After Japan ceded sovereignty over Taiwan post World War Two, the Nationalists from China took over control of Taiwan and shaped its government and identity. The Japanese assimilation influences that lingered among the Taiwanese elites became a backdrop to the rise of violence, such as that seen in the 2-28 Incident and White Terror, and to a Taiwanese nationalistic discourse such as that seen in the hsiang- t'u literature, a genre of Taiwanese literature from the Taiwanese Literature Movement that emphasized a distinct Taiwanese culture, sent clashing native Taiwanese and Nationalists for the struggle of power and identity. In this thesis, the research question is how Taiwan's unique and contested identities are represented in A City of Sadness and Good Men Good Women of Hou Hsiao-Hsien's films and how they reflect the development of Taiwan's multi-complex identity from hsiang-t'u literature to the Taiwanese New Wave. In methodology, what will be examined is 1) the external historical context of the films and subject matter of the 2-28 Incident of 1947, hsiang-t'u literature, and New Wave Movement with 2) the internal analysis of languages, gender topics, memory, narrative structures, and Hou's auteur style. This thesis analyzes how these factors of cinema and identity are interconnected with the Taiwanese social and political environment and nationhood, which have prompted Taiwanese citizens to seek a liberalization of politics and culture after martial law was abolished in 1987. Hou's movies illustrate that Taiwan's identity could no longer be described as the binary oppositions from the nationalistic discourse in hsiang-t'u literature, but as an ever-changing multidimensional flow of cultures and nations seen in gender and heteroglossia across the new global order.
