Tunghai University-News--Those Who Study Chinese: Professor Wenyue Lin’s After-Film Forum
The event was scheduled to start at 13:10 on May 9th, 2016, but a long waiting line was already formed outside of the venue around 12:00. Due to limited number of seats and over 200 sign-ups online, a large part of the audience had to sit on the ground or even stand in between aisles. There was not a single seat empty in the hall. Although already in her eighties, Prof. Wenyue Lin presented herself with grace and peacefulness, receiving a huge round of applause the moment she stepped onto the stage.
Prof. Wenyue Lin is the granddaughter of Lien Heng, a great historian and author of “General History of Taiwan”. Coming from a family of wisdom, Lin focuses on studying literature of the Southern Dynasties in Chinese history. During 1058 to 1993, she taught in the Department of Chinese Literature in National Taiwan University. At the same time, she published various genres of literary work as a prose writer and translator. Her appraised and awarded translated work includes Japanese historic pieces such as The Pillow Book, Izumi Shikibu’s Diary, The Tale of Genji, and Thirteen Nights.
The documentary, “Those Who Study Chinese,” is based on a few of her most significant literary works, turning the timeline back to her wartime childhood. It illustrates how she was influenced by literary masters such as Jingnong Tai and Zheng Qian, while depicting how she falls in love and stays true to her vows. It also shows her love to friends when writing the book Diet Diary and her hardwork and achievement when translating The Tale of Genji.
Prof. Wenyue Lin writes brilliantly in scholastic essays, translations, and proses. Her style of writing resembles her personality of grace and peace. In the article ‘The Most Beautiful Legend: Wenyue Lin’, Prof. Yu-Shiang Hao described Lin as the following:
She talks about the common moments in life ─ cooking, traveling, reading, teaching, friendships, and relationships ─ with words that are light, natural, humbled yet filled with profoundness. It appears to be tranquil and calm, but underneath it holds a majestic attitude. Within and in-between her words, readers are able to see her love towards the others and the world.
After the forum, Prof. Wenyue Lin agreed to give the audience her autograph. A massive audience of fans surrounded her for a long time before they reluctantly said goodbye to her.
