Renowned Taiwanese writer
Yeh Shih-tao praised him as "the most internationally acclaimed writer of the Japanese rule period". His works seamlessly blend elements of
realism,

Chou Fên-ling (周芬伶) explained Lung Ying-tsung's linguistic dilemma in the book
The Biography of Lung Ying-tsun (龍瑛宗傳) as follows: "The transition of colonial identity and language, being a non-automatic or passive 'other,' forces one to undergo a dark period akin to death, and this period can be quite prolonged. Some manage to endure it and experience rebirth, while others who cannot endure it become 'remnants' of the previous era, which is another form of demise." == References ==
