Taiwan literature now belongs to the age of novels. Young novelists have widespread feelings of exaltation upon their achievement. I feel very happy for them; when we used to write fiction, no one would read it. Who would have given us any awards?
台灣文學，現在屬於小說時代，年輕小說家，揚眉吐氣，比比皆是，真為他們高興；從前我們寫小說，是沒有幾個人看的，誰還會想到給我們獎金？
