Chen Qian-Wu (1922-2012), aka Huan-Fu, was a poet, novelist, and translator. He wrote in Japanese prior to and during the Second World War. After Japan’s defeat and Taiwan’s handover to the Republic of China, Chen learned modern Chinese and re-entered Taiwan’s literary world in 1958. Renowned as a poet, Chen was a charter member of Taiwan’s Li (Bamboo Hat) Poetry Society and, later in his career, translated many Japanese poems into Chinese and vice versa. Hunting Captive Women is his best-known work of fiction, and one chapter was transcribed into the musical Angel of the Tropics.
