Chung Li-Ho was diagnosed with tuberculosis shortly after returned to Taiwan in August 1946. He continued writing and produced short essays during treatment: In Front of the Operating Table, Winter in the Attic, and Patient Yang Ji Kuan. This paper discussed Chung’s dairy and literature while receiving treatment in Taipei in the Postwar Period (1947-1950). Specifically, it explores the mutual effects between Chung’s sense, body, emotion, and thoughts when he experienced physical dysfunction because of tuberculosis, thereby describing the author’s treatment life and cultural situation. First, compiles Chung’s works and daily life records upon returning to Taiwan and examines his experience and diary before and after receiving treatment. Next, discuss Chung’s disease-related literature works and compare the content during treatment and before death. It facilitates the dialectics and disenchantment of the relationships of disease with the self and society. Finally, it summarizes the narrative agency of disease-related works created by Chung. In these works, the body represents the subjectivity and serves as the field of narrative discourse. Describing Chung’s literature on tuberculosis clarifies the narrative performance and self-perception that integrates physical experience and private language. |
