beautiful fingertips.

267
00:23:25,417 --> 00:23:28,542
Therefore, these young women

268
00:23:28,626 --> 00:23:32,876
shut their love away completely

269
00:23:33,417 --> 00:23:35,251
into the wall,

270
00:23:36,626 --> 00:23:39,834
and they are eroded away by millions of

271
00:23:39,917 --> 00:23:42,334
insect-like words...

272
00:23:52,376 --> 00:23:53,626
Fragrance of magnolia,

273
00:23:53,709 --> 00:23:56,251
Sun's fierce shining,

274
00:23:56,334 --> 00:23:59,959
ancient city in the South, Tainan's early spring.

275
00:24:00,042 --> 00:24:02,709
Though our <i>Moulin</i> is young,

276
00:24:02,792 --> 00:24:06,459
it has its volume "3."

277
00:24:07,084 --> 00:24:10,459
"Tainan, the town of forgetting art"

278
00:24:10,542 --> 00:24:14,876
This is how we call it.

279
00:24:14,959 --> 00:24:18,334
It is our greatest shame.

280
00:24:18,417 --> 00:24:21,209
We surely know this.

281
00:24:21,459 --> 00:24:25,417
Our <i>Moulin</i> spins across the city.

282
00:24:25,501 --> 00:24:31,167
We show the tiny traces left of our efforts,

283
00:24:31,251 --> 00:24:33,334
and rip our hearts open,

284
00:24:33,417 --> 00:24:36,334
we find a way to speak to each other.

285
00:24:37,751 --> 00:24:39,792
I saw these two films,

286
00:24:39,876 --> 00:24:42,834
Dietrich's <i>Song of Songs</i> and

287
00:24:42,917 --> 00:24:45,417
Garbo's <i>Grand Hotel,</i>

288
00:24:45,501 --> 00:24:48,542
at Sekaikan in Taiwan for the first time

289
00:24:48,626 --> 00:24:53,042
after returning from Tokyo.

290
00:24:53,584 --> 00:24:56,792
But I plainly gave up

291
00:24:56,876 --> 00:25:01,084
watching Western films in Taiwan.

292
00:25:01,167 --> 00:25:03,876
Hasty though it was I wonder

293
00:25:03,959 --> 00:25:07,709
how much I wanted it that way.

294
00:25:08,126 --> 00:25:10,459
Still, this fact -

295
00:25:10,542 --> 00:25:15,917
it is still something beyond our ability...

296
00:25:16,876 --> 00:25:21,834
Oh, what a truly sad thing that would be.

297
00:25:44,251 --> 00:25:47,542
These poems of late, delicate as roses,

298
00:25:47,626 --> 00:25:51,792
found here and there from our Taiwan literati,

299
00:25:51,876 --> 00:25:54,584
- though still few in number -

300
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:58,167
appear to flushed imaginations

301
00:25:58,251 --> 00:26:00,751
as women's breasts through thin,

302
00:26:00,834 --> 00:26:03,167
taut silk appear to straining young boys.

303
00:26:03,251 --> 00:26:06,209
These boys pay lip service to the rose poets

304
00:26:06,292 --> 00:26:09,209
while they make passionate statements

305
00:26:09,292 --> 00:26:11,709
about how they yearn for emotional prose.

306
00:26:11,792 --> 00:26:14,626
You, rose poets,

307
00:26:14,709 --> 00:26:16,626
we find neither a pulse nor a heartbeat

308
00:26:16,709 --> 00:26:19,126
in your verses

309
00:26:19,209 --> 00:26:21,251
and in those poems you admire.

310
00:26:21,334 --> 00:26:25,459
We sense only the ornamental,

311
00:26:25,542 --> 00:26:28,667
insubstantial tools of beauty

312
00:26:28,751 --> 00:26:31,126
in these compositions of words.

313
00:26:31,209 --> 00:26:37,292
The thriving and animate world,

314
00:26:37,376 --> 00:26:41,376
in your poems,

315
00:26:41,459 --> 00:26:45,001
is increasingly distant.

316
00:26:45,084 --> 00:26:46,251
Is this, ultimately,

317
00:26:46,334 --> 00:26:50,042
what's meant for poetry?

318
00:26:55,251 --> 00:26:56,709
On the desk

319
00:26:56,792 --> 00:26:58,584
a pen and cheap cigarettes

320
00:26:58,667 --> 00:27:00,876
framed picture of a young woman

321
00:27:00,959 --> 00:27:02,876
face down, in deep thought

322
00:27:02,959 --> 00:27:04,917
a Victrola plays for a while

323
00:27:05,001 --> 00:27:06,626
a tune of Bolero?

324
00:27:06,709 --> 00:27:08,042
I pull the blanket

325
00:27:08,126 --> 00:27:09,792
and fall asleep deeply

326
00:27:24,751 --> 00:27:27,167
Artistic expression in Japanese!

327
00:27:27,251 --> 00:27:30,917
In our future this is the most effective

328
00:27:31,001 --> 00:27:32,917
and our only weapon to exercise.

329
00:27:33,001 --> 00:27:35,917
Although what we have made is only imitation

330
00:27:36,001 --> 00:27:37,751
in form and pattern,

331
00:27:37,834 --> 00:27:42,542
Already we have made progress.

332
00:27:42,626 --> 00:27:44,042
And so we shall carry on,

333
00:27:44,126 --> 00:27:46,292
separate the chaff from the wheat.

334
00:27:46,376 --> 00:27:47,709
Until our works earn their place

335
00:27:47,792 --> 00:27:49,501
in the Japanese literary canon,

336
00:27:49,584 --> 00:27:52,334
However, we will neither discard our Taiwanese grain

337
00:27:52,417 --> 00:27:55,792
nor forsake the climate that nourished it.

338
00:27:57,251 --> 00:27:59,084
A cream-colored room

339
00:27:59,167 --> 00:28:02,334
I quietly hatch a dream's cream-colored egg

340
00:28:02,417 --> 00:28:04,626
there is a zebra in the window.

341
00:28:04,709 --> 00:28:09,001
Silver waves of grass on rolling hills.
Red roof. Crimson persimmon.

342
00:28:09,084 --> 00:28:11,251
Heaven fades far, far away.

343
00:29:45,084 --> 00:29:47,959
The problem of language in Taiwanese literature

344
00:29:48,042 --> 00:29:50,001
is urgent

345
00:29:50,084 --> 00:29:52,626
While Korean journals and

346
00:29:52,709 --> 00:29:54,084
the Korean literary establishment

347
00:29:54,167 --> 00:29:56,251
were founded in the Korean language,

348
00:29:56,334 --> 00:29:58,126
the Japanese language

349
00:29:58,209 --> 00:30:00,959
has dominated Taiwan journals
over our vernacular tradition.

350
00:30:01,042 --> 00:30:03,417
What should be done?

351
00:30:03,501 --> 00:30:07,167
Soon, Taiwanese vernacular writing

352
00:30:07,251 --> 00:30:09,459
will be wiped out,

353
00:30:09,542 --> 00:30:11,667
with only Japanese surviving?

354
00:30:11,751 --> 00:30:14,917
If this truly happens, Japanese localist literature

355
00:30:15,001 --> 00:30:18,542
should become our goal.

356
00:30:25,126 --> 00:30:27,084
Murder of the arts -

357
00:30:27,167 --> 00:30:32,292
first we had to fight against this tragedy.

358
00:30:32,376 --> 00:30:34,917
Once a year, the painting exhibition

359
00:30:35,001 --> 00:30:37,084
that may or may not be held...

360
00:30:37,167 --> 00:30:39,167
Even our so-called "newspaper,"

361
00:30:39,251 --> 00:30:42,501
our supposed field
has discriminated against it,

362
00:30:42,584 --> 00:30:44,292
and claimed it is "journalism."

363
00:30:44,376 --> 00:30:46,792
But we should not label "newspapers" as sin.

364
00:30:46,876 --> 00:30:52,251
What we hope is that
people could cast their eyes

365
00:30:52,334 --> 00:30:54,876
on the artists

366
00:30:54,959 --> 00:30:56,542
as they strive to attain

367
00:30:56,626 --> 00:30:59,292
the distinction of art.

368
00:31:01,334 --> 00:31:06,834
I believe it would be of great benefit

369
00:31:06,917 --> 00:31:10,792
for such men to gather into a club

370
00:31:10,876 --> 00:31:15,626
to continue with these endeavors.

371
00:31:16,292 --> 00:31:19,167
After all, aren't fine results attained

372
00:31:19,251 --> 00:31:25,126
only after serious criticism?

373
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:30,709
Shuiyin Ping and I seek new romance on one night

374
00:31:30,792 --> 00:31:37,001
along Ginza's canal district promenade.

375
00:31:38,042 --> 00:31:41,751
Our books are our canes.

376
00:31:42,501 --> 00:31:44,292
When we tired,

377
00:31:44,376 --> 00:31:47,042
we walked into the "Morinaga" box

378
00:31:47,126 --> 00:31:50,084
or sometimes "TOYODA" corner

379
00:31:50,167 --> 00:31:52,501
to rest our legs.

380
00:31:52,584 --> 00:31:56,792
We sip from a cup of black tea.

381
00:31:56,876 --> 00:31:59,667
Smoke of jasmine

382
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:03,001
erases agony from our faces.

383
00:32:03,792 --> 00:32:08,042
We have neither tears nor laughter.

384
00:32:08,126 --> 00:32:13,251
We wander on streets day after day.

385
00:32:13,334 --> 00:32:19,917
This could be on narrow country roads as well.

386
00:32:20,792 --> 00:32:25,584
Then with alcohol and nicotine

387
00:32:25,667 --> 00:32:28,251
and Barbital and romance

388
00:32:28,334 --> 00:32:31,501
and adventure and misfortune

389
00:32:32,251 --> 00:32:35,667
and Yes! With only these, surely,

390
00:32:35,751 --> 00:32:39,792
there is no shortage in youth.

391
00:32:42,376 --> 00:32:45,292
Romance won't come from

392
00:32:45,376 --> 00:32:46,792
Hamlet's idleness

393
00:32:46,876 --> 00:32:50,334
When tobacco becomes aspirin for my emotions,

394
00:32:50,417 --> 00:32:54,584
beautiful smile from palm leaves disappears.

395
00:32:54,667 --> 00:32:57,792
Smothered cigarette butts and matches.

396
00:33:16,084 --> 00:33:17,792
Meal is ready.

397
00:33:25,542 --> 00:33:30,084
The sun fills the island.

398
00:33:30,667 --> 00:33:33,501
Sounds of bananas and songs of buffalo

399
00:33:33,584 --> 00:33:38,292
and the ocean breeze
and the sound of the surf

400
00:33:38,376 --> 00:33:40,501
pour through my window bringing dreams
of a cactus;

401
00:33:40,584 --> 00:33:43,626
the stars reflecting on silver sand

402
00:33:43,709 --> 00:33:47,334
whisper a halo on a watermelon's back;

403
00:33:47,417 --> 00:33:49,376
the island's beggars,

404
00:33:49,459 --> 00:33:53,167
singing secular songs at dusk with a yueqin,

405
00:33:53,251 --> 00:33:56,626
searching for silver and copper coins.

406
00:33:56,709 --> 00:34:00,167
When all the transparent smiles come,

407
00:34:00,251 --> 00:34:03,251
I throw a book to the ceiling.

408
00:34:03,751 --> 00:34:06,542
I suppose these beautiful angels

409
00:34:06,626 --> 00:34:10,126
are messengers of poesy.

410
00:34:10,917 --> 00:34:13,834
Crystal poet is on the crystal balcony

411
00:34:13,917 --> 00:34:17,042
He wears the crystal glasses and sees the tower's solemn

412
00:34:17,126 --> 00:34:20,084
woman manipulated by a wise magician

413
00:34:20,167 --> 00:34:22,459
with moonlight and salt water

414
00:34:22,542 --> 00:34:26,251
The pure and wise magician is the pure and calm poet

415
00:34:26,334 --> 00:34:29,334
Did you see the crystal poet?

416
00:34:39,001 --> 00:34:41,251
The day of drying loofa

417
00:34:41,334 --> 00:34:43,792
turns purple through eyeballs

418
00:34:43,876 --> 00:34:47,376
while sounds come from gloves and coffee.

419
00:34:47,876 --> 00:34:51,251
Songs from seashells and music of peas

420
00:34:51,334 --> 00:34:53,084
echo into the sky -

421
00:34:53,167 --> 00:34:56,084
the poet rises, whistling.

422
00:34:56,876 --> 00:34:59,001
He thinks the catapult posture

423
00:34:59,084 --> 00:35:01,542
could call up a storm.

424
00:35:02,042 --> 00:35:04,292
In this dream of warmth

425
00:35:04,376 --> 00:35:07,834
a calmed storm draws out a sigh.

426
00:35:36,667 --> 00:35:39,542
Someone is atop the mist-covered bell tower...

427
00:35:39,626 --> 00:35:43,917
A prostitute dead from exposure to cold...
A clear sound wave obstructed by a violet...

