description Adaptation studies have often been centered on the transposition of literary works into plays and movies. More specifically, filmic adaptations of novels have been explored extensively, as proven, among other things, by the existence of wellestablished scholarly journals such as The Journal of Adaptation Studies published by the Association of Adaptation Studies or the long-standing Literature/Film Quarterly. However, comparatively little research has been carried out in the f ield of graphic adaptations of literary texts. The studies focusing on how works of literature - mostly classics - have "migrated" to the ninth art deal, for the most part, with either Western comics or Japanese manga. By focusing on the graphic adaptation of a Sinophone short story, this contribution aims at filling this research gap. It centers on Ruan Guang-min's recent manhua version (2023) of "Tsıt kuáinn tshìn-á" ("The Steelyard"), a seminal short story by Lōa Hô, hailed the father of modern Taiwanese literature, first published almost a century ago (1926).
