Professor Bai Xianyong (Kenneth Pai) is one of the most distinguished contemporary Chinese fiction writers and a leading figure in Taiwan’s Modernist literary movement of the 1960s, whose work has been widely read in Taiwan, Mainland China, and the Chinese diaspora.
The documentary is a rare disclosure of tumultuous events surrounding February 28 Incident in Taiwan in 1947. General Bai Chongxi, Professor Bai Xianyong’s late father and a famous Nationalist general during the Sino-Japanese war and the Chinese civil war, played a significant, yet insufficiently known, role in the aftermath of this tragic event.
The screening and Q&A section is open to all UT students and the public.
Please note, however, this recently produced documentary does not have English subtitle.
