Writing Across Fences

A talk by LUNG YING-TAI
co-sponsored by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center
Separated by more than six decades of hostility and suspicion, estranged by poignant memories of the 1949 civil war, and divided by divergent social and political systems, China and Taiwan have also developed significant differences culturally. As an author who writes for both sides of the Straits, Lung Ying-tai reveals how linguistic as well as ideological understanding and misunderstanding occur across the fences.
Yung Ying-tai is a celebrated writer, literary critic, and public intellectual. She not only has a large number of devoted readers in her native Taiwan, but her works also have great influence in the Chinese-language world in Hong Kong, China, and North America.
Monday, May 2
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Sequoia Room, Faculty Center
Seating is limited. RSVP is required.
