SUMMARY:My Life in an Indigenous Village
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Harvard-Yenching Institute\, and co-sponsored 
 with the Harvard University Asia Center\, the Fairbank Center for Chinese 
 Studies\, and the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia\n\nSince 
 Lung Yingtai relocated to an indigenous village in eastern Taiwan three ye
 ars ago\, she sought to comprehend the elements that comprise her life\, i
 ncluding the journey of her daily water supply from the mountain’s depth
 s to her garden pond. Furthermore\, she regularly encounters cobras\, wild
  boars and crab-eating mongooses\, prompting her to examine the impact of 
 cultural as well as environmental "encroachment" on the wildlife and peopl
 e residing in the untouched forest.\n\nAbout the speaker: Lung Yingtai is 
 a writer\, literary critic and public intellectual. Lung not only has a la
 rge number of devoted readers in her native Taiwan\, but her works also ha
 ve great influence in the Chinese-language world in Singapore\, Malaysia\,
  China\, and North America. Lung entered public service as Taipei City Gov

 ugural Minister of Culture from 2012-2014. She is author of more than two 
 dozen books\, including essays\, fiction\, reportage\, and literary critic

  honest and introspective look at the social and political problems facing
  contemporary Taiwan society. Big River\, Big Sea: Untold Stories of 1949\
 , published in 2009\, became a must-read in greater China despite that it