428
00:35:44,001 --> 00:35:47,709
Light playing off steel rods and murmurs of exhaustion

429
00:35:47,792 --> 00:35:51,292
The echoes of a settled morning
The beats of a heart...

430
00:36:27,376 --> 00:36:33,084
致水蔭萍同仁 ，北園克衛贈 ， 昭和9年3月
To Shuiyin Ping, from Kitasono Katsue, March, Showa 9 (1934)

431
00:36:41,584 --> 00:36:44,417
You're interested in this, right?

432
00:36:44,876 --> 00:36:47,334
You can read colloquial Taiwanese, right?

433
00:36:48,709 --> 00:36:51,584
A few days ago, local Taiwanese founded an organization

434
00:36:51,667 --> 00:36:55,542
called the Taiwanese Literature Federation;

435
00:36:55,626 --> 00:36:58,292
but I didn't see you there.

436
00:36:59,167 --> 00:37:01,001
I was at work,

437
00:37:01,501 --> 00:37:04,167
and in any case I wasn't invited.

438
00:37:05,251 --> 00:37:07,584
What have you written recently?

439
00:37:08,167 --> 00:37:11,167
Have you started a novel yet?

440
00:37:13,334 --> 00:37:17,001
Yes, I have. But there's nothing worth showing to anyone.

441
00:37:17,459 --> 00:37:22,417
Shouldn't writing, at its heart,
be for other people to read?

442
00:37:23,584 --> 00:37:28,917
Fighting for Japanese Literature with people of this island!

443
00:37:49,417 --> 00:37:51,167
By turns fiery and frigid

444
00:37:51,251 --> 00:37:53,167
Our will is of pearl

445
00:37:53,251 --> 00:37:56,334
It changes buds and blossoms not with hours

446
00:37:56,417 --> 00:37:57,417
but with

447
00:37:57,501 --> 00:38:00,209
the hands and the eyes that we know not ours.

448
00:38:05,167 --> 00:38:07,959
The dawn from the fierce blizzard

449
00:38:08,042 --> 00:38:10,751
absorbed the moonlight of seven nights.

450
00:38:12,042 --> 00:38:15,292
Music and paintings and poetry's tides

451
00:38:15,376 --> 00:38:17,959
are the sound of angel footsteps

452
00:38:19,251 --> 00:38:21,917
My ideal composition is

453
00:38:22,001 --> 00:38:25,501
the sounds of Picasso's guitar

454
00:38:25,584 --> 00:38:29,917
The ennui of twilight and of seashells

455
00:38:30,001 --> 00:38:33,251
The music of Picasso's cross

456
00:38:33,334 --> 00:38:36,251
thoughts of flesh, dreams of white,

457
00:38:36,959 --> 00:38:38,917
the ballet of flesh...

458
00:38:40,417 --> 00:38:43,417
The depravity of the liquid white.

459
00:38:44,792 --> 00:38:50,001
The thought that arises after my third tobacco pipe

460
00:38:50,084 --> 00:38:53,834
slips into a single black glove —

461
00:39:22,501 --> 00:39:25,251
The farther poetry moves away from reality,

462
00:39:25,334 --> 00:39:28,667
the further it settles into a pure, unadulterated form...

463
00:39:28,751 --> 00:39:32,917
Only those who expand poems are poets,
not those who love poems...

464
00:39:37,501 --> 00:39:40,876
Greedily I'm reading several issues

465
00:39:40,959 --> 00:39:43,626
of <i>Literary Art</i> and <i>Literature of Mita</i>

466
00:39:43,709 --> 00:39:46,417
that I took home from your place.

467
00:39:46,792 --> 00:39:50,376
Half a year has gone since I've arrived at Xinhua

468
00:39:50,459 --> 00:39:54,417
but I have not read anything new.

469
00:39:54,501 --> 00:39:59,084
To be honest, I haven't been studying at all.

470
00:39:59,667 --> 00:40:02,584
When I see all those new issues

471
00:40:02,667 --> 00:40:04,917
stacked on your shelves

472
00:40:05,001 --> 00:40:08,251
I shudder!

473
00:40:08,709 --> 00:40:10,376
I'm re-reading

474
00:40:10,459 --> 00:40:12,709
Bergson's <i>Mind-Energy.</i>

475
00:40:12,792 --> 00:40:16,042
I recommended this book to you before;

476
00:40:16,959 --> 00:40:19,376
It is French philosophy

477
00:40:19,459 --> 00:40:22,292
which shows ideals through senses.

478
00:40:22,751 --> 00:40:26,167
I don't understand it all that well

479
00:40:26,251 --> 00:40:29,792
but I'm doing my best.

480
00:40:38,751 --> 00:40:40,459
Niigaki Koichi claims,

481
00:40:40,542 --> 00:40:44,459
"Literature is the exclusive possession of a few,"

482
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:46,709
we protested against this fact,

483
00:40:46,792 --> 00:40:50,834
demanding that literature be returned to the masses.

484
00:40:50,917 --> 00:40:53,584
If Niigaki emphasizes "Art for art's sake,"

485
00:40:53,667 --> 00:40:57,292
as does Akutagawa Ryunosuke,

486
00:40:57,542 --> 00:41:01,167
I would advise that

487
00:41:01,251 --> 00:41:06,209
we heed these words with caution.

488
00:41:06,292 --> 00:41:10,042
He who believes literature to be a demon

489
00:41:10,126 --> 00:41:14,292
will become a demon himself.

490
00:41:14,376 --> 00:41:16,626
And so we have to

491
00:41:16,709 --> 00:41:19,667
pull this demon

492
00:41:19,751 --> 00:41:23,917
from the ivory tower, and shock him

493
00:41:24,001 --> 00:41:26,959
with the realization that

494
00:41:27,251 --> 00:41:31,334
he is not demonic but human.

495
00:41:31,417 --> 00:41:34,501
If we make him stand on street,

496
00:41:34,584 --> 00:41:36,376
he will understand what life is,

497
00:41:36,459 --> 00:41:38,209
what art is,

498
00:41:38,292 --> 00:41:41,667
and what the masses are.

499
00:41:56,792 --> 00:41:59,751
I haven't given much thought to the practical side of

500
00:41:59,834 --> 00:42:03,584
the modern Taiwanese literary movement,

501
00:42:03,876 --> 00:42:09,001
and so I don't have a sense of whether

502
00:42:09,584 --> 00:42:13,251
the movement has international recognition.

503
00:42:13,334 --> 00:42:15,417
But I think it's a tragedy that

504
00:42:15,501 --> 00:42:20,126
we lack a native script of our own.

505
00:42:20,709 --> 00:42:23,417
What exactly is this Taiwanese literature

506
00:42:23,501 --> 00:42:25,626
which everyone is buzzing about?

507
00:42:25,709 --> 00:42:30,084
Writers on this island

508
00:42:30,167 --> 00:42:33,709
are ensnared by the empty term "Taiwanese Literature,"

509
00:42:33,792 --> 00:42:39,167
and are apt to forget that they are writing in Japanese.

510
00:42:39,251 --> 00:42:43,751
Is there only "Japanese Literature with Taiwanese flavor"?

511
00:42:43,834 --> 00:42:47,209
Or does a "Taiwanese Literature" exist

512
00:42:47,292 --> 00:42:51,084
apart from Japanese literature?

513
00:42:51,917 --> 00:42:53,459
Farther, farther...

514
00:42:53,542 --> 00:42:55,709
Into the vacuum-reality...

515
00:42:55,792 --> 00:42:57,751
It's really a fresh esprit!

516
00:42:57,834 --> 00:43:00,876
In this cool sense of beautiful world

517
00:43:00,959 --> 00:43:02,959
a new myth is born

518
00:43:56,834 --> 00:44:00,834
《神戶詩人》
<i>The Poets of Kobe</i>

519
00:44:11,584 --> 00:44:13,292
Stark, blue shock causes

520
00:44:13,376 --> 00:44:16,292
A curdling scream to erupt from deep red lips

521
00:44:16,376 --> 00:44:19,542
The wind pretends to be apparent death in the next morning

522
00:44:19,626 --> 00:44:22,626
My bloody wounds rack my body with fever.

523
00:45:51,209 --> 00:45:52,751
Hi, Shuiyin Ping.

524
00:45:53,584 --> 00:45:56,917
Hey, Li Zhang-rui, here are the last manuscripts;

525
00:45:57,167 --> 00:45:59,751
I need you to finish <i>Le Moulin</i> volume 4.

526
00:45:59,834 --> 00:46:04,126
I can't work on it and at the same time take care of

527
00:46:04,209 --> 00:46:07,292
the literary supplement
of the <i>Tainan Daily News.</i>

528
00:46:07,376 --> 00:46:09,084
I see. Leave it to me.

529
00:46:09,167 --> 00:46:11,334
I'll get it out.

530
00:46:12,001 --> 00:46:14,751
Right, I heard from Lin Xiu-er that

531
00:46:14,834 --> 00:46:19,126
Akutagawa Ryunosuke's oeuvre has been published.

532
00:46:19,626 --> 00:46:21,626
Really? It finally came out!

533
00:46:36,751 --> 00:46:37,917
Hachigatake

534
00:46:38,001 --> 00:46:39,709
October 16, 1938 Departed from Tokyo

535
00:46:39,792 --> 00:46:42,042
The following morning went climbing in Kiyosato,

536
00:46:42,126 --> 00:46:43,959
camped in cave at summit

537
00:46:44,042 --> 00:46:45,501
October 18 Descended from Lake Matsubara;

538
00:46:45,584 --> 00:46:48,167
Evening, arrived at Tokyo

539
00:46:48,251 --> 00:46:49,251
4 people in the car:

540
00:46:49,334 --> 00:46:51,667
Hayashi Haruki, Samae Koji, Lin Xiu-er, Tsuji Masako

541
00:46:57,501 --> 00:46:59,209
Through the dense forest

542
00:46:59,292 --> 00:47:02,167
we reach a ridge

543
00:47:03,126 --> 00:47:05,209
splendidly dropping

544
00:47:05,292 --> 00:47:08,001
the rain in the sun pleased us

545
00:47:08,501 --> 00:47:10,042
and below us

546
00:47:10,126 --> 00:47:13,126
the white clouds hanging

547
00:47:13,959 --> 00:47:18,042
Time flows leisurely here

548
00:47:19,001 --> 00:47:23,251
Villages scattered afar the foothills

549
00:47:23,792 --> 00:47:26,459
A wonderful miniature garden

550
00:47:26,542 --> 00:47:30,459
A toy train belched out white smoke

551
00:47:30,542 --> 00:47:34,709
as it passed from village to village

552
00:47:34,792 --> 00:47:38,459
It was a land of fairy tale

553
00:47:47,709 --> 00:47:50,667
《蛇》
<i>Serpent</i>

554
00:47:54,376 --> 00:47:57,501
"Art Is of The Masses," wrote

555
00:47:57,584 --> 00:48:01,334
Yang Kui, as the title of an art review.

556
00:48:02,417 --> 00:48:06,667
"Actually art is appreciated by the masses."

557
00:48:06,751 --> 00:48:11,959
"Things understood by only a few people are not art..."

558
00:48:12,626 --> 00:48:15,542
This is a brave view based on

559
00:48:15,626 --> 00:48:17,626
Proletarian Ideology.

560
00:48:18,167 --> 00:48:21,626
No one would deny that Proletarian literature has drawn

561
00:48:21,709 --> 00:48:23,584
from the conditions on our island

562
00:48:23,667 --> 00:48:26,209
and from its natural environment.

563
00:48:26,292 --> 00:48:29,209
Above that, in the Japanese literary elite

564
00:48:29,292 --> 00:48:32,626
the past prosperity of Proletarian literature

565
00:48:32,709 --> 00:48:37,626
and its influence go without mention.

566
00:48:38,084 --> 00:48:42,084
However, if out of heroism

567
00:48:42,167 --> 00:48:44,501
one chooses Proletarian literature

568
00:48:44,584 --> 00:48:46,584
and its attitudes

569
00:48:46,667 --> 00:48:49,167
then one should be blamed.

570
00:48:51,126 --> 00:48:56,751
I didn't read Yang Kui's <i>The Paperboy,</i>

571
00:48:56,834 --> 00:48:59,917
and I don't understand how strong

572
00:49:00,001 --> 00:49:05,251
Proletarian literature was in Taiwan.

573
00:49:05,334 --> 00:49:08,667
But I was excited to see many of

574
00:49:08,751 --> 00:49:12,042
my childhood friends work hard to establish

575
00:49:12,126 --> 00:49:14,084
a modern literary form.

576
00:49:16,584 --> 00:49:20,417
I can't write in Chinese so I write in Japanese.

577
00:49:20,501 --> 00:49:22,792
And I have no desire at all

578
00:49:22,876 --> 00:49:25,542
to be a spokesperson for the people.

579
00:49:25,626 --> 00:49:27,584
I only wish to rush headlong

580
00:49:27,667 --> 00:49:30,584
into the field of liturgical poetry.

581
00:49:30,667 --> 00:49:33,834
Like Shuiyin Ping's poems, my poems

582
00:49:33,917 --> 00:49:38,459
are regarded as foreign by local people.

