On May 19, Taiwanese author Yang Shuang-tzu and translator Jin Ling won the International Booker Prize for the novel 'Taiwan Manyou Lu.' In an interview in London, Yang stated the award is a collective milestone for Taiwan's literary community and called on Taiwanese creators to 'come out in droves' to show the world their diverse voices. She believes being 'Taiwanese' is defined by a will to live together and a consciousness of a shared destiny.
