During the early stages of its development, Taiwan's New Literature was intimately connected with realism.The year 2022 is the one-hundredth anniversary of fiction writing in Taiwan, and also the one-hundredth anniversary of modernist literature in the English-speaking world. For the former, this is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Chui Feng's "Where Will She Go?" For the latter, it is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of James Joyce's (1882-1941) novel Ulysses, and Anglo-American writer T. S. Eliot's (1888-1965) poem The Waste Land. When the Alphabet Lab was first established, it also paid tribute to the contribution of modernism in the development of post-war Taiwan literature. In this special fiftieth issue on "Taiwan Fiction and 'Realism, '" we once again identify and trace out the pathways and objectives of Taiwan's writer apostles over the past one-hundred years.