583
00:49:39,042 --> 00:49:41,334
Our writings do not lack

584
00:49:41,417 --> 00:49:47,209
a discontented and rebellious spirit.

585
00:49:47,292 --> 00:49:51,126
We just have not written it down.

586
00:49:51,209 --> 00:49:54,792
But even now I couldn't say

587
00:49:54,876 --> 00:49:58,667
if it would have been better or worse.

588
00:49:58,751 --> 00:50:02,834
I think our stance can still fit into

589
00:50:02,917 --> 00:50:05,709
the context of those broader literary currents

590
00:50:05,792 --> 00:50:08,459
we were engaged with.

591
00:50:48,126 --> 00:50:50,626
The inauguration of the Jiali branch of

592
00:50:50,709 --> 00:50:54,334
Taiwan Literature Federation was very lively, wasn't it?

593
00:50:55,459 --> 00:50:58,709
With your diversity,

594
00:50:58,792 --> 00:51:01,459
how would your works be discussed?

595
00:51:04,376 --> 00:51:07,751
If discussion doesn't take off, let it go.

596
00:51:08,084 --> 00:51:10,042
Just keep writing!

597
00:51:10,126 --> 00:51:12,917
It's only a matter of time before Taiwanese

598
00:51:13,001 --> 00:51:16,501
earn their place in Japanese literary circles.

599
00:51:35,542 --> 00:51:38,376
〈星期日〉
"Sunday"

600
00:52:23,709 --> 00:52:28,376
《達達主義者新吉的詩》
<i>The Poems of Dadaist Takahashi Shinkichi</i>

601
00:52:43,876 --> 00:52:44,834
Take a newspaper.

602
00:52:44,917 --> 00:52:46,584
Take a pair of scissors.

603
00:52:46,667 --> 00:52:47,917
Choose an article.

604
00:52:48,001 --> 00:52:50,001
When you're planning to make your poem

605
00:52:50,084 --> 00:52:52,209
Cut out the article.

606
00:52:52,292 --> 00:52:53,459
Then cut out each of the words

607
00:52:53,542 --> 00:52:54,584
that make up this article

608
00:52:54,667 --> 00:52:56,709
and place them in a bag.

609
00:52:56,792 --> 00:52:58,459
Shake it gently,

610
00:52:59,126 --> 00:53:01,292
then take out the scraps one after another

611
00:53:01,376 --> 00:53:03,834
in the order in which they left the bag.

612
00:53:03,917 --> 00:53:06,126
Copy them carefully.

613
00:53:06,209 --> 00:53:08,251
Then the poem will be like you.

614
00:53:08,334 --> 00:53:09,626
And here you are

615
00:53:09,709 --> 00:53:11,709
A writer.

616
00:54:40,001 --> 00:54:43,834
Noon. Express Train departed full, at full speed.

617
00:54:43,917 --> 00:54:48,126
The small stations by the tracks, like stones, were ignored.

618

Auto, cafe, parasol

622
00:55:28,792 --> 00:55:33,042
Color, light, rhythm, noise —
these are the splendors found in Egoist.

623
00:55:33,126 --> 00:55:36,376
The flowing, coalescing, and spinning present—noon

00:56:11,501 --> 00:56:13,042
A great din!

625
00:56:13,126 --> 00:56:14,959
The sun symbolizes the streaming rhythm

626
00:56:15,042 --> 00:56:16,917
that overtakes the space

627
00:56:17,001 --> 00:56:18,292
A trembling roar

628
00:56:18,376 --> 00:56:20,751
—writhe as you unwillingly succumb.

629
00:56:32,751 --> 00:56:36,084
Oh, red! Oh, yellow! And then brown!

Oh, angles! Oh, angles! And then, oh, the mid-day—

burning,

puffing,

Millions of things upon things,

Billions of things upon things,

00:57:42,876 --> 00:57:44,251
This for the eye,

673
00:57:44,459 --> 00:57:46,626
the eye of being,

674
00:57:46,876 --> 00:57:49,292
At the edge of the Hudson,

675
00:57:49,501 --> 00:57:51,459
Flowing timeless,

676
00:57:52,292 --> 00:57:53,417
endless,

677
00:57:54,751 --> 00:57:55,834

00:57:58,042 --> 00:57:59,251

00:57:59,751 --> 00:58:01,292
on...

681
01:00:15,709 --> 01:00:20,751
What makes movie theatres boom?

01:00:20,834 --> 01:00:23,417
Cinema League, <i>N'est ce pas</i>

The Pan-Taiwan Cinema Group

684
01:00:25,876 --> 01:00:28,084
Through the Gaoxiong Film Group,

685
01:00:28,167 --> 01:00:30,959
they initiated an era of almighty cinema.

686
01:00:31,042 --> 01:00:35,376
And in the lanes, dazzling with neon,

687
01:00:35,459 --> 01:00:39,084
talk of cinema flows from lips crimson while drinking.

688
01:02:18,626 --> 01:02:21,501
An empty room, a figure of Maria and a mirror.

689
01:02:21,584 --> 01:02:23,667
A sunset with nothing to offer.

690
01:02:23,751 --> 01:02:28,626
Flickering a light onto trivial thoughts,
watching a rainbow in misty night.

"It's Raining"

695
01:04:46,042 --> 01:04:49,001
The tide is at its height, murky and quiet

696
01:04:49,084 --> 01:04:53,209
Pulled to the soundless ocean bottom,
I get blind

697
01:04:53,292 --> 01:04:55,751
Chased into ocean by illusions

698
01:04:55,834 --> 01:04:57,834
I fumbled for pearls,

699
01:04:57,917 --> 01:05:00,834
blue nostalgia smiles at the tide's sheen

700
01:05:03,084 --> 01:05:06,834
Outside the white glass window

701
01:05:07,959 --> 01:05:10,292
something white is falling

702
01:05:11,626 --> 01:05:15,001
On top of the white thing that falls

703
01:05:15,542 --> 01:05:17,876
another white thing falls

704
01:05:18,459 --> 01:05:19,792
white hat

705
01:05:21,042 --> 01:05:22,626
white shoes

706
01:05:23,626 --> 01:05:28,792
a mailbox on the corner is frozen crimson

707
01:05:37,251 --> 01:05:42,209
All night long fireworks in the distant sky
burst into pop eyes,

708
01:05:42,292 --> 01:05:48,042
a music box echoes the wilderness,
the dry grasses chant, the treetops dance.

709
01:05:48,126 --> 01:05:53,167
I call back out from the halo of a lamp,
through a pipe held between my teeth.

710
01:06:38,417 --> 01:06:40,292
With the pale night sway

711
01:06:40,376 --> 01:06:43,292
dreams
Conscious and superconscious spin

712
01:06:43,376 --> 01:06:46,042
weathering memory,
shells of metaphysics...

713
01:06:46,126 --> 01:06:50,501
A fierce ribbon rises,
becomes many songs
and heartlessly changes its face...

714
01:07:16,917 --> 01:07:19,834
The light on the yellow walled building is beautiful.

715
01:07:19,917 --> 01:07:22,334
Beautiful people's healthy skin,

716
01:07:22,417 --> 01:07:27,667
an open curtain soaking up rays
on a second floor window above the vase,

717
01:07:27,751 --> 01:07:31,126
a woman's figure seen, a clock strikes nine.

718
01:08:18,167 --> 01:08:21,667
A poem decrepit as the castle ruins

719
01:08:22,292 --> 01:08:24,834
the poet chewing the wind sand,

720
01:08:24,917 --> 01:08:27,709
pays his respects at the red temple.

721
01:08:28,042 --> 01:08:30,959
The poesy composed there

722
01:08:31,042 --> 01:08:33,459
takes on a decadent espirit,

723
01:08:33,542 --> 01:08:36,876
and breaks out in a sneer at the gods.

724
01:08:37,876 --> 01:08:40,292
Day after day, artists set the canvas

725
01:08:40,376 --> 01:08:42,751
to the vulgarity of South Gate.

726
01:08:43,251 --> 01:08:45,667
They squeezed from a tube

727
01:08:45,751 --> 01:08:49,376
then buried it in color without concern for symmetry.

728
01:08:50,376 --> 01:08:54,084
Southern air truly bring comfort,

729
01:08:54,167 --> 01:08:57,251
giving birth to a consoling and flowing poem,

730
01:08:57,334 --> 01:09:01,417
art, romance, music.

731
01:09:02,209 --> 01:09:04,751
It's a sad thing...

732
01:09:05,917 --> 01:09:10,917
a man who tried his hand at something new was laughed at.

733
01:09:27,542 --> 01:09:32,459
From the south room an old newness is searched for.

734
01:09:32,542 --> 01:09:35,167
Wandering in a sleepless town,

735
01:09:35,251 --> 01:09:38,459
a vivid sexual lust, like a prostitute,

736
01:09:38,542 --> 01:09:41,417
is also necessary for poesy.

737
01:09:42,292 --> 01:09:45,167
Behold the north sky from a south window,

738
01:09:45,251 --> 01:09:47,792
the iris cloud is already overflown

739
01:09:47,876 --> 01:09:51,084
into esprit...

740
01:10:02,209 --> 01:10:04,959
Hi, Shuiyin Ping, you seem busy recently.

741
01:10:05,626 --> 01:10:08,834
I got a job at <i>Taiwan Daily News.</i>

742
01:10:08,917 --> 01:10:10,167
What about you?

743
01:10:10,251 --> 01:10:13,126
I'm still at the Xinhua Irrigation Association.

744
01:10:13,417 --> 01:10:15,834
I'm getting married soon.

745
01:10:15,917 --> 01:10:17,626
Congratulations!

746
01:10:18,251 --> 01:10:21,001
Would you mind being my younger brother's

747
01:10:21,084 --> 01:10:23,001
guarantor to enter school?

748
01:10:23,084 --> 01:10:24,792
Of course!

749
01:10:24,876 --> 01:10:26,667
Thank you.

750
01:10:27,417 --> 01:10:28,251
By the way,

751
01:10:28,334 --> 01:10:30,834
did you go to see the Taiwan Exposition?

752
01:10:30,917 --> 01:10:31,917
I did.

753
01:10:32,001 --> 01:10:34,709
There were so many new things.

754
01:10:34,792 --> 01:10:37,209
Yang Kui's <i>Taiwan New Literature</i>

755
01:10:37,292 --> 01:10:39,709
will be published at year's end.

756
01:10:39,792 --> 01:10:41,876
See, that's the consequence of bickering in

757
01:10:41,959 --> 01:10:44,292
Taiwan literary circles.

758
01:10:44,376 --> 01:10:47,834
Anyway, I still submitted my manuscript.

759
01:10:47,917 --> 01:10:51,792
Why not come with me to Jiali to visit Wu Xin-rong?

760
01:10:51,876 --> 01:10:52,876
Sure.

761
01:10:53,959 --> 01:10:57,709
Oh, right - here. The next issue of <i>The Pasania.</i>

762
01:10:57,792 --> 01:11:00,792
<i>The Pasania</i>

763
01:11:09,084 --> 01:11:11,334
"... All literature begins with customs.

764
01:11:11,417 --> 01:11:14,667
Literary inspiration trickles from this hat
that looks like a black lotus..."

765
01:11:14,751 --> 01:11:18,001
Will the poesy in betel nut music eventually
ascend to heaven?

766
01:11:32,042 --> 01:11:36,126
Nishikawa Mitsuru's superb <i>Masou Festival</i>

767
01:11:36,209 --> 01:11:40,459
was recently published by Taipei Masou Shobo.

768
01:11:40,876 --> 01:11:44,334
It lays a new path through the classic rifts and

769
01:11:44,417 --> 01:11:47,626
forces the <i>esprit nouveau</i> of Orientalism to its knees

770
01:11:47,709 --> 01:11:51,001
with the unique features of Taiwan.

771
01:11:51,084 --> 01:11:54,667
A steady and sturdy force runs

772
01:11:54,751 --> 01:11:57,542
through the work.

773
01:11:57,626 --> 01:12:01,292
It followed the Oriental magic of a Dalian master-poet,

774
01:12:01,376 --> 01:12:10,834
Anzai Fuyue, author of an awesome work <i>Eager God.</i>

775
01:12:10,917 --> 01:12:17,417
Now, <i>Masou Festival</i> also makes readers drunk and shudder.

776
01:12:26,917 --> 01:12:29,251
Thank you, spring.

777
01:12:29,334 --> 01:12:31,042
Our Mother,

778
01:12:31,126 --> 01:12:33,001
Blessed Mother -

779
01:12:33,667 --> 01:12:35,584
Festival of Masou,

780
01:12:35,917 --> 01:12:38,167
fortune of gods -

781
01:12:38,834 --> 01:12:42,334
Bring forth the spirits of this land. At dusk,

782
01:12:42,709 --> 01:12:47,042
aspiring scholars toss wishes into kilns of gold.

783
01:12:47,834 --> 01:12:51,042
In the sky, a dove flies,

784
01:12:51,126 --> 01:12:53,084
or my heart.

785
01:13:05,376 --> 01:13:07,751
《台灣新文學》
<i>Taiwan New Literature</i>

786
01:13:11,501 --> 01:13:15,417
Literary circles in Taiwan are long in chaos and disorder,

787
01:13:15,501 --> 01:13:18,709
full of meaningless noise.

