"Taiwan is an island, and the provincialism and localism of the works produced by most authors is too strong; there is a lack of literary works which are about common experiences shared by all human beings, or which are broadly concerned with international values."
「台灣地處島嶼，一般作家的作品地域性都太強，缺乏世人共通經驗、普遍關懷等具國際價值的文學作品。」
