	Bai Xianyong: Lifelong Devotee of Kunqu Opera
		Through combining modern western writing skills of modern western literature and traditional Chinese expressions, Bai portrays the stories and lives of those people in a transitional period; hence his literary works are filled with historical ups and downs as well as the vicissitudes of life.
		Bai took fancy to Kunqu opera when he was still a small boy, and his novel Waking From a Dream (You Yuan Jing Meng) is an inspiration from Peony Pavilion.
		However, Bai Xianyong's literary works, his interests and hobbies, his language, and his thoughts are all inseparable from Guilin, his birthplace.

	What is the Place of the Asian Diaspora
		There are several ways in which this immigration imaginary should revise the existing discourse of modem Chinese studies.
		(Both of these frameworks are operative in the analysis of "overseas" literature.) Immigrant literature deconstructs these existing framework portraying the "other side" of modern life (Bai Xianyong's "One Day in Pleasantville" comes to mind) and by deploying other "signs" (such as race and sexuality) into the East-West configuration.
		Yet, to take location of writing as the key classification element is no less problematic, since that would render Bai Xianyong's "Taibei people, " a seminal work of post- 1949 Taiwan literature, not a work of Taiwan literature at all, and imply that leaving China means ceasing to be Chinese.