788
01:13:18,792 --> 01:13:21,084
According to the latest issue of

789
01:13:21,167 --> 01:13:23,584
<i>Literary Art of Taiwan</i>, it is the result of

790
01:13:23,667 --> 01:13:27,709
a vicious feud at <i>Taiwan New Literature,</i>

791
01:13:28,251 --> 01:13:31,084
which ended with split alliances.

792
01:13:31,626 --> 01:13:35,959
The label "New Literature" is extremely important.

793
01:13:36,042 --> 01:13:37,042
Strictly speaking,

794
01:13:37,126 --> 01:13:40,501
we have now reached the point where we cannot even adopt

795
01:13:40,584 --> 01:13:44,292
the term "New Literature" in today's Taiwan.

796
01:13:44,376 --> 01:13:46,459
What's more, it remains doubtful

797
01:13:46,542 --> 01:13:48,792
whether the works in <i>Taiwan New Literature</i> give us

798
01:13:48,876 --> 01:13:53,084
something new - has such a thing appeared yet in its pages?

799
01:13:53,959 --> 01:13:56,376
Truly new literature ruptures past prejudices,

800
01:13:56,459 --> 01:14:00,209
and brings into being thoughts

801
01:14:00,292 --> 01:14:03,292
reassembled and revised.

802
01:14:03,834 --> 01:14:08,042
However, those works labeled as "new literature"

803
01:14:08,126 --> 01:14:10,376
appeared in the magazines,

804
01:14:10,459 --> 01:14:15,417
are stale, boring, catering to the masses,

805
01:14:15,501 --> 01:14:19,584
and this is mainly what is in them.

806
01:14:19,667 --> 01:14:25,584
So what is the value of this wordy literature movement?

807
01:14:25,667 --> 01:14:27,626
It goes without saying.

808
01:14:29,417 --> 01:14:31,876
Perfection of modern poetry,

809
01:14:31,959 --> 01:14:36,917
composing poems through Poetics,

810
01:14:37,417 --> 01:14:39,334
needs to become a smooth relief sculpture.

811
01:14:39,417 --> 01:14:41,334
In contrast, imperfect poets are

812
01:14:41,417 --> 01:14:44,751
always trying to imitate Nature.

813
01:14:44,834 --> 01:14:48,292
Before his death,

814
01:14:48,751 --> 01:14:55,584
a poet has to keep on learning...

815
01:14:59,292 --> 01:15:02,209
Poet's misfortune. Never become a poet...?

816
01:15:02,292 --> 01:15:05,209
He walks a path of doubt and discontent.

817
01:15:05,292 --> 01:15:07,167
That's all.

818
01:15:13,834 --> 01:15:16,167
One day, class was dismissed early,

819
01:15:16,251 --> 01:15:17,917
so I left school early.

820
01:15:18,001 --> 01:15:20,751
I stopped at Meiji Jingu;

821
01:15:20,834 --> 01:15:23,417
in the back where nobody goes

822
01:15:23,501 --> 01:15:25,917
I leant on a tree and read a book.

823
01:15:26,501 --> 01:15:28,417
I finished reading Ema Shoko's

824
01:15:28,501 --> 01:15:30,959
collection of poems <i>Invitation to Spring,</i>

825
01:15:31,042 --> 01:15:33,876
and started reading Hori Tatsuo's

826
01:15:33,959 --> 01:15:37,042
essay collection <i>Fox Glove.</i>

827
01:15:37,126 --> 01:15:39,876
Just then, while a calm atmosphere

828
01:15:39,959 --> 01:15:43,334
created by reading

829
01:15:43,417 --> 01:15:45,584
overflowed,

830
01:15:45,667 --> 01:15:47,917
there came a chapter titled "Picture Postcard"—

831
01:15:48,167 --> 01:15:50,876
Nothing to worry about - look, there's a sign up ahead.

832
01:15:50,959 --> 01:15:53,209
Way to town... Way to station...

833
01:15:53,292 --> 01:15:55,251
Anyway, I'm going to the town...

834
01:15:55,792 --> 01:15:58,042
When reading this passage,

835
01:15:58,501 --> 01:16:01,542
I felt someone was behind me

836
01:16:01,751 --> 01:16:05,167
and the mood dissipated.

837
01:16:05,251 --> 01:16:06,292
I looked back to see

838
01:16:06,376 --> 01:16:09,167
a patrolman standing over me.

839
01:16:10,959 --> 01:16:13,334
"Excuse me, it is not allowed."

840
01:16:13,417 --> 01:16:15,751
"Studying here is not allowed."

841
01:16:15,834 --> 01:16:19,917
"This area is for worship and strolling, and the like..."

842
01:16:20,334 --> 01:16:22,626
"so would you please..."

843
01:16:23,376 --> 01:16:26,959
I arose and, stifling a smile,

844
01:16:27,042 --> 01:16:29,126
"I'm sorry,"

845
01:16:29,209 --> 01:16:31,751
then lowered my head.

846
01:16:31,834 --> 01:16:34,417
With the remnants of the

847
01:16:34,501 --> 01:16:36,792
contemplative air still humming,

848
01:16:36,876 --> 01:16:39,084
I walked away.

849
01:16:39,167 --> 01:16:42,001
The patrolman's politeness was somehow touching,

850
01:16:42,084 --> 01:16:45,042
and his words carried

851
01:16:45,126 --> 01:16:46,959
a particular rhythm

852
01:16:47,042 --> 01:16:49,417
which I could not quite put my finger on.

853
01:16:49,501 --> 01:16:52,376
I kept reciting to myself

854
01:16:52,459 --> 01:16:54,834
what he said in my heart.

855
01:16:55,126 --> 01:16:57,667
"Excuse me, but it is not allowed."

856
01:16:58,042 --> 01:17:00,792
"Studying here is not allowed."

857
01:17:00,959 --> 01:17:06,001
"This area is for worship and strolling, and the like..."

858
01:17:06,084 --> 01:17:08,792
"so would you please..."

859
01:17:09,292 --> 01:17:12,084
Anyhow, sometime thereafter

860
01:17:12,167 --> 01:17:14,876
I decided instead to head downtown.

861
01:18:58,459 --> 01:19:00,084
Towards the end of May,

862
01:19:00,167 --> 01:19:01,334
Jean Cocteau came to Japan

863
01:19:01,417 --> 01:19:05,334
on Peakridge liner,

864
01:19:05,417 --> 01:19:07,292
accompanied by the famous

865
01:19:07,376 --> 01:19:09,417
comedian Charlie Chaplin.

866
01:19:09,501 --> 01:19:13,417
This news made me excited.

867
01:19:13,917 --> 01:19:16,709
Cocteau was far more renowned a poet

868
01:19:16,792 --> 01:19:20,417
in Japan than he was in France.

869
01:19:20,501 --> 01:19:23,667
His <i>Opium</i> is difficult,

870
01:19:23,751 --> 01:19:28,209
but his sketches included

871
01:19:28,292 --> 01:19:30,167
among his writings are fascinating.

872
01:19:30,251 --> 01:19:32,376
Difficult but amusing.

873
01:19:32,459 --> 01:19:36,084
His poems were translated by Horiguchi Daigaku

874
01:19:36,167 --> 01:19:39,292
and then published by Daiichi Shobo.

875
01:19:39,792 --> 01:19:43,417
The leaps of ideas
in his poems are amazing.

876
01:19:43,501 --> 01:19:46,584
I yearned to meet him

877
01:19:46,667 --> 01:19:49,876
but I was nobody, a poor student.

878
01:19:49,959 --> 01:19:53,459
I knew no French at all.

879
01:19:53,834 --> 01:19:55,542
Everyday I read and cut out

880
01:19:55,626 --> 01:19:58,792
news articles about his activities

881
01:19:58,876 --> 01:20:01,209
to satisfy myself.

882
01:20:01,292 --> 01:20:04,376
Collecting the articles and his photographs

883
01:20:04,459 --> 01:20:07,876
was thrilling enough on its own.

884
01:20:24,959 --> 01:20:26,376
Inside a soap bubble

885
01:20:26,459 --> 01:20:28,459
Cannot find a way into garden

886
01:20:28,542 --> 01:20:30,626
Spin around and around the edges

887
01:20:38,084 --> 01:20:39,584
Cocteau's poems are,

888
01:20:40,209 --> 01:20:43,292
in every aspect, dynamic and cubic,

889
01:20:43,751 --> 01:20:47,042
and have attempted

890
01:20:47,126 --> 01:20:49,876
a visualized expression.

891
01:20:49,959 --> 01:20:51,667
In the <i>NRF</i> ( <i>La Nouvelle Revue Francaise</i> )

892
01:20:51,751 --> 01:20:55,501
he claimed authors to be heroes

893
01:20:55,584 --> 01:21:00,167
who constantly press ahead with esprit.

894
01:21:00,251 --> 01:21:02,584
If the hero considers a return back to the past,

895
01:21:02,667 --> 01:21:05,251
he commits a literary suicide.

896
01:21:07,292 --> 01:21:09,626
During three days in Japan,

897
01:21:09,709 --> 01:21:13,876
Cocteau visited the Japanese navy and children in Kobe.

898
01:21:13,959 --> 01:21:16,042
Then he saw Kikugoro Onoe's performance in <i>Kagami Jishi,</i>

899
01:21:16,126 --> 01:21:18,334
and he appreciated it highly.

900
01:21:18,417 --> 01:21:22,542
During the performance he felt "the divinity of theater."

901
01:21:22,959 --> 01:21:25,584
He thought the lion's long, shuddering tail

902
01:21:25,667 --> 01:21:27,542
resembled a giant brush-pen,

903
01:21:28,459 --> 01:21:33,334
and he found in it the sublime of Greek tragedy.

904
01:21:57,542 --> 01:21:59,292
I read the papers and knew

905
01:21:59,376 --> 01:22:03,667
he was to leave Yokohama on May 22,

906
01:22:03,751 --> 01:22:08,501
so I went to join the crowd there and see him off.

907
01:22:09,167 --> 01:22:12,792
About fifteen or twenty minutes before the ship left,

908
01:22:13,376 --> 01:22:17,334
three or four people screamed "Cocteau is here!"

909
01:22:17,417 --> 01:22:22,084
and then the crowd surrounded him.

910
01:22:22,834 --> 01:22:26,251
I was in the crowd, too.

911
01:22:26,959 --> 01:22:30,917
Cocteau looked a little bit different from his photos.

912
01:22:31,001 --> 01:22:33,751
I blinked my eyes a few times and

913
01:22:33,834 --> 01:22:36,584
wondered whether this was really Cocteau.

914
01:22:36,667 --> 01:22:38,917
Suddenly I was pushed to his side.

915
01:22:39,001 --> 01:22:41,876
Perhaps mistaking me for someone else,
he thrust out his hand

916
01:22:41,959 --> 01:22:43,292
and I shook it.

917
01:22:45,417 --> 01:22:46,751
Bon voyage...

918
01:22:47,417 --> 01:22:48,667
Merci, monsieur...

919
01:22:50,126 --> 01:22:52,876
He seemed to say something else to me

920
01:22:52,959 --> 01:22:55,501
but I could hardly understand.

921
01:22:56,459 --> 01:23:01,209
Like the photo in <i>Gloves of The Sky,</i>

922
01:23:01,292 --> 01:23:04,167
he has the large hands of an artist.

923
01:23:04,251 --> 01:23:06,626
His palms and long fingers.

924
01:23:06,709 --> 01:23:10,792
Blue veins coursing through them.

925
01:23:11,834 --> 01:23:14,209
Then, among the gifts he held,

926
01:23:14,292 --> 01:23:22,792
I saw Ema Shoko's <i>Invitation to Spring.</i>

927
01:23:24,376 --> 01:23:30,084
Cocteau appeared to sincerely regret having to leave.

928
01:23:30,167 --> 01:23:33,001
He waved a white handkerchief

929
01:23:33,084 --> 01:23:38,376
then tossed it into the sky of the haze-filled harbor.

930
01:23:38,459 --> 01:23:41,001
Like a white butterfly

931
01:23:41,084 --> 01:23:42,792
it fluttered

932
01:23:42,876 --> 01:23:45,792
and disappeared into the ocean.

933
01:23:45,876 --> 01:23:49,834
Loneliness filled my heart,

934
01:23:49,917 --> 01:23:53,751
like a butterfly descending into the waves.

935
01:25:25,501 --> 01:25:27,709
The Sea Sparkles are shining —

936
01:25:27,792 --> 01:25:30,917
Should I borrow Cocteau's ears to listen
to the sounds of the ocean,

937
01:25:31,001 --> 01:25:33,042
Or should I become a seashell?

938
01:28:02,667 --> 01:28:04,626
The sky in the angled rays of the sun

939
01:28:04,709 --> 01:28:08,834
shimmers above the sugar cane fields.

940
01:28:10,001 --> 01:28:13,292
In the flat kingdom of banyan trees

941
01:28:13,376 --> 01:28:15,959
the buffalo's eyes are bloodshot.

