Abstract
As a representative of Taiwan's pastoral literature writers, CHEN Yingzhen, with a compassionate style and unique insight, focuses on and portrays the living conditions and spiritual state of the common people in his work "The General's Clan". The novel reveals rural characters' vigorous and resilient attitude as well as rural society's backwardness and decadence through details such as movements, expressions and postures. Images like doves and the moon symbolize the beauty of life and the goodness of human nature. The tragic ending in a comic atmosphere makes the novel's narrative more compelling. The use of contrast between the present and the past serves as a unique narrative structure, unveiling the subtle relationship between the uncertain history and personal fate. With a strong sense of patriotism, Chen depicts Taiwanese living conditions in the countryside and their spiritual attitudes.
