Professor Kung Peng-cheng of Taiwan's Tam- kang University says that mainland researchers favor the nativist school because of its realism, which is precisely what the authorities there advocate, while modernism is rejected as a form of capitalist imperialism.
淡江大學教授龔鵬程指出，大陸的研究者較喜歡鄉土派，是因為鄉土派的寫實主義，正是大陸當局所提倡的。而現代派則被視為資本主義的帝國思想，當然被排斥的。
