| Summary: | 碩士 === 中興大學 === 台灣文學研究所 === 99 === Young people are the future of our country, but are often overlooked in each period. Between childhood and adulthood among adolescents, it is the ambiguous period. At this stage of the early young and youth, the status of mental health, cognitive thinking, etc., are in the transition from immature to mature. The students’ psychological development is affected by the internal and external environmental changes on their thinking and social behavior in the future. This cannot be ignored. Therefore, this paper focuses on the development of the early youth and youth during Japanese Occupation Period, the ambiguous and psychological history. In the Japanese Occupation Period, a creative novelist Wu, Yongfu had published seven novels before the war, four of which are about the adolescents and youth. These works were written by Wu between 1933 and 1935, when he was twenty to twenty-two years old in his youth age. Young writers and their works of fiction about the protagonist''s young age are very relevant. Similar backgrounds of the writers and the protagonists make the writing comes close to the fiction, since writers would be likely to use personal experience to write. Hence, I think this is very interesting and worth exploring the connection between Wu’s works and his life.
Therefore, I’ll use Wu’s four pre-war novels, “Head and body” (1933.7), “Black Dragon” (1934.6), “Camellia” (1935.4) and “Ah Wong and His Father” (1935.9), as the texts of this study, and focus on the juvenile and youth fiction theme. In these four works, I find that the themes "young", "parents" and "love" interweaves three cases. Accordingly, it will be the three themes as a starting point to explore the post-Enlightenment civilization on colonized Wu, how he wrote in adolescents and youth with his personal experiences when growing up, and how he showed his response and reflection in the Japanese colonial period.
