Chu Tien-hsin Novel

Taiwan society tends to diversification after its deregulation, which intensifies such problems as cultural and political identification again. In order to be politically correct, authors recollect and write selectively, pursuing for re-orientation in angst. They are stepping into post-colonization debates. As one of the second generation of those authors from outside Taiwan,Zhu Tianxin is in such a plight. She might face with query of whether she is identified with Taiwan at any moment. Although she is quite disturbed.Zhu sustains her "pure positive"character, and with unique strength explores herself. She adheres to her own writing style of "history" and "recollection", by which she responds to her times openly. Being an outsider, Zhu defends for the regius "Juancun( residential military community)", picturing her group's identity issues and finding a real voice out of the official history. Meanwhile she concerns about other disadvantaged groups. In a marginalized perspective, she studies the Taiwan society, criticizing and reflecting present Taiwanees' feelings of pressure and lost. This thesis intends to discuss some important sections and chapters abstracted from Zhu Tianxin's trilogy on Taiwan, which were completed in 1990s.Through analyzing the village-dependent experience, historical recollection and literature experience in her novels, I try to probe into the jams contemporary Taiwan authors, especially those second generation of outsider confront and how they manage to transcend.
