Abstract
LI,TONG，LAI,XI-AN was born in Hualian in 1953 and died of cancer in Yilan in 2004. Li Tong was a writer who wrote with his life in seeking for warmth. His works are so full of life power with sympathy that every reader who touches his works can feel that life can be so interesting and the young mind can be so wide. Although the writer has been away from us, we can meet with him again through his manuscript. Under the pen name Li Tong, the Taiwanese pronunciation of children, he created one world with the thought of "having a warm view of all things in the world while enjoying all kinds of pleasant joys and bitter sorrows". It is by such deed that he called upon the people on this land and their heart and soul.
The paper begins with the introduction of Li Tong's life, writing philosophy and Taiwan's nature writing background and studies the development of Taiwan's nature writing. It analyzes the theme and content of Li Tong's natural writing, his works through the theory of nature writing, and the texts through the presentation of his writing concept, literary critics and descriptions of his friends and families. The paper focuses on novel analysis and explores the nature writing in Li Tong’s novels. The structure is as follows: Chapter 1, introduction, Chapter 2, Li Tong’s writing concept and Taiwan’s trend of nature writing, Chapter 3, theme of nature writing in Li Tong’s novels, Chapter 4, the educational implications of nature writing in Li Tong’s novels, Chapter 5, artistic characteristics of nature writing in Li Tong’s novels, and Chapter 6, conclusion.
This paper comes to the conclusion as follows. Through reading the text of Li Tong's novels and exploring the nature writing with the theme of ecological conservation, climatic environment, humanities and local features, the natural issues and cultural implications concerned by Li Tong are learned and Taiwan-related ecological, natural and humanistic characteristics are grasped. Li Tong’s novels reveal the relations between human and nature and educational implications of respecting life and valuing resources. The story-telling mode of nature writing makes the nature writing feature in the novel more distinctive and different from the general nature writing of other essays. This study also allows teachers to guide children to understand the natural flora and fauna through the text, stimulating children’s learning motivation, and then further leading the children into the natural environment with the story text combined with life experience in the hope that children can respect life and care about natural ecology.
