Huang Chunming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huang Chunming 黃春明 (also Hwang Chun-ming), born in Ilan, Taiwan in 1939, is an influential member of Taiwan's "hsiangtu" ("xiangtu" or "nativist") literary movement. Many of his short stories have been turned into films, including The Sandwich Man by director Hou Hsiao-Hsien. He began higher education at a college in Taipei. After a series of transfers, he ended up graduating from Pingtung Normal College in southern Taiwan. He is a writer of broad interests and remarkable versatililty, but he is first of all a short story writer. During the 1960's as a major contributor to the influential Literature Quarterly, Huang was hailed as a representative of hsiang-t'u wen-hsueh, the so- called indigenous literature that centers on rural life. In more recent works he has turned his attention to urban culture.
