People often ask me, "What exactly can one article of yours represent?" With the explosion of international information, an article is often submerged in the sea of countless information, but no amount of information can cover up a high-profile article. Quality, faithful reporting on the ground. What this report can "represent" is the reporter's close-up observation of the current social situation at that time, coupled with the in-depth tracking of "same type" issues for 10, 20, or even more than 40 years. For the phenomenon and trend of the whole society, some clues may be seen.
After half a century, the stage change of Southeast Asian reporting The earliest report on Southeast Asia by Guanghua (Chinese and English editions) appeared in the April 1987 issue of "Out of Indonesia". The content is not about the industry email list beautiful beaches in Indonesia, nor the delicious satay or colorful batik, but the first cold-rolled steelmaking plant built by Taiwan's China Steel Corporation and Ronggong at the time. The highest level of technical output. In the 1970s and 1980s, Taiwan's economy was booming, and the overseas export of high-quality technology was highly valued by Chinese people.
The "economic" aspect became one of the main aspects of Guanghua's coverage of Southeast Asia during this period. Another report related to Southeast Asia in the 1980s was on Chinese literature. At that time, Chinese literature in Southeast Asia was influenced by two factors, one was the vernacular movement of the May Fourth Movement in China, and the other was inspired by the creation of Chinese in Taiwan in the mid-1980s. This wave of creative energy can be traced back to the 1950s and 1960s. After the rise of modernism in Taiwan, magazines such as "Modern Literature", "Theatre" and "Human World" were successively launched, as well as the establishment of the "May Painting Club". Art creation is full of vitality.
