The annual distributed income from this endowment will be allocated by the Chinese subject area to support the Editor (anthology of creative and/or academic works) in funding the creation, publication, and launch of an anthology featuring creative and/or academic works in Chinese, alternately every two years. The anthology of creative works will include, but is not limited to, creative writing submissions of NTU students, faculty members, lecturers, staff and alumni, written exclusively in Chinese, with a collection of collective works.
