After 1949, the writers of the ethnic group from Mainland China rewrote or adapted “The Peach Colony” into novels and plays. This corresponded with the emigration phenomena and the consciousness of war survivors and described the trace of Taiwan's historical change. During the dominated era of anti-communism and nostalgia sentiment, the first-generation writer of the ethnic group from Mainland China, Chang Shu-Chian wrote the novel “At the Deep Site of White Cloud” describing the war survivors in Taiwan's Peach Colony in the high mountain. The novel implied with doubts for the reality and reflected Taiwan during that time was not in its prosperities. In the beginning of 1970s, Chang Hsiao-Feng in the playwriting “Wuling People” presented the discussion on emigration that shows the determination to return to the home country (Taiwan/China) as well as to co-exist with difficulties. In the end of 1980s, Stan Lai's “The Peach Blossom Land” talked about the diaspora experience of the first generation of the ethnic group from Mainland China and presented the collective ethnic memories of the second-generation creators of the ethnic group from Mainland China. His work became the fable across Taiwan Strait and transcended time and space. Under the popular trend of the discourse, in Chu Tien-Hsin's novel “Ancient Capital,” the ancient China in the time of “San San” apparently became the ideal Peach Colony. In the localization wave, the sons of immigrants felt that their statuses are not identified and Taipei became the fake Peach Colony mixed with the immigrants'/war survivors' sentiments. Compared to the complicate identities of the ethnic group from Mainland China, local Taiwanese writers adapted the Peach Colony to present simpler and clearer Taiwanese identity. “The Peach Colony” in Taiwan's novels and plays after the Chinese Civil War allowed the representation of old prototype as well as interdependence between discourses. Different methods to adapt and transform presents the reflection to the original work as well as the thinking towards the reality demonstrated by the creators in the post-contemporary era and the eager search of identity. |
