筆者認為，臺北是在一邊朝島內最大都市更新的進程中，一邊飛躍性地成為日本帝國境內的東亞節點都市；而讓滿洲事變進入民眾生活領域，亦即把滿洲內在化，便是這進程中的重要環節。本文從《臺灣日日新報》上的滿洲事變、滿洲事變周年記念日活動報導入手，觀察與臺灣關係微薄的滿洲事變如何成為臺灣人日常生活訊息乃至身體經驗的一部分。接著，探討林煇焜怎樣將滿洲事變背景化，以輕描淡寫的方式將它匿置於《命運難違》此一臺灣首部長篇都市小說之最底層。最後，比對這部報紙連載小說與《臺灣新民報》社論的共同點，指出作者透由時事描寫和報紙社論議題進行暗合的意圖。在事變報導／都市書寫／殖民政策批判的關聯性中，總結這種敘事模式隱含的潛話語。

In the 1930s, Taipei was in the process of carrying out the largest urban renewal project in Taiwan, and rapidly becoming an important location in the Japanese empire. Meanwhile, making the Manchurian Incident part of people’s lives, an thus internalizing Manchuria, was an important part of this process. This study begins with various reports on the Manchurian Incident and the memorial events on its anniversary in the Taiwan Daily Newspaper, observing how the incident, which was only slightly related to Taiwan, became part of local people’s lives. It also explores how Lin Huikun turned the Manchurian Incident into part of the background of Inviolable Destiny, Taiwan’s first long work of urban fiction. Finally, by comparing the common points in this serialized story that appeared in a newspaper and the editorials in the Taiwan New People Newspaper, this study examines the writer’s attempt to implicitly consider the issues discussed in the editorials through the description of current events in this novel. This study then examines the implicit latent discourse in this mode of narrative through the relations among reports of the Manchurian Incident, urban writing, and critiques of colonial policy.
