Perhaps it is only this kind of tenacity that allows Chien Chen in the difficult literary environment of Taiwan to surpass her own heights. Or perhaps it is through her pen that we continue to realize the literary passions that we held as youths.
或許，就是這樣的韌性，讓簡媜能在台灣這麼困難的文學環境中一再翻新自己的高度；而我們也透過她的筆，不斷實現我們年少時都曾懷抱過的文學熱情。
