Before going to China When he was about to graduate, Wang Baiyuan took a cross-dressing photo with several Taipei Normal University classmates. Wang Baiyuan dressed up as a woman in a suit, one classmate dressed up as Chaplin, and another as a fortune teller; as for Xie Chunmu and other classmates, they "wore a pair of Taiwanese clothes, holding a bicycle in both hands, doing As he was about to set off, there was a sign on the back of the car that read "Promote Taiwan's Culture." A classmate was in front of him pretending to be Japanese and standing there refusing to let him go. The same was true for the front of the car. A sign was hung that read, "No, just wait a little longer!" "The words".Wang Baiyuan/author, "My Memoirs," "Wang Baiyuan: The Thorny Road" (Volume 2) (Published by Changhua County Cultural Center, June 1995), pp. 254~255.
When Xie Chunmu was studying at Taipei Normal School, he often read "Taiwan Youth" (the official journal of the New People's Association), which schools in Taiwan banned then. He was a sympathetic supporter of the magazine and an active member of the secret circulation of this publication in the school. In 1921, Xie Chunmu graduated from Taipei Normal University with first-place honors and accepted a scholarship from the Government-General's Bureau of Culture and Education to study at Tokyo Normal University. However, after he came to Japan, he became a critic of Japanese colonial rule. In 1922, Xie Chunmu published a short story "Where Will She Go? To Troubled Young Sisters" in "Taiwan" under the pen name "Zhui Feng." Scholars later regarded this work as one of the most critical chapters in the history of Taiwanese literature. It is a significant work of vernacular fiction. After that, Xie Chunmu successively published his comments on Taiwan's colonial authorities' education, law, agricultural and industrial movements, and other issues in publications such as "Taiwan," "Taiwan People's Daily," and "Taiwan Xinmin Daily."Liu Shuqin/author, "Literary Activities and Cultural Struggles of Taiwanese Youth in Japan," Lianjing Publishing House, 2009, pp. 29~30.
During Hsieh's stay in Japan, he actively participated in various overseas activities of the Taiwanese Cultural Association, as well as studying and writing. He also participated in the Cultural Association's Summer Cultural Lecture Group for International Students in Tokyo. He returned to Taiwan for promotion in the three years from 1923 to 1925. According to research by Taiwanese literature and history scholar He Yilin, the titles and contents of Xie Chunmu's first two speeches back home include: "Generalization of Education," Scientific Attitude and Daily Life," Characteristics of Modern Education," Personalization of Education" and socialization" etc. Later, Xie Chunmu served as a secretary of the Tokyo Youth Association and Petition Movement for establishing a Taiwanese Parliament.Liu Shuqin/author, "Literary Activities and Cultural Struggles of Taiwanese Youth in Japan," Lianjing Publishing House, 2009, pp. 39~40.
During his stay in Japan, Xie Chunmu slept and ate together with Wang Baiyuan. The two often talked about the fate of Taiwanese people upstairs in their apartment until dawn. In 1931, Wang Baiyuan published the Japanese poetry collection "The Way of Thorns" (Chinese translation as "The Way of Thorns"). Xie Chunmu wrote a remarkable preface for Wang Baiyuan, explaining his friendship with Wang Baiyuan, Wang Baiyuan's ideological changes, and revealing his love for Japan. Dissatisfaction with assimilation policies and educational methods. This preface by Xie Chunmu was affirmed by Wang Baiyuan and was translated into Chinese by Wang Baiyuan many years later.Source of information: Wang Baiyuan/author, "My Memoirs," "Wang Baiyuan: The Thorny Road" (Volume 2) (Published by Changhua County Cultural Center, June 1995), page 256.
The "Erlin Incident" broke out in October 1925. This peasant movement gave Xie Chunmu a considerable shock because the location of the conflict between police and civilians on October 22 happened to be in the sugar cane field of Xie Chunmu's relatives, and many of those arrested were his Relatives and friends (for example friend Li Yingzhang). Xie Chunmu gave up his studies to support the peasant movement and returned to Taiwan to join the rescue team. After returning to Taiwan, Xie Chunmu worked in the Taipei branch of the Taiwan People's Daily, actively participated in the booming agricultural and industrial movement at that time, and participated in the activities of the Taiwan Cultural Association. In July 1927, Chiang Weishui established the Taiwan People's Party, with Hsieh Chun-mu serving as its first secretary-general. In August 1930, he and Huang Baichengzhi jointly served as editors of "Flood".The correct name of the newspaper should be "Flood," not "Flood News." His political stance gradually shifted to the left, and he paid attention to the survival rights of Taiwan's peasants and workers. This was related to his concern for cultural enlightenment, educational reform, and the petition movement to establish Taiwan's parliament when he was studying abroad. Different.Liu Shuqin/author, "Literary Activities and Cultural Struggles of Taiwanese Youth in Japan", Lianjing Publishing House, 2009, pp. 45~46.
Because Xie Chunmu was actively engaged in politics and the agricultural and industrial movement from when he returned to Taiwan to his move to Shanghai in December 1931, Xie Chunmu became a target of surveillance by the Japanese special police. This was also true from when he moved to China to the end of the Sino-Japanese War.Liu Shuqin/author, "Literary Activities and Cultural Struggles of Taiwanese Youth in Japan," Lianjing Publishing House, 2009, page 46.

Xie Chunmu once told Lan Min, a Taiwanese female student who went to Chongqing: "If China wins in the future, it will not be the world of the Kuomintang, but the world of the Communist Party." He also hoped that she would go to Yan'an.Source: Oral History Editorial Committee/Editor of the Institute of Modern History, Academia Sinica, "The Experience of Taiwanese Going to the Mainland During the Japanese Occupation", Taipei: Institute of Modern History, Academia Sinica, June 1994, p. 35.
