Abstract |
This paper is the study of the life story of the Puyuma elder, BaLiwakes (Chinese name Lu Sen-Bao). Taking different perspectives and time periods into account, including indigenous community (tribe), Japanese colonial rule, the ROC regime, and Catholic faith, this paper aims to understand the formation of his personality, the transition that his people experienced, and the historical destiny that his people faced. Meanwhile, this paper tries to fill the century-old blank in the history of Taiwan’s spiritual development by analyzing BaLiwakes’s personal life experience, and to propel the study of Taiwan’s aboriginal literatures to the period of Japanese colonial rule. |
