Xiandai Wenxue (Chinese: 現代文學; literally "Modern Literature") was a Taiwanese literary journal created in 1960. The journal was published on a bimonthly basis. The journal was the brainchild of several National Taiwan University students, including Ouyang Tzu and Pai Hsien-yung. The journal published the literary debuts of several prominent Taiwanese writers, and emulated the modernist style that was becoming fashionable in Taiwanese literature during the late-1950s and 1960s. In 1973 the journal ended publication. References Leo Ou-fan Lee. Shanghai Modern: The Flowering of a New Urban Culture in China, 1930-1945.
