My film review on Mei-Juin Chen's (2017) movie The Gangster's Daughter (林北小舞) has been published in Asian Ethnicity. The Gangster’s Daughter (2017) is a Taiwanese film directed by Mei-Juin Chen. As a documentary director, in her interview1, Chen expressed her proposition that she did not tend to clearly distinguish a documentary and a drama film. The Gangster’s Daughter is therefore a gangster film where Chen aims, through the underbelly of society as a microcosm, to explore political, economic and social issues the whole society faces. The whole society is supposed to be the geopolitics between Taiwan and Kinmen.

Kinmen and MeI served my military service in Kinmen as an English teaching assistant from 2017 to 2018. During this year, I wrote articles on Kinmen for the Taipei-based media UDN Opinion. My book written in Chinese about the identity politics in Kinmen is in press. |