942
01:28:16,042 --> 01:28:20,917
A girl's youth unfulfilled by makeup.

943
01:28:21,001 --> 01:28:24,709
A hand hits sugar cane with a scythe.

944
01:28:24,792 --> 01:28:29,292
Father strikes his pipe with a sad face.

945
01:28:33,334 --> 01:28:35,126
- This time we'll need to harvest

946
01:28:35,209 --> 01:28:38,876
enough out of this crop for your dowry...

947
01:28:40,251 --> 01:28:42,917
The sugar cane worries

948
01:28:43,001 --> 01:28:46,084
it would become sugar.

949
01:29:04,334 --> 01:29:06,709
In a state of clumsiness,

950
01:29:06,792 --> 01:29:11,292
Taiwan literature has slowly raised its head
in recent years;

951
01:29:11,376 --> 01:29:13,834
Some writers focus more on themselves

952
01:29:13,917 --> 01:29:16,584
than on literature itself.

953
01:29:16,667 --> 01:29:23,376
They are satisfied with

954
01:29:23,459 --> 01:29:26,792
the aura of being literati.

955
01:29:26,876 --> 01:29:30,584
Instead of fulfilling their vanity,

956
01:29:30,667 --> 01:29:33,667
another group is enthusiastically engaged,

957
01:29:33,751 --> 01:29:39,334
working persistently for literature.

958
01:29:39,792 --> 01:29:47,667
Shouldn't the "two breaths" become "one breath" quickly

959
01:29:47,751 --> 01:29:53,292
and march at a matched pace?

960
01:29:58,792 --> 01:30:02,167
西腸順三郎 《歐洲文學》
<i>The Literature of Europe</i> by Nishiwaki Junzaburo

961
01:30:03,417 --> 01:30:06,001
James Joyce's <i>Ulysses</i> appears

962
01:30:06,084 --> 01:30:08,501
with a formidable form,

963
01:30:08,584 --> 01:30:12,126
and no young authors can escape its influence,

964
01:30:12,209 --> 01:30:15,042
the sharp mentality of this book.

965
01:30:16,209 --> 01:30:19,709
When reading it one cannot help but recall

966
01:30:19,792 --> 01:30:22,334
Professor Nishiwaki Junzaburo's great work

967
01:30:22,417 --> 01:30:25,001
<i>The Literature of Europe.</i>

968
01:30:25,626 --> 01:30:29,626
Nishiwaki argues that, when studying foreign literature,

969
01:30:29,709 --> 01:30:35,709
to retain unchanged our Japanese perspectives

970
01:30:35,792 --> 01:30:39,209
is to land a damaging blow to the field.

971
01:30:40,001 --> 01:30:40,959
Therefore,

972
01:30:41,042 --> 01:30:43,834
Haruyama Yukio's massive study

973
01:30:43,917 --> 01:30:46,209
<i>Joyce-centered Literature Movement</i>

974
01:30:46,292 --> 01:30:49,084
is a glittering scholarly gem that offers

975
01:30:49,167 --> 01:30:51,376
a key to the forces behind

976
01:30:51,459 --> 01:30:54,251
the formidable James Joyce.

977
01:30:58,042 --> 01:30:59,792
<i>...dried fish is scarce.</i>

978
01:30:59,876 --> 01:31:01,709
<i>As for side dish...</i>

979
01:31:01,792 --> 01:31:03,792
<i>a thin filet of muroaji fish</i>

980
01:31:03,876 --> 01:31:06,084
<i>three to five cents.</i>

981
01:31:06,167 --> 01:31:07,834
<i>Pickled, you're talking...</i>

982
01:31:07,917 --> 01:31:11,667
Did you hear Choi Seung-hee is coming to Taiwan?

983
01:31:13,459 --> 01:31:14,709
She's accepted an invitation

984
01:31:14,792 --> 01:31:17,209
from the Taiwan Literature Federation.

985
01:31:17,584 --> 01:31:19,917
<i>...coastal fish is also scarce,</i>

986
01:31:20,001 --> 01:31:22,626
<i>but you may buy some from Kansai.</i>

987
01:31:22,709 --> 01:31:24,126
<i>I hear there isn't much...</i>

988
01:31:24,209 --> 01:31:26,501
<i>Last 40 meters,</i>

989
01:31:26,584 --> 01:31:28,251
<i>Maehata leads, Maehata leads,</i>

990
01:31:28,334 --> 01:31:29,959
<i>Genenger is also dashing out!</i>

991
01:31:30,042 --> 01:31:31,501
<i>She is trailing behind a little.</i>

992
01:31:31,584 --> 01:31:32,792
<i>Maehata retains a narrow lead.</i>

993
01:31:32,876 --> 01:31:34,084
<i>Go ahead! Maehata!</i>

994
01:31:34,167 --> 01:31:35,667
<i>Go ahead! Maehata, Go ahead!</i>

995
01:31:35,751 --> 01:31:37,459
<i>Last 25 meters, last 25 meters,</i>

996
01:31:37,542 --> 01:31:39,126
<i>last 25 meters</i>

997
01:31:40,042 --> 01:31:41,542
<i>Maehata leads!</i>

998
01:31:41,626 --> 01:31:43,084
<i>She leads a little! Maehata,</i>

999
01:31:43,167 --> 01:31:45,626
<i>Go ahead! Go ahead!</i>

1000
01:31:45,959 --> 01:31:49,834
I walk from out of a white cloud
to the edge of one piece of distance

1001
01:31:52,876 --> 01:31:56,376
And I bend deeply. Time ripples out over there

1002
01:31:59,751 --> 01:32:03,084
Leaping. I leapt.

1003
01:32:07,626 --> 01:32:10,626
Now I'm in the sky—

1004
01:32:16,501 --> 01:32:19,417
The sky holds me, muscles hung in the sky

1005
01:32:19,501 --> 01:32:21,792
But I fall

1006
01:33:13,126 --> 01:33:14,876
<i>Next we'll look at local weather.</i>

1007
01:33:15,334 --> 01:33:16,792
<i>First, Tokyo.</i>

1008
01:33:17,209 --> 01:33:20,042
<i>Tonight, wind from the south, and a brief north wind.</i>

1009
01:33:20,126 --> 01:33:21,876
<i>Clear with some clouds,</i>

1010
01:33:22,084 --> 01:33:22,959
<i>after dark</i>

1011
01:33:23,042 --> 01:33:25,501
<i>there may be some rain showers.</i>

1012
01:33:26,251 --> 01:33:28,917
<i>Tomorrow, a north wind becoming south.</i>

1013
01:33:29,001 --> 01:33:30,751
<i>Clear with some clouds</i>

1014
01:33:30,834 --> 01:33:32,167
<i>and chance of rain</i>

1015
01:33:32,251 --> 01:33:33,834
<i>in the afternoon.</i>

1016
01:33:34,834 --> 01:33:36,167
<i>In Saitama,</i>

1017
01:33:36,251 --> 01:33:37,959
<i>tonight, east winds.</i>

1018
01:33:38,042 --> 01:33:39,542
<i>Intermittent clouds</i>

1019
01:33:39,626 --> 01:33:41,167
<i>after dark there will be scattered</i>

1020
01:33:41,251 --> 01:33:43,584
<i>rain showers and thunderstorms.</i>

1021
01:33:44,542 --> 01:33:46,126
<i>Tomorrow southeast winds</i>

1022
01:33:46,209 --> 01:33:48,501
<i>and mostly clear skies.</i>

1023
01:33:50,334 --> 01:33:52,209
<i>Tonight in Kanagawa Prefecture,</i>

1024
01:33:52,292 --> 01:33:56,001
<i>southerly winds and mostly clear skies.</i>

1025
01:33:56,084 --> 01:33:58,167
Swaying breezes

1026
01:33:58,542 --> 01:33:59,459
Earlier hours,

1027
01:33:59,542 --> 01:34:00,542
hazed,

1028
01:34:00,626 --> 01:34:01,709
pressed,

1029
01:34:01,792 --> 01:34:03,459
sweated,

1030
01:34:03,834 --> 01:34:07,167
Breezes cooling the air,

1031
01:34:07,959 --> 01:34:10,834
Nature's ambition waiting

1032
01:34:12,126 --> 01:34:13,001
breezes,

1033
01:34:13,459 --> 01:34:14,501
breezes,

1034
01:34:14,709 --> 01:34:15,959
cooler,

1035
01:34:17,209 --> 01:34:18,251
breezes,

1036
01:34:18,501 --> 01:34:19,959
wind mist,

1037
01:34:20,709 --> 01:34:22,542
Contours distinct,

1038
01:34:23,251 --> 01:34:24,584
cooler,

1039
01:34:24,834 --> 01:34:26,417
delightful,

1040
01:34:27,376 --> 01:34:30,251
Sun struggling and showing,

1041
01:34:31,084 --> 01:34:32,709
Growing pale,

1042
01:34:32,959 --> 01:34:34,542
faint, fainter,

1043
01:34:34,792 --> 01:34:37,209
and getting fainter indeed

1044
01:34:38,042 --> 01:34:42,917
Life easier delightful.

1045
01:35:00,501 --> 01:35:05,251
A single butterfly crosses over the Tartary Strait

1046
01:35:05,584 --> 01:35:07,917
安西冬衛 《軍艦茉莉》
<i>Gunkan Mari</i>

1047
01:35:22,959 --> 01:35:27,584
The silhouettes of seabirds passed over the cape again today

1048
01:35:28,459 --> 01:35:31,667
Last month Yu Da-fu visited Taiwan -

1049
01:35:31,751 --> 01:35:33,876
Were you there, Shuiying Ping?

1050
01:35:33,959 --> 01:35:37,626
The conference was monitored by Special Police.

1051
01:35:38,001 --> 01:35:39,959
I thought Yu may have planned to

1052
01:35:40,042 --> 01:35:43,084
announce some new concept, but that's it.

1053
01:36:05,834 --> 01:36:11,501
〈北平郊區日中兩軍衝突〉
"Japan forces engaged with China on the outskirts of Peiping"

1054
01:36:13,084 --> 01:36:14,084
Li Zhang-rui,

1055
01:36:15,876 --> 01:36:18,001
because of the war,

1056
01:36:18,084 --> 01:36:22,251
Chinese-language columns in the papers are abolished,

1057
01:36:22,334 --> 01:36:24,376
And <i>Taiwan New Literature,</i> as well.

1058
01:36:24,459 --> 01:36:27,251
The next issue might be the last.

1059
01:36:27,792 --> 01:36:29,751
It means <i>Fengyue Newspaper</i> will be

1060
01:36:29,834 --> 01:36:31,709
the only remaining Chinese-language publication.

1061
01:36:31,959 --> 01:36:34,542
It's unsettling.

1062
01:37:51,292 --> 01:37:52,542
November 20, 1938

1063
01:37:52,626 --> 01:37:53,917
English Literature Department Picnic,

1064
01:37:54,001 --> 01:37:55,584
held by Prof. Nishikawa Junzaburo

1065
01:37:55,667 --> 01:37:57,376
Left Tamagawa on the Oda Express

1066
01:37:57,459 --> 01:37:58,751
that runs upriver along the outer banks.

1067
01:37:58,834 --> 01:38:00,792
Rested at Inadazutsumi, visited Jindaiji Temple;

1068
01:38:00,876 --> 01:38:02,959
had the delicious soba at the storied temple.

1069
01:38:03,042 --> 01:38:04,959
Crimson on maples and yellow on ginkgo were beautiful.

1070
01:38:05,042 --> 01:38:05,626
On way home,

1071
01:38:05,709 --> 01:38:07,126
we took in more autumn scenery in Musashino.

1072
01:38:22,334 --> 01:38:25,126
Prof. Nishiwaki Junzaburo talked

1073
01:38:25,209 --> 01:38:27,251
about his life in Britain,

1074
01:38:27,751 --> 01:38:30,959
and about trees and flowers.

1075
01:38:31,917 --> 01:38:35,709
With the thick greenery of Numamoto behind him,

1076
01:38:36,542 --> 01:38:39,042
he joked that we are in the painting of

1077
01:38:39,126 --> 01:38:41,709
"A Sketch of British Literature: South Seas"

1078
01:38:41,917 --> 01:38:43,709
Professor loved his pipe

1079
01:38:43,792 --> 01:38:46,959
Being with the professor was joyful

1080
01:39:39,542 --> 01:39:42,251
White promenade

1081
01:39:49,459 --> 01:39:52,667
White chair White perfume

1082
01:40:00,084 --> 01:40:04,042
White cat White socks White neck

1083
01:40:14,834 --> 01:40:16,834
White sky White clouds

1084
01:40:16,917 --> 01:40:19,667
Then a handstanding
White girl

1085
01:40:31,626 --> 01:40:34,376
My Kodak

1086
01:40:43,876 --> 01:40:46,626
White girl

1087
01:41:12,876 --> 01:41:16,167
Sometimes I want to become fruit.

1088
01:41:16,251 --> 01:41:21,209
Fresh smell and girlish innocent blushing sexuality
strokes and pampers the soul's fatigue.

1089
01:41:21,292 --> 01:41:24,001
Desires for fresh fruit.

