Then at a bookstore in Tokyo I happened to buy a mainland Chinese pirated version of The Butcher's Wife. I was very, very impressed to see such world-class literature coming out of Taiwan, and from that point I became very interested in Taiwanese literature.
直到在一個偶然的機會裡，我在東京的書店買到一本中國盜版的《殺夫》，看了以後非常驚奇，台灣竟有這種世界文學級的作品，從此開始對台灣文學感興趣。
