Growth always comes from the fragmentation of existing cognition in youth, and through impact, a brand-new self emerges, allowing them to gradually move towards adulthood. This paper took the coming-of-age film in Taiwan, named Meeting Dr. Sun that directed by Chin-yen Yee as an example. This film describes the inequality caused by innate disadvantages, and a group of youths who emulate the revolutionary spirit of Dr. Sun, the father of the country, hoping to overcome the nightmare of poverty through self-help. Different from general coming-of-age films emphasizing sunshine and vitality, this paper points out that Meeting Dr. Sun reveals the tension between underclass culture and hegemonic governance through satirical performance, and reflects on how Taiwanese youth can create imagination for class mobility under the mainstream values of society. This paper delves into the growth issues in Meeting Dr. Sun, including the conflicts between youth and adult society, oppression of authority, and class differences, and then focuses on how the film attempts to represent the growth challenges and cultural phenomenon of Taiwanese youth. |