1090
01:41:24,084 --> 01:41:28,084
My blood pressure always wants to be a peach flower.

1091
01:41:47,876 --> 01:41:50,959
I wonder what place in Taiwan can we find

1092
01:41:51,042 --> 01:41:54,251
a good family to marry into?

1093
01:41:56,167 --> 01:41:59,376
Let's ask your uncle over there.

1094
01:42:52,084 --> 01:42:53,209
A day begins and ends

1095
01:42:53,292 --> 01:42:56,042
with rickshaws in Peiping.

1096
01:42:57,292 --> 01:43:00,167
The delegation officially greeting us,

1097
01:43:00,251 --> 01:43:02,792
the Mochizuki travel group,

1098
01:43:02,876 --> 01:43:05,292
show up on a row of rickshaws that

1099
01:43:05,376 --> 01:43:08,751
cross the ancient city in great numbers,

1100
01:43:08,834 --> 01:43:12,709
tracing along avenues

1101
01:43:12,792 --> 01:43:17,042
winding through narrow hutongs,

1102
01:43:17,417 --> 01:43:19,167
passing one unfamiliar hutong

1103
01:43:19,501 --> 01:43:21,542
after another.

1104
01:43:22,042 --> 01:43:25,001
It's a drizzly day.

1105
01:43:25,376 --> 01:43:27,167
I was led by a strangely calm

1106
01:43:27,251 --> 01:43:30,667
and fresh-faced Chinese guide.

1107
01:43:30,751 --> 01:43:34,459
Inside the Forbidden City

1108
01:43:34,959 --> 01:43:41,459
I imagined the
magnificent ceremonies held there

1109
01:43:41,542 --> 01:43:47,959
and I thrilled at the extreme luxury of the imperial family.

1110
01:43:48,042 --> 01:43:51,001
When I counted the shifts of dynasties,

1111
01:43:51,084 --> 01:43:54,876
a miserable "people" comes to mind.

1112
01:43:54,959 --> 01:43:59,126
But I didn't want such sentimentalism

1113
01:43:59,209 --> 01:44:03,584
to invade my daydreams.

1114
01:44:04,501 --> 01:44:09,209
Just like when walking alongside

1115
01:44:09,292 --> 01:44:12,751
a crumbling wall of the palace,

1116
01:44:12,834 --> 01:44:18,459
I saw a pitiful boy, soaked by rain,

1117
01:44:18,917 --> 01:44:22,042
herding farm pigs and sheep.

1118
01:44:22,126 --> 01:44:25,667
To compare the boy's fate with

1119
01:44:25,751 --> 01:44:29,917
the distant,
once decadent lives behind the wall?

1120
01:44:30,001 --> 01:44:32,001
I wonder if it's any use to compare.

1121
01:44:32,084 --> 01:44:34,584
I don't know.

1122
01:44:34,667 --> 01:44:38,042
I merely encountered and embraced the scene

1123
01:44:38,126 --> 01:44:41,042
as it was,

1124
01:44:41,126 --> 01:44:44,042
as a captivating painting riven with threads -

1125
01:44:44,126 --> 01:44:47,792
as a beautiful collection of poems.

1126
01:44:50,042 --> 01:44:52,417
Always grope in clear cerebral fluid
Fatigued reason

1127
01:44:52,501 --> 01:44:54,959
Flowers of the north

1128
01:44:55,042 --> 01:44:57,001
Destroy the garden soil...

1129
01:44:57,084 --> 01:45:00,001
Silent as a fossil
The blood of a people

1130
01:45:04,084 --> 01:45:06,459
One night last month,

1131
01:45:06,542 --> 01:45:11,417
I had a fever of 40.6 degrees and collapsed.

1132
01:45:12,042 --> 01:45:14,542
I struggled. My body was colored

1133
01:45:14,917 --> 01:45:18,001
by flowers of heat. My mind swayed between

1134
01:45:18,084 --> 01:45:21,126
reality and a world burnt by illness.

1135
01:45:21,292 --> 01:45:24,834
An enchantment lifts an ill <i>esprit,</i>

1136
01:45:24,917 --> 01:45:27,292
a thick music,

1137
01:45:27,376 --> 01:45:29,709
bloody flowers floated...

1138
01:45:30,751 --> 01:45:34,417
Beneath a poetic shower pouring

1139
01:45:34,501 --> 01:45:36,709
on my bed I was fatigued.

1140
01:45:36,792 --> 01:45:40,626
I shed a layer of skin like a weary snake...

1141
01:46:02,334 --> 01:46:04,709
5月20日返
Back to Taiwan on May 20

1142
01:46:07,209 --> 01:46:14,084
林修二與原妙子 ，台南神社婚禮 ，1940.6.18
Hara Taeko and Lin Xiu-er married at Tainan Jinja

1143
01:46:38,251 --> 01:46:41,209
國語家庭
National Language Family

1144
01:47:15,626 --> 01:47:19,709
As if startled by its own movement,
the bat flits out into the open

1145
01:47:19,792 --> 01:47:22,876
As if it were tracing the cracks in a tea cup

1146
01:47:22,959 --> 01:47:26,292
the bat flies through,
transiting a porcelain-like dusk

1147
01:47:26,709 --> 01:47:28,959
《雉子日記》
<i>The Diary of Kiji</i>

1148
01:47:29,042 --> 01:47:31,876
A stanza from Rilke's poem

1149
01:47:31,959 --> 01:47:34,751
is quoted in <i>Mountain Diary.</i>

1150
01:47:34,834 --> 01:47:40,584
I happened to read the same poem in <i>The Diary of Kiji</i>

1151
01:47:40,667 --> 01:47:43,167
and I was delighted to see it.

1152
01:47:43,792 --> 01:47:46,751
Baudelaire was fascinated with bats,

1153
01:47:46,834 --> 01:47:48,834
but I'm not that fond of them.

1154
01:47:49,376 --> 01:47:52,042
Like a crack in a tea cup,

1155
01:47:52,126 --> 01:47:56,209
the line of a bat's flight is beautiful.

1156
01:47:56,292 --> 01:47:57,584
Cracks!

1157
01:47:57,667 --> 01:48:00,917
This word is perfectly descriptive

1158
01:48:01,001 --> 01:48:03,501
- so these beautiful lines are.

1159
01:48:39,084 --> 01:48:42,042
Madam, excuse me.

1160
01:48:42,334 --> 01:48:45,751
My, my, what a crispy sound!

1161
01:49:15,792 --> 01:49:20,292
We will celebrate the New Year next week.

1162
01:49:20,792 --> 01:49:22,876
Huh? Next week...?

1163
01:49:24,501 --> 01:49:28,042
It seems that the New Year Festival here

1164
01:49:28,126 --> 01:49:30,334
is not the same as in Japan.

1165
01:49:37,501 --> 01:49:41,667
New Year?

1166
01:49:41,751 --> 01:49:45,292
Uh, the New Year is still one month away...

1167
01:49:45,376 --> 01:49:48,792
What? One month away?

1168
01:49:58,334 --> 01:50:01,709
<i>Gunfire swelled on German-Polish border.</i>

1169
01:50:01,792 --> 01:50:04,959
<i>Europe seethes with war again.</i>

1170
01:50:05,042 --> 01:50:07,584
<i>Like the Spanish civil war.</i>

1171
01:50:07,667 --> 01:50:10,417
<i>Conflict between France and Great Britain
and the Soviet Union ends.</i>

1172
01:50:10,501 --> 01:50:12,501
<i>But that rising maelstrom of sound -</i>

1173
01:50:12,584 --> 01:50:18,209
<i>Is the victorious Teutonic-Italian league roaring</i>

1174
01:50:33,542 --> 01:50:35,251
Paris has fallen,

1175
01:50:35,334 --> 01:50:37,167
my far-flung friend.

1176
01:50:37,251 --> 01:50:40,084
You have left your name
imprinted on your collection of poems,

1177
01:50:40,167 --> 01:50:41,834
Like a bloodstain.

1178
01:50:41,917 --> 01:50:44,126
Zhang Liang-dian changed his name to Nagata Yoshinori

1179
01:50:44,209 --> 01:50:45,876
(Taiwanese people with a new Japanese name

1180
01:50:45,959 --> 01:50:47,167
could receive better daily supplies.)

1181
01:50:47,251 --> 01:50:52,167
Li Zhang-rui changed his name to Aizawa Ichiro

1182
01:50:52,792 --> 01:50:54,542
Lin Xiu-er has come.

1183
01:50:54,834 --> 01:50:57,584
Shuiyin Ping to Yanagisawa Masao

1184
01:51:00,459 --> 01:51:03,959
Shuiyin Ping, good to see you!

1185
01:51:05,917 --> 01:51:09,001
Li Zhang-rui, I didn't know you'd be here.

1186
01:51:09,751 --> 01:51:11,584
This is my wife.

1187
01:51:11,667 --> 01:51:13,334
Her name is Taeko.

1188
01:51:15,709 --> 01:51:17,084
I borrowed <i>Memories of Taiwan</i>

1189
01:51:17,167 --> 01:51:19,667
by Nakagawa Inosuke.

1190
01:51:19,917 --> 01:51:22,542
It was voluminous,

1191
01:51:22,751 --> 01:51:25,417
but it's self-indulgent,

1192
01:51:25,501 --> 01:51:28,876
and every observation is self-affirmative.

1193
01:51:28,959 --> 01:51:31,292
You quickly realize that

1194
01:51:31,376 --> 01:51:34,501
he misunderstood Taiwan.

1195
01:51:34,876 --> 01:51:37,834
I remember I was invited to a dinner party

1196
01:51:37,917 --> 01:51:41,876
hosted by Shimada Kinji, along with Nishikawa Mitsuru

1197
01:51:41,959 --> 01:51:46,126
and Shuiying Ping, and Niigaki Koichi,

1198
01:51:46,209 --> 01:51:50,334
we had talked about this book.

1199
01:51:50,417 --> 01:51:56,876
I also recalled reading that Nakagawa had been arrested

1200
01:51:56,959 --> 01:52:01,584
in his underwear near Kawabata in the newspaper.

1201
01:52:02,709 --> 01:52:07,501
The horse takes the military port as viscera.

1202
01:52:08,709 --> 01:52:12,876
<i>First, in an emergency session held on June 23rd,</i>

1203
01:52:12,959 --> 01:52:14,626
<i>the Konoe Cabinet finalized plans for</i>

1204
01:52:14,709 --> 01:52:16,501
<i>a commodity mobilization program.</i>

1205
01:52:16,584 --> 01:52:20,876
<i>On October 22nd an assault was launched</i>

1206
01:52:20,959 --> 01:52:22,126
<i>on the largest stronghold</i>

1207
01:52:22,209 --> 01:52:25,251
<i>of anti-Japanese fighters,
located in Guangdong.</i>

1208
01:52:28,584 --> 01:52:35,042
<i>The Army and Navy Ministries report:</i>

1209
01:52:35,126 --> 01:52:40,751
<i>October 27th, 5:30 p.m.</i>

1210
01:52:41,709 --> 01:52:43,917
<i>our forces have eliminated</i>

1211
01:52:44,001 --> 01:52:49,501
<i>all remaining enemy forces...</i>

1212
01:52:50,126 --> 01:52:51,584
<i>On November 25th,</i>

1213
01:52:51,667 --> 01:52:53,751
<i>over the "Agreement

1214
01:52:53,834 --> 01:52:55,126

1215
01:52:55,209 --> 01:52:57,126
<i>representatives of Anti-Comintern Pact,</i>

1216
01:52:57,209 --> 01:52:58,959
<i>Japan, Germany and Italy,</i>

<i>gathered for its second annual celebration.</i>

1218
01:53:01,084 --> 01:53:02,959
<i>Prime Minister Arita gave the opening talk.</i>

1219
01:53:06,876 --> 01:53:10,042
The south is a source of light.
It lends us order

1220
01:53:10,126 --> 01:53:12,959
happiness and splendor

1221
01:53:17,917 --> 01:53:20,792
I've joined the Taiwan Literary Society

1222
01:53:20,876 --> 01:53:23,542
but I'm too busy

1223
01:53:23,626 --> 01:53:26,459
to submit anything.

1224
01:53:27,584 --> 01:53:30,667
With <i>Literary Taiwan</i> and <i>Literature of Taiwan</i>

1225
01:53:30,751 --> 01:53:34,126
writers were able to stay active.

1226
01:53:34,376 --> 01:53:37,084
Nishikawa Mitsuru strove to

1227
01:53:37,167 --> 01:53:40,751
establish Taiwan as a literary stronghold.

1228
01:53:40,834 --> 01:53:42,626
<i>Folklore of Taiwan</i> is also considered

1229
01:53:42,709 --> 01:53:44,626
to have solid content.

1230
01:53:45,126 --> 01:53:47,167
Guo Shui-tan mentioned that they're

1231
01:53:47,251 --> 01:53:50,376
working on a special issue on Beimen.

