From her outsider's point of view, "These writers who live in Taiwan are exceptionally conceited and arrogant. They dare to resist tradition and have brought about changes, but their works have a Taiwanese flavor. It's almost as if they are exploiting the South Pacific and ethnic conflict in the same way that Zhang Yimo has sold old China to the nations of the West."
她旁觀「這些留台作家相當自負，有傲氣，敢於反抗，也帶來新的變化、衝擊，但他們的作品有點台灣文學的味道，似乎在台灣賣弄『南洋』和『種族衝突』的風味，像張藝謀將中國的古老出賣給西方國家。」
