520			_aThe essays collected in this volume represent revisions or rewritings of papers originally presented at the 2nd International Conference on the Commonwealth of Chinese Literature in Southeast Asia held in Singapore on August 15-19, 1988. The conference was organized jointly by Goethe-institut Singapore and Singapore Association of Writers. In addition to the papers presented at the conference, we have also included three papers from elsewhere to make the coverage of the subject more complete. Wong Yoon Wah's "The Origins and Development of Singapore Chinese Literature" are drawn from the papers presented at the first conference held in Gunzburg, Federal Republic of Germany, in 1986. Ba Er's article "The Development of Thai Chinese Literature and the Relationship with Chinese Literature in China" is included because the speaker who proposed to write a paper on the Chinese literature in Thailand was absent at the conference. It is our hope that this book will lead to an appreciation of Chinese literature in Southeast Asia in this region as well as other parts of the world. It is also hoped that these papers will act as a stimulus for major works across the wide and varied spectrum of Southeast Asian Chinese literature. --Preface of the book
