Literature on Taiwan today should not only carry on the literary complex of "concern for the times and concern for the nation" which characterized the May Fourth Movement, but it must also transcend the nationalistic, anti-imperialist complex of modern Chinese history, the complex of "resisting external powers and eliminating internal traitors."
我總覺得今天我們台灣的文學，除了應該繼承五四以來「憂時憂國」的文學情結以外，我們還必須超越中國現代史上所謂「外抗強權、內除國賊」，這種充滿了民族主義與反帝國主義的情結。
