Heart Lock is Taiwanese writer Gloria Liang-Hui Kuo’s work. It was initially serialized in the Human Realm supplement of Credit Investigation Newspaper in 1962 and later published by Da Ye Bookstore in September of the same year. The intricacies of romantic entanglements between men and women, as well as the incestuous relations among relatives inside the plot, garnered criticism from female writers. Consequently, the work faced a ban until its reemergence in 1986, when it was reintroduced as a film adaptation under the same title. This controversy also led to Kuo’s banishment from two renowned literary associations at that time.
