Yizhong Street provides cultural storehouse of Yang Kui’s literary landscape

From 18 - 20 July, Yang Kui Culture & Education Association held an event sponsored by the Ministry of Culture to rekindle the literature of Yang Kui. The workshop, Thinking in the Humanities vs. Landscape Room, has now finished; however, in regards to the booming business district of Yizhong Street, few people are familiar with the fact that it was home to Yang Kui in the postwar period, as well as the place he farmed and put his ideas into practice. It is also the historical location where Yang Kui was arrested twice during the postwar period. 

The workshop included a rich selection of teachers, providing a full understanding of Yang Kui’s life. This included Yang Kui’s second son Yang Jian’s (楊建) personal account of growing up and Yang Kui’s granddaughter, Yang Cui (楊翠), who led the twenty-two participating students on a tour around the vicinity and to three particular spots with a special connection to Yang Kui. The workshop hoped to facilitate a better understanding of the land through Yang Kui's literary philosophy and social practice.

在七月十八日到七月二十日，由文化部贊助，楊逵文教協會主辦的楊逵文學再造：人文思想vs.地景空間工作坊，已經落幕，但對於一中商圈，繁榮的商業景象，大家所不熟知的是戰後初期時，這邊曾是楊逵居住、墾殖與實踐理念的重要根據地，也是戰後兩次被捕入獄的歷史現場。

工作坊中有著豐富師資，帶來滿滿認識楊逵的課程，其中更包含著楊逵次子楊建的親身經驗分享。並由楊逵孫女楊翠帶領著二十二位學員走訪附近與楊逵相關的三個地景，透過楊逵的文學理念及社會實踐，使參與學員能夠更認識這片土地。
