2026 Chung Chao-cheng (鍾肇政) Literature Award Promotion Event "Chang Yi-hsuan (張亦絢) X Chang Hui-tzu (張慧慈) • True and False Scenes: Documentary and Fiction in Women's Literature"

This lecture specially invites two powerful writers who dissect Taiwanese society with sharp pens—Chang Yi-hsuan (張亦絢) and Chang Hui-tzu (張慧慈). One builds worlds in the fictional realm of novels, the other gazes directly at the frayed edges of life through non-fictional prose writing. When a "novelist" meets a "social observer," how will they engage and jointly depict the contemporary situation of Taiwanese women?

How do the two approach from different perspectives to observe women's struggles and transformations within families and systems? When words are used as weapons, how do the force of documentary and the depth of fiction intertwine to create the most moving life narratives? When the rigor of sociology meets the subtlety of cinematic art, what kind of chemical reaction will occur in the scene of women's literature?

Come to the venue to experience this intellectual and emotional dialogue, and together explore how words, between truth and falsehood, reality and fiction, can find the most sincere way for contemporary women to have their voices heard!