1232
01:53:50,459 --> 01:53:52,792
Frederic Mistral

1233
01:53:52,876 --> 01:53:55,417
wrote while living in southern France,

1234
01:53:55,501 --> 01:53:58,001
and produced glorious poetry in his native Provencal

1235
01:53:58,084 --> 01:54:01,917
that went beyond his contemporaries in Paris;

1236
01:54:02,001 --> 01:54:05,667
This shining Provencal literature

1237
01:54:05,751 --> 01:54:09,751
finally can be compared to a huge palace.

1238
01:54:10,126 --> 01:54:14,417
Just as he created a courageous and

1239
01:54:14,667 --> 01:54:16,459
long-revered voice,

1240
01:54:16,917 --> 01:54:20,167
so shall we from our South Seas Formosa

1241
01:54:20,251 --> 01:54:23,459
produce a literature worthy of the name,

1242
01:54:23,542 --> 01:54:26,001
and earn for it a place

1243
01:54:26,084 --> 01:54:28,876
in the history of Japanese literature.

1244
01:54:31,167 --> 01:54:32,459
In Tainan,

1245
01:54:32,542 --> 01:54:35,709
Shuiyin Ping, who is composing steadily,

1246
01:54:35,792 --> 01:54:38,917
along with Gyo Shotaro,

1247
01:54:39,209 --> 01:54:45,417
Toda Fusako, Hashimoto Fumio and Lin Xiu-er in Tokyo,

1248
01:54:45,792 --> 01:54:50,834
represent a new, incisive <i>espirit nouveau</i> for poetry.

1249
01:54:58,376 --> 01:55:02,792
《民俗台灣》
<i>Folklore of Taiwan</i>

1250
01:55:14,292 --> 01:55:19,376
《民俗台灣》 同仁
Members of <i>Folklore of Taiwan</i>

1251
01:56:21,542 --> 01:56:23,084
Oh, that's right!

1252
01:56:23,292 --> 01:56:27,459
An eclipse is visible from Tainan today.

1253
01:56:39,792 --> 01:56:41,876
Alas, finally

1254
01:56:41,959 --> 01:56:44,709
the end of our world is coming.

1255
01:56:46,126 --> 01:56:50,126
In the clear stretch of late autumn sky

1256
01:56:51,209 --> 01:56:54,501
a silk curtain spreads.

1257
01:56:54,834 --> 01:56:58,001
In an instant the sun darkens.

1258
01:56:58,334 --> 01:57:01,084
The spirits silently crouches beneath

1259
01:57:01,167 --> 01:57:03,542
the universe wearing a shroud.

1260
01:57:06,376 --> 01:57:08,167
Come what may,

1261
01:57:08,251 --> 01:57:12,959
the universe is my decided fate

1262
01:57:13,042 --> 01:57:16,042
like something understood

1263
01:57:16,126 --> 01:57:18,376
calmly

1264
01:57:18,459 --> 01:57:21,459
waiting for the light to return,

1265
01:57:22,042 --> 01:57:25,292
only the shadows above me

1266
01:57:25,376 --> 01:57:28,501
never fade away.

1267
01:57:29,501 --> 01:57:33,042
And the sun sets.

1268
01:57:35,042 --> 01:57:36,917
Pity, pity.

1269
01:57:37,417 --> 01:57:39,626
If it remains dark,

1270
01:57:39,709 --> 01:57:42,709
or, if night should fall,

1271
01:57:43,501 --> 01:57:48,792
When shall our sun shine once again?

01:58:38,959 --> 01:58:41,709

<i>Imperial Naval forces in the Western Pacific</i>

1282
01:58:49,917 --> 01:58:52,459

1283

<i>...America has not expressed</i>

<i>any repentance...</i>

1285
01:59:02,167 --> 01:59:04,626
Madam, a guest has arrived.

1286
01:59:04,959 --> 01:59:06,209
All right.

1287
01:59:23,542 --> 01:59:27,459
Dear, Zhang Liang-dian has arrived.

1288
01:59:29,501 --> 01:59:34,001
Lin Xiu-er, are you feeling better?

1289
01:59:35,959 --> 01:59:38,376
What are you reading?

1290
01:59:40,376 --> 01:59:43,001
三好達治 《測量船》
<i>The Surveying Ship</i> by Miyoshi Tatsuji

1291
02:00:09,417 --> 02:00:11,167
A wind blew.

1292
02:00:12,001 --> 02:00:16,209
And my words scattered as if the wind

1293
02:00:16,917 --> 02:00:20,792
had swept the autumn leaves.

1294
02:00:21,584 --> 02:00:24,251
Something cold ran down my cheeks

1295
02:00:24,334 --> 02:00:27,251
in a stream.

1296
02:01:16,917 --> 02:01:20,917
〈大東亞文學者大會召開〉
"The Greater East Asian Writers' Conference"

1297
02:01:26,792 --> 02:01:28,792
<i>With the support of the Information Office</i>

1298
02:01:28,876 --> 02:01:31,459
<i>"The Greater East Asian Writers' Conference,"</i>

1299
02:01:31,542 --> 02:01:36,292
<i>held its opening in Tokyo on Meiji Day,</i>

1300
02:01:36,376 --> 02:01:40,667
<i>uniting writers from Japan, Manchukuo, and China.</i>

1301
02:01:45,251 --> 02:01:49,667
<i>Representatives of the Republic of China</i>

1302
02:01:51,834 --> 02:01:55,626
<i>Manchukuo representatives</i>

1303
02:01:55,709 --> 02:01:57,917
<i>proclaimed the strength of Japan,</i>

1304
02:01:58,001 --> 02:02:02,251
<i>as they were on grand display during these opening events</i>

1305
02:02:02,334 --> 02:02:05,001
<i>in a time of struggle for Greater East Asia,</i>

1306
02:02:05,084 --> 02:02:07,376
<i>the poet Sasaki Nobutsuna rose to recite a waka</i>

1307
02:02:07,459 --> 02:02:09,626
<i>to welcome fellow writers from far away.</i>

1308
02:02:09,709 --> 02:02:12,084
<i>Saito Ryu then led the recitation of the oath.</i>

1309
02:02:15,709 --> 02:02:17,751
<i>The Conference proceeded</i>

1310
02:02:17,834 --> 02:02:20,001
<i>for the following two days,</i>

1311
02:02:20,084 --> 02:02:21,542
<i>on the 4th and the 5th,</i>

1312
02:02:21,626 --> 02:02:23,376
<i>members participated in solid debates</i>

1313
02:02:23,459 --> 02:02:25,876
<i>under the spirit of Hakko Ichiu.</i>

1314
02:02:25,959 --> 02:02:27,834
<i>They exchanged opinions</i>

1315
02:02:27,917 --> 02:02:30,417
<i>on the advance of Asia culture.</i>

1316
02:02:35,542 --> 02:02:37,709
<i>We, the assembled writers of Asia,</i>

1317
02:02:37,792 --> 02:02:41,292
<i>pledge to advance Japan to the forefront</i>

1318
02:02:41,376 --> 02:02:43,167
<i>and commit our very fates to the advent</i>

1319
02:02:43,251 --> 02:02:45,167
<i>of East Asian supremacy.</i>

1320
02:02:45,251 --> 02:02:47,376
<i>So declared on November 5</i>

1321
02:02:47,459 --> 02:02:49,792
<i>Showa 17 (1942).</i>

1322
02:02:49,876 --> 02:02:52,542
<i>The Greater East Asian Writers' Conference</i>

1323
02:02:58,959 --> 02:03:01,001
With enlistment paper in hand

1324
02:03:01,084 --> 02:03:02,626
you unyieldingly smile

1325
02:03:02,709 --> 02:03:04,084
You are no longer my brother

1326
02:03:04,167 --> 02:03:05,751
you are devoting your life

1327
02:03:05,834 --> 02:03:07,376
to the emperor

1328
02:03:07,459 --> 02:03:08,959
a Japanese soldier

1329
02:03:09,209 --> 02:03:11,959
<i>We salute and support the families</i>

1330
02:03:12,042 --> 02:03:15,542
<i>whose boys have been sent to the front.</i>

1331
02:03:32,376 --> 02:03:35,876
I thought about the youth in Taiwan.

1332
02:03:36,126 --> 02:03:38,751
I realized how our courageous young men

1333
02:03:38,834 --> 02:03:42,667
are proud of their military service,

1334
02:03:42,751 --> 02:03:46,167
how they embrace Japanese rules and order,

1335
02:03:46,584 --> 02:03:49,667
and how they understand Japanese

1336
02:03:49,751 --> 02:03:54,751
better than their own dialect,

1337
02:03:54,834 --> 02:03:58,417
in order to discard old Taiwanese customs.

1338
02:03:58,501 --> 02:04:01,667
This realization was startling.

1339
02:04:01,751 --> 02:04:04,959
Wasn't Taiwanese literature intended for

1340
02:04:05,042 --> 02:04:07,834
these young men?

1341
02:04:07,917 --> 02:04:10,459
Hadn't we created something more precise

1342
02:04:10,542 --> 02:04:14,876
and more beautiful than Japanese?

1343
02:04:14,959 --> 02:04:16,959
Hadn't we understood what they truly thought about,

1344
02:04:17,042 --> 02:04:19,626
and strived to make them

1345
02:04:19,709 --> 02:04:22,126
feel the strength of their ideas?

1346
02:04:22,209 --> 02:04:26,751
They fight firmly against their surroundings.

1347
02:04:26,834 --> 02:04:31,917
Are they encouraged by Taiwan Literature?

1348
02:04:32,001 --> 02:04:34,584
This assembly allowed me

1349
02:04:34,667 --> 02:04:37,334
to understand Taiwanese literature,

1350
02:04:37,417 --> 02:04:40,667
and what mission we should pursue.

1351
02:04:50,584 --> 02:04:59,376
If you fit a diamond into your artificial eye,
what would it be?

1352
02:04:59,459 --> 02:05:03,501
We must crush the huge head hung with sausage.

1353
02:05:03,584 --> 02:05:09,417
When will the day come when cremated ashes will be blown
from a palm like dandelion seeds?

1354
02:05:09,751 --> 02:05:12,084
〈美英擊滅之歌〉 〈健民運動〉
"The Song of Smashing Anglo-America / Health Movement"

1355
02:05:12,167 --> 02:05:14,792
You've been staying out a lot lately.

1356
02:05:16,876 --> 02:05:21,084
Guo Shui-tan was just let out of prison,

1357
02:05:21,584 --> 02:05:24,459
and so we stayed up all night talking.

1358
02:05:24,542 --> 02:05:28,334
You were out for two weeks, too.

1359
02:05:29,959 --> 02:05:32,834
I sent reports via telegram from the mountains.

1360
02:05:35,042 --> 02:05:38,001
We're running out of money, you know.

1361
02:06:10,667 --> 02:06:14,167
Dawn breaks in a drunken song, sounds of a spittoon

1362
02:06:14,251 --> 02:06:16,792
and from a native's lips to poesy give birth

1363
02:07:12,709 --> 02:07:16,084
This is a myth.
The flesh is but one attribute of the soul.

1364
02:07:16,167 --> 02:07:19,667
The flesh falls away but the soul remains,
so it is eternal.

1365
02:07:19,751 --> 02:07:21,584
Hideous shields.

1366
02:07:21,667 --> 02:07:25,792
Joined fury of million of souls,
will tear down the citadel of materialism.

1367
02:07:26,167 --> 02:07:31,001
<i>...this epochal war.</i>

1368
02:07:31,084 --> 02:07:34,417
<i>Victory in this struggle will...</i>

1369
02:08:02,626 --> 02:08:05,792
<i>The 1st Taiwan Final Engagement Literature Conference,</i>

1370
02:08:05,876 --> 02:08:08,376
<i>hosted by the Taiwan Literature Service,</i>

1371
02:08:08,459 --> 02:08:11,709
<i>Regional Sector, Imperial Central Agency,</i>

1372
02:08:11,792 --> 02:08:14,459
<i>under the direction of the
Japan Literature Service Association,</i>

1373
02:08:14,792 --> 02:08:17,792
<i>November 13th, 10 a.m.,</i>

1374
02:08:17,876 --> 02:08:19,834
<i>at Taipei City Hall,</i>

1375
02:08:19,917 --> 02:08:24,542
<i>60 members from the island gathered.</i>

1376
02:08:25,667 --> 02:08:27,709
<i>Pearl Harbor has brought total war</i>

1377
02:08:27,792 --> 02:08:29,751
<i>back to the south seas, and so,</i>

1378
02:08:29,834 --> 02:08:31,417
<i>as the full gravity of this battle</i>

1379
02:08:31,501 --> 02:08:32,834
<i>will surely be felt this autumn,</i>

1380
02:08:32,917 --> 02:08:37,042
<i>writers across Taiwan have come together as a united front</i>

1381
02:08:37,126 --> 02:08:39,876
<i>to discuss the establishment of a system</i>

1382
02:08:39,959 --> 02:08:42,917
<i>for literary contributions to the war.</i>

1383
02:08:43,001 --> 02:08:46,501
<i>At that time, it was decided that</i>

1384
02:08:46,584 --> 02:08:48,376
<i>the military system shall be supported by</i>

1385
02:08:48,459 --> 02:08:50,542
<i>the full strength of Taiwanese literature.</i>

1386
02:08:50,626 --> 02:08:52,584
<i>Under Japan's Reign for 50 years,</i>

1387
02:08:52,667 --> 02:08:55,584
<i>it's time for everyone to contribute to the empire.</i>

1388
02:08:55,667 --> 02:08:58,667
<i>What generosity! What compassion!</i>

1389
02:09:44,001 --> 02:09:48,001
No rice rations yet, for this year.

