Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 中國文學系碩士班 === 104 === Zhau—Zheng Zhong an outstanding reprehensive of writers in Taiwan. He established Jiaoyoutongxun, Taiwanese Literature, and Mingzhongribao , and has been a chief editor of many important book collections, infusing fresh and innovative writing qualities/genres into Taiwan literature. With his remarkable achievements, he has earned himself the title of “Mother of Taiwan literature.”
In his writing, Zhong has reflected his personal life experiences, about which there must be some realization of and reflection about life. These understandings themselves are not only recollections of one’s past but in turn also help one to mature and pave the journey of life. For this reason, this paper aims to look into Zhau—Zheng Zhong three autobiographical works from a bildungsroman perspective to identify possible transitions in Zhong’s stories.
After I found that Chung began not only with the simple stroke of realistic self-journey into work among these three, and also let us see the growth of the Chung Chao-cheng. In terms of the older characters in the novel, "Under the Octagonal Tower", "turbidite Trilogy", "youth line" representing the Lost Wandering school students, people familiar with fresh ways of the world community, to practice self-dream of youth. Three novels, not only witnessed the growth trajectory Chung Chao-cheng, also showed a pulse of social interaction and personal relationships, interwoven with the personal appeal era trend of moving picture. Chung began writing, not only to explore the social era, but also dig out all kinds of human nature from the creative process, while he works dialogue with readers and also the memory of past feelings of self-repair.
The study found that Zhau—Zheng Zhong reflects his personal life experiences in the three novels, Under the Tower of Eight Angular, Social Life of the War Generation, and The Journey of Youth, and in particular, that of his growing up. In terms of the age and transformation of the protagonist in this series of novels, Lu Zhi Lung, we witness different stages of the character transforming from a naïve, fresh-faced high school student to a world weary, war-torn young adult, and finally to an adult who overcomes weariness to fulfill his dreams.
These three novels not only capture the trajectory of his growing up, they also reveal the social realm he lives in and the intricate interpersonal relations in this world. Zhau—Zheng Zhong''s writing explores relevant social issues as well as humanity. He converses with readers through his writing, which in turn allows him to reminisce on his past with great affection.
