Renditions no. 96 (Autumn 2021)
The current issue contains a wide variety of stimulating pieces: it begins with a special section on Transregional Singapore Chinese Literature, which consists of short pieces by Singapore writers who have spent considerable time studying in Taiwan, namely Quah Sy Ren 柯思仁, Yin Songwei 殷宋瑋, and Chua Chim Kang 蔡深江. Following is a selection of Hou Bai’s 侯白 humorous anecdotes from the sixth century and a collection of poems from various times taking Hangzhou’s West Lake as location and theme. The final three stories are from the modern period, and all revolve around important political issues.