1390
02:09:48,084 --> 02:09:51,459
Let's make dumpling from Hourai rice.

1391
02:09:53,209 --> 02:09:57,751
It looks like we can't buy joss paper now, too.

1392
02:10:01,751 --> 02:10:03,751
Even if you don't pray to Gods,

1393
02:10:04,334 --> 02:10:07,084
you should still offer prayers to our ancestors.

1394
02:10:13,209 --> 02:10:16,209
西川滿 《花妖箋》
The Notes of <i>Flower Nymph</i>

1395
02:10:16,959 --> 02:10:19,751
That shadowy figure -

1396
02:10:20,084 --> 02:10:22,834
I wonder who it is.

1397
02:10:23,084 --> 02:10:26,167
There is no god in me

1398
02:10:26,417 --> 02:10:29,292
and I'm afraid that's true

1399
02:10:29,709 --> 02:10:33,376
There is no space for God in me -

1400
02:10:33,459 --> 02:10:36,209
I am no temple

1401
02:10:36,292 --> 02:10:39,584
because I myself am that god.

1402
02:10:40,042 --> 02:10:43,376
Rilke's god exists

1403
02:10:43,459 --> 02:10:47,001
I am an existence burning out

1404
02:10:47,251 --> 02:10:50,084
thus a collapsing god.

1405
02:10:56,001 --> 02:10:58,251
里爾克
Rainer Maria Rilke

1406
02:12:50,959 --> 02:12:52,251
"Devil —"

1407
02:12:52,334 --> 02:12:55,292
How many times was this word

1408
02:12:55,376 --> 02:12:58,584
shouted out during East Asian Buddhist Meeting.

1409
02:12:59,167 --> 02:13:00,376
"Devil."

1410
02:13:00,459 --> 02:13:02,417
There is no doubt that

1411
02:13:02,501 --> 02:13:04,417
it refers to Britain and America.

1412
02:13:04,501 --> 02:13:08,084
But the Japanese delegation made a speech

1413
02:13:08,167 --> 02:13:10,667
without using this word.

1414
02:13:11,042 --> 02:13:14,751
If so, why foreign delegates wouldn't adopt

1415
02:13:14,834 --> 02:13:19,167
the terms "Britain and America"?

1416
02:13:19,834 --> 02:13:23,459
Then the conclusion is clear.

1417
02:13:23,542 --> 02:13:27,042
That is, we should defeat Britain and America.

1418
02:13:27,376 --> 02:13:30,542
Every living soul across East Asia

1419
02:13:30,834 --> 02:13:32,626
should combine in strength

1420
02:13:32,709 --> 02:13:36,709
and push toward to this goal.

1421
02:13:39,292 --> 02:13:42,709
The metal of the axe rang out,
echoing with the core of the mountain.

1422
02:13:42,792 --> 02:13:46,209
"Soon this tree too
will be a ship dispatched to the front."

1423
02:13:46,292 --> 02:13:49,542
You said this to me as you ran your hand across the bark

1424
02:13:49,626 --> 02:13:51,792
With your big, gnarled hands.

1425
02:14:07,834 --> 02:14:10,584
In the literary circle of Taiwan -

1426
02:14:10,667 --> 02:14:14,417
writers, poets, lyricists, composers of haiku

1427
02:14:14,501 --> 02:14:16,584
and senryu - as well as in the field of fine arts,

1428
02:14:16,667 --> 02:14:19,084
both Eastern Painting and Western Painting,

1429
02:14:19,167 --> 02:14:21,667
it's time for all artists to band together.

1430
02:14:21,751 --> 02:14:23,584
What's left to be done is to organize

1431
02:14:23,667 --> 02:14:27,292
those in music, theater, science, and religion,

1432
02:14:27,376 --> 02:14:29,376
among other fields

1433
02:14:29,459 --> 02:14:31,792
under the rule of the new system.

1434
02:14:31,876 --> 02:14:33,542
Dear Intellectuals,

1435
02:14:33,626 --> 02:14:37,042
never miss this chance,

1436
02:14:37,126 --> 02:14:40,251
to help lead an imperial restoration of culture.

1437
02:14:40,334 --> 02:14:43,001
Dear fellow writers, I truly hope that

1438
02:14:43,084 --> 02:14:45,876
you can sense your responsibility as authors

1439
02:14:45,959 --> 02:14:47,834
in this time of transition.

1440
02:14:47,917 --> 02:14:49,959
Among the world's cultures,

1441
02:14:50,042 --> 02:14:51,834
with this Oriental fate and will,

1442
02:14:51,917 --> 02:14:53,459
we should invest our energy in

1443
02:14:53,542 --> 02:14:55,251
supporting great cooperation

1444
02:14:55,334 --> 02:14:56,626
and never withdraw.

1445
02:14:56,709 --> 02:14:58,626
While our Greater East Asian comrades

1446
02:14:58,709 --> 02:15:01,167
are fighting to topple Britain and America,

1447
02:15:01,334 --> 02:15:03,626
I would like to express

1448
02:15:03,709 --> 02:15:05,834
my gratitude to

1449
02:15:05,917 --> 02:15:12,376
the Greater East Asian Writers' Conference.

1450
02:15:12,792 --> 02:15:14,959
It is for these reasons that

1451
02:15:15,042 --> 02:15:16,542
our responsibility as writers is so great.

1452
02:15:16,626 --> 02:15:18,542
This rise to prominence of writers

1453
02:15:18,626 --> 02:15:20,834
is not merely to

1454
02:15:20,917 --> 02:15:22,792
walk out from the ivory tower,

1455
02:15:22,876 --> 02:15:26,376
but to face and encounter danger

1456
02:15:26,459 --> 02:15:30,626
defending our island without losing literary independence.

1457
02:15:30,709 --> 02:15:34,876
In short, literature can't live merely on

1458
02:15:34,959 --> 02:15:37,251
this wartime struggle

1459
02:15:37,334 --> 02:15:39,959
Without such reflection,

1460
02:15:40,042 --> 02:15:42,126
I'm afraid that motivations of authors

1461
02:15:42,209 --> 02:15:45,459
would prove to be meaningless.

1465

1466
02:18:28,084 --> 02:18:29,209
Kei!

1467
02:18:31,126 --> 02:18:33,501
Kei! Kei!

1468
02:19:14,834 --> 02:19:16,501
Hurry, hurry!

1469
02:19:24,292 --> 02:19:26,876
All that's left is sound

1470
02:19:26,959 --> 02:19:30,334
I close my eyes again
Place the pipe to my temple and laugh

1471
02:19:30,417 --> 02:19:34,001
As smoke exits through my mouth I refrain from moving

1472
02:20:06,251 --> 02:20:07,376
Shuiyin Ping,

1473
02:20:09,126 --> 02:20:12,459
so your house has burned down?

1474
02:20:14,209 --> 02:20:17,376
I'm looking for a place to settle down

1475
02:20:17,876 --> 02:20:20,667
my family stays in Nanxi.

1476
02:20:21,209 --> 02:20:24,251
Tainan is deserted.

1477
02:20:25,459 --> 02:20:28,542
Soviet Russia declared war on Japan last week.

1478
02:20:29,667 --> 02:20:33,834
I heard there will be an important announcement at noon.

1479
02:21:00,376 --> 02:21:04,376

Slaves for fifty years

1485
02:22:12,376 --> 02:22:14,501

1486
02:22:15,376 --> 02:22:19,917
二戰後日人遣返 ， 沿街拍賣家當
After the war, Japanese being repatriated to their country

1487
02:22:19,917 --> 02:22:22,376
二戰後日人遣返 ， 沿街拍賣家當
sold their possessions on street.

1488
02:23:47,542 --> 02:23:50,584
When the sun lost its color,
a rooster stood on one leg, pondering

1489
02:23:50,667 --> 02:23:53,459
On October 20, 1947, an autumn day

1490
02:23:53,542 --> 02:23:56,084
Why the colorless sun affect the leg?

1491
02:23:56,167 --> 02:23:59,167
Under a tree deprived of leaves!

1492
02:24:17,542 --> 02:24:22,376
《台灣新生報》 二二八事件 號外
<i>Taiwan Shin Sheng Daily News</i> Extra: 228 Incident

1493
02:25:09,917 --> 02:25:12,042
In March of 1947, journalist Shuiyin Ping,

1494
02:25:12,126 --> 02:25:15,042
taking order from his supervisor,
published an extra "228 Incident Breaking News."

1495
02:25:15,126 --> 02:25:17,959
He was thus accused of an "Offense Against State Security"

1496
02:25:18,042 --> 02:25:20,584
by the Kuomintang government and imprisoned for 6 months.

1497
02:25:20,667 --> 02:25:23,459
Zhang Liang-dian,
involved in the 228 Incident Handling Committee,

1498
02:25:23,542 --> 02:25:27,209
was accused of the same charge
and was detained for 9 months.

A poet not singing

Several colleagues in the Irrigation Office and I

1506

will hold a reading group.

1507
02:26:22,959 --> 02:26:25,334
Many books at bookstores are actually

1508
02:26:25,417 --> 02:26:29,459
traps set by the Kuomintang.

1509
02:26:29,542 --> 02:26:31,959
Please be careful.

1510
02:26:33,167 --> 02:26:35,084
If you don't take up Mandarin,

1511
02:26:35,167 --> 02:26:37,001
you won't be able to find work,

1512
02:26:37,334 --> 02:26:40,376
you even won't be able to write.

1513
02:26:42,042 --> 02:26:44,917
Do you know how Tang De-zhang was captured

1514
02:26:45,001 --> 02:26:47,251
by the 21st Division?

1515
02:26:48,376 --> 02:26:49,876
Before he was executed,

1516
02:26:49,959 --> 02:26:52,251
he was placed in the cell next to mine.

1517
02:26:53,667 --> 02:26:56,042
As for Zhang Liang-dian... he'd already

1518
02:26:56,126 --> 02:26:59,626
been in jail for several months.

1519
02:27:04,001 --> 02:27:08,042
<i>The Commander of the U.S 7th Fleet,</i>

<i>They boarded the destroyer to receive him in person,</i>

1527
02:27:33,751 --> 02:27:39,792
<i>and invited him to rest at a restaurant</i>

1528
02:27:39,876 --> 02:27:46,251

<i>in terms of defensive military strategies.</i>

1532
02:28:01,959 --> 02:28:05,292
A poet, with pipe in mouth,
swallows the sweet seasons mist;

1533
02:28:05,376 --> 02:28:09,084
the ashtray is the farm of a poet's thought.

1534
02:28:09,167 --> 02:28:14,126
In a splendid, seasonal landscape painting of the Tropics,

1535
02:28:14,209 --> 02:28:18,542
I hold a broken ukulele and become a singer of dusk.

Li Zhang-rui

1557
02:31:44,584 --> 02:31:48,417
was an officer in the Douliu Water Resources Bureau.

1558
02:31:48,501 --> 02:31:50,251
At the end of 1948,

1559
02:31:50,334 --> 02:31:52,792
He met a colleague Su Rong-sheng,

1560
02:31:52,876 --> 02:31:55,876
a member of underground Communist Party.

1561
02:31:55,959 --> 02:31:59,209
Either due to a passion for knowledge

1562
02:31:59,292 --> 02:32:01,501
or encouragement from Su,

1563
02:32:01,584 --> 02:32:04,751
Li organized a secret reading club

1564
02:32:04,834 --> 02:32:08,376
to share magazines on current affairs

1565
02:32:08,459 --> 02:32:12,501
In 1950, the underground Communist Party in Yunlin

1566
02:32:12,584 --> 02:32:15,709
was monitored and so was Su Rong-sheng.

1567
02:32:15,792 --> 02:32:19,459
Li's secret reading club was hence exposed.

1568
02:32:19,542 --> 02:32:22,584
Li was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

1569
02:32:22,667 --> 02:32:26,584
However, Chiang Kai-shek called for the death penalty

1570
02:32:26,667 --> 02:32:28,251
At the end of 1952,

1571
02:32:28,334 --> 02:32:33,001
Li was executed in Machangding, aged 41.

1572
02:32:43,167 --> 02:32:47,209
The bridge from my chest to home is a gray rainbow.

1573
02:32:47,292 --> 02:32:50,417
Are we natives going to scatter with fireworks?

1574

My poor wife and children who lost their companion

1576
02:32:57,834 --> 02:33:01,542
brace yourself against the bitter cold and stay strong

1577
02:36:39,459 --> 02:36:42,167
Those who value eternity

1578
02:36:42,251 --> 02:36:44,751
go trust a rock

1579
02:36:44,834 --> 02:36:47,292
and go make a grave stone.

1580
02:36:47,376 --> 02:36:50,667
Even if one dies young, like a flower,

1581
02:36:50,751 --> 02:36:53,292
in perfection...
