Tamkang University, a young man, Li Shuangze, as with many young people in Taiwan, Taiwan can not be found in 1970 on behalf of China, and increasingly by the international push to the edge, and loneliness in the sense of crisis, young people began to view themselves : Why we are taught to love the Yangtze River since childhood, love of the Yellow River, the great praise of the Great Wall - it was all my eyes have never seen, never stepped foot in the land, and I live in Tamsui side, how to never sing Tamsui, how we do not know the name of the river hill inside the village?

1975, I, 23 years old, to the United States to study, soak in the library every day from 8 am to midnight at home stepping on snow light, in addition to have the opportunity to read outside of school work Some modern Chinese history book, read the first part of the civil war, the first to know when the 1927 killing of the party cleared, before we know the education received before so many lies are being manipulated, this is a big shock . 10 years after writing
1979 years, my personal Dream of China shrouded in Taiwan, we talk about In other words, no one asked, Lung Ying-tai Where are you, my answer is, of course: mainland has opened up, and I finally saw the first time in New York, a real In this historic occasion, it was directed at him ask, What? Hunan
I would not say so, have not been to Hunan, Hunan ignorant fellow standing in front of me at once to speak out. This is a lifetime dream of China that there suddenly took me ignorant, this is a very large in 1979, the shock - the original, ah, I am Taiwanese.
dreaming together, along with class
Begonia leaves from the dream of Greater China and slowly transition to the foot of the earth the people of Taiwan a little dream of Taiwan, the people in the late 70s early 80s began to ask . 80 years later, more than two thousand million people of Taiwan toward the transformation of self-feeling is getting smaller and smaller, what are step by step, little by little to do. Therefore, Taiwan people together from a small dream big dreams slowly on the way to go, and started with 80 years of democracy on a large class. This democracy must have a hard enough on the course.
December 10, 1979, the KMT to take mass arrest of opponents, a large trial. Face enormous challenges, the KMT decided to open trial, this is a photo on the courtroom (see Figure ②):
you know any one person? The second row showing a row of white teeth and smile, is Shih Ming-teh, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. The right hand side of the woman is a Shih Chen Chu, Kaohsiung mayor today, the left hand side is Annette Lu, the term of
I want this picture to express the people of Taiwan 80 foot mud slowly rebuilding process of dreams and hopes. If the development of the past 30 years cut out of a time slice of view, just to see a complete course, this picture to represent. This plan, there are three kinds of people, the first one is guilty of rebellion, including Shih, Lu, Chen Chu, and so, they both were sentenced to 12 years in prison; the second is a hero in that era of terror, dare to do these political prisoners defense lawyers, including Chen, Frank Hsieh, Su Tseng-chang, etc.; The third category is those in power, when the From these names you will see that the slices in 30 years, the political prisoners became ruler, rulers become opponents at a time when people have to do and expect applause, as a registered trade mark of moral heroes who into what? Some of them become completely bankrupt of moral corruption suspects.
this change go far enough? Audition witnessed such a painful process, you might of Taiwan's democracy so-called It is all the , falls itself is a test. So, let me say this: Taiwan's democracy, the surface is torn Taiwan
very serious, but do not be fooled by the surface. Back to base the values on the point of view, the former Chinese dream slowly abandoned, and gradually developed into Taiwan's small dream, and then together is very difficult, painful lesson of democracy, however, whether Taiwan is a blue green, in fact, a very strong consensus, such as:
countries will lie;
those in power will corrupt;
opponents will degenerate;
oppression of political power is not the only source of capital may also be the same oppression.
but because of the erosion of power everywhere, so the rights of individuals, such as freedom of speech is everyone anytime, anywhere, couch dispute every inch, no concessions.
This is the consensus of most Taiwanese. You can see the controversy, arguing, The foundation, based on common values established. I have a Chinese dream up
?
back to the theme of dreams in China today, there may be many Taiwanese people would jump up, said: China is not my dream, my dream is not China. However, if you have to ask Lung Chinese dream, I will first ask you the China Dream, If you say Do not say this beautiful land is my beloved father, the mother is always home, the place of good and bad, for so much influence in Taiwan, the place of blessing and misfortune will affect the future of the entire human community, how do I China would not dream of it? Today is August
Army, that we have from the I'd be happy to see China's rise, but I hope it is the power to the rise of civilization.
how to measure culture? I would like to share with you my own ruler to measure civilization. It is not too difficult. To see the degree of civilization of a city, to see how the city treated its mentally ill, it is the service for the disabled to achieve what extent, its widows and the needy of care to what extent, I think the city how to deal with the so-called jobless workers, For me, this is a very specific scale of civilization.
civilization of a country where, I see how to treat immigrants in this country, how to treat its minorities. I observed the majority of this country how to deal with its minority.
Who cares about At least I do not care. I care about is what I have said the scale of civilization - how you treat you this great nation with a small number of vulnerable, how do you accommodate different views, this, is I care about.
My father was 15 years old, with a pole and two baskets and went to the train station in Hunan Hengshan buying vegetables, ready to pick back to the mountains. Happened to the KMT military police recruit students teams to do this and the moment a decision: he put down the pole to go along with the army. My father was born in 1919, 2004, I was holding my father's ashes back home in Hunan Institute of Shangougou Dragon Mountain, the villagers lit firecrackers to welcome the home all the way to seven years, back and forth from home life home In the Family Sacrificial Rites, I heard a most ancient state of Chu elders accent with weeping singing the elegy. I have endured the tears, then could bear. Chu accent makes me more deeply aware of how his life my father was forced out of his own culture, living life of involuntary exile. Has been holding his ashes back to the land, I was deeply conscious of the ashes came back after seven years of experience of how juvenile the modern history of China. I grew up in Zhejiang Xinan River's mother, is how to miss the piece of life, see the fish of the river clear.
So please believe me on the sincere hope of China. I deeply hope to see is a scale used to test their own civilization in China, so China, because the self-confidence, so open; because of the open, so inclusive; because of acceptance, so it forces more flexible and more long term. When it is the power of civilization, when the long-term flexibility, it will have the whole human peace a key contribution.
