> ... As far as his insistence that Taiwan literature should be written in
> Hokkien, Tu says that this is simply "another chauvinism." Tu takes this
> further to say "what we call Taiwanese should include Mandarin, Hakka
> and even Aboriginal languages as well as Hokkien."
> 
> For Tu, the final arbitrator of literature is quality, and it really
> doesn't matter which of the Taiwanese languages are used. "I respect
> people who are trying to create a Hokkien literature, and if they can
> produce a book like Dream of the Red Chamber then many people will refer
> to it as the bible of Hokkien literature. If such a great writer did
> emerge in Hokkien, he or she could open up a new tradition within
> Taiwanese literature. But this is easier said than done."...
