| Research Abstract |
Taiwanese Modern literature was deeply influenced by Japanese Modern literature to a certain extent due to colonial rule. I cannot overlook in particular influence of Japanese proletarian literature movement in 1930's. This was approach for a study and as a result of study, the following became clear.
The social-realism was popular worldwide in 1930's, and it influenced the Japanese proletarian writer greatly. And also the Taiwanese writer, like Yang Kui was affected by it through Japanese magazine "Bungaku Hyoron". However, Japan and Taiwan made a great difference. In Japan, the social-realism promoted collapse of proletarian literature movement. But Yang chose another course, which approaches the public, and apart from social-realism. He understood that it did not match Taiwanese reality.
So, we can conclude it as follows. Taiwanese writer reached global synchronism through Japanese literature, but also they kept their colonial identity and made the original literature world.
