The nativist writer, Yeh Shih-Tao, was an important literary master in Taiwan. With the premise of Taiwan consciousness, he wrote A History of Taiwan Literature to lay the foundation for our literature. During his writing career spanning over sixty years, he went through the Japanese Colonial Period and was once imprisoned during White Terror and barely survived.
While telling his life stories, the documentary depicts how the Taiwanese writers have been struggling to overcome adversity for the past hundred years.

葉石濤的創傷與創作反映出一個島嶼戒嚴與解嚴的歷史。葉石濤提出台灣文學主體性的根來自土地與生命力。從影片中看見人權從一個人不放棄土地跟人民中長出來。
“I’m praying God to give me the ability to collect the life stories and literary works of our nativist writers in Taiwan systematically and compile our own history of the nativist literature.” This is the ambitious goal that Yeh Shih-tao set in his article The Nativist Literature in Taiwan. Facing his twenty-three complete literary works before I began to make this documentary, I also tried to pray God to give me the ability to collect Mr. Yeh’s life stories and literary works systematically and make a comprehensive and all-inclusive film.
