From Hong Kong to Singapore and Malaysia:A Study of Chen Yingzhen's Third World View of Literature as a "Chronotope"
From the 1960s to the 1970s,Hong Kong provided Chen Yingzhen with a space for publication and public opinion support.Later it further served as a gateway for his exploration into the Chinese mainland.In the early 1980s,Chen's novels Cloud and Generals were adapted into Hong Kong's theater and film productions.During the same period,his works gained recognition in literary supplements in Singapore and Malaysia,where he was invited to serve as a judge for the Chinese literature prize.Interactions with Malaysian students in Taiwan region also led to his involvement in the field of Malaysian Chinese literary criticism.By using the southern region as a resource and a method,Chen aimed to construct an open public field of world Chinese literature,challenging the dominance of Western narratives shaped by the postwar transnational capitalist economic system.Through his engagement in the literary development system of the"South"and his theoretical contribution to Third World Literature,Chen Yingzhen became a cultural resource himself.
