He Feipeng When I was a teenager, I had no chance to know Li Ao, so I could only secretly read his writings, feeling that Li Ao seemed to subvert the education received in all schools. Li Ao, who was known at that time, was a maverick National Taiwan University student in long robes. He was knowledgeable enough to communicate and debate with the master Hu Shi. He was undoubtedly a future hero in his dreams. This future hero did not become a contemporary master, thinker, writer, or historian recognized by the system as I imagined when I was young (I was young, and I had a high degree of awe of the system, of course, Li Ao is undoubtedly a hero outside the system), then There are only intermittent impressions: entangled with "Wen Xing" in constant lawsuits, quit the arena to sell beef noodles, became a thought criminal and went to jail, returned to the arena after being released from prison, married and divorced the famous woman Hu Yinmeng, continued to speak out, and fought with those in power Struggle, run "Qiu Shi Bao", run the newspaper with the strength of one person, and the output of its words, as a reporter, I admire from the bottom of my heart.

These far-sighted (before I had no chance to know each other) fragments are strung together to form an imagination of Li Ao—a contemporary person with "supernatural powers": he is well-read and has a huge pen like a rafter; Kitsch; many friends, many enemies, many girlfriends.What is certain is that the life of this contemporary strange man is definitely colorful and full of twists and turns.Orgasms.A story of love and hatred. By accident, I changed from a reporter to a publisher, and by accident, I became the publisher of Li Ao's works. From, "You Don't Know Peng Mingmin", "You Don't Know the Darkness of Justice", several consecutive books The publication made my impression of Li Ao gradually come alive from fragments viewed from a distance.

And the past few years have happened to be the stage in which Taiwan has undergone the greatest changes: from the post-Chiang Ching-kuo era to Lee Teng-hui's monopoly of power, from the KMT's one-party dominance to the three-party struggle, from a prosperous and stable society to chaos.Dangerous, Li Ao at this stage actually has not many works (compared to the number before), but he uses another form to attack Taiwanese society and fight against those in power. The TV program "Li Ao's Smiling Proud Jianghu" made Li Ao's stage change from flat to three-dimensional, from academic and political circles to the general public. Of course, some fragmented news, such as winning an insurance claim case of more than 200 million yuan on behalf of a friend, held Li Ao's collection At antique auctions, from time to time, he scolded President Lee Teng-hui and celebrities from all walks of life and fields. Li Ao is still an out-and-out strange person.

In all fairness, the new electronic media has created a brand new Li Ao, so that people who identify with Li Ao can fully contact Li Ao every day.It is a pity that whether it is the thinker Li Ao, the historian Li Ao or the "greatest vernacular writer" Li Ao, modern young readers, unless they are particularly caring, may not have the chance to know the traditional side of Li Ao. Whether it is the new Li Ao or the traditional Li Ao, the same thing is: Li Ao who is entangled with the entire Taiwanese society and has nothing to do with him.We might say that the political figures Chiang and his sons, Lee Teng-hui and his like used their ubiquitous power to stir up Taiwanese society, but only when they were in power.However, in the past few decades, Li Ao has fought against the regime, interacted with history, stirred up society, and participated in changes by himself!

Think about it, if Taiwan society did not have Li Ao, wouldn't political speech be full of lies and dogma?If there is no Li Ao, Taiwan after 1960 will have the expectation of a master figure leading the coquettish, is it hopeless?Without Li Ao, the Taiwanese people's hatred and resentment towards the judicial system would never be relieved! (Li Ao won the lawsuit for himself, and of course also vented the public's dissatisfaction with the darkness of the judiciary.) Without Li Ao, wouldn't Taiwan's shameless politicians do whatever they want?Without Li Ao, Taiwanese society would definitely be much boring. Li Ao is already an important part of Taiwanese society!

Li Ao also has more unique little places, which are worthy of the public to have a look: Li Ao's collection of books is comparable to Taiwan's library; Can prove everything, close to impeccable; Li Ao cursed famous people all over the world, but he was safe and sound, and has his own philosophy of cursing; Li Ao never left Taiwan, because he is a person who truly loves Taiwan; Dare not say, all these are fascinating! "Whether you like Li Ao or not, and whether you agree with his words or not, the ups and downs of Li Ao's life are definitely worth exploring by Taiwanese." .

Therefore, since a few years ago, I have always hoped that Li Ao could organize his life memories into a book. Now, on the eve of Mr. Li Ao's 62nd birthday, he finally got his wish. I look forward to sharing the legendary story of his life with everyone who wants to know Li Ao! After all, people who think they know Li Ao have only touched the four elephant legs, but who can really understand the grievances and hatreds of this Li Aoqi who claims that "life begins at eighty years". On the eve of the publication of the book, Li Ao was hospitalized for surgery due to illness, and he was still working hard to write the manuscript while lying on the hospital bed. With such dedication, Li Ao affirmed that this book is his masterpiece.

Li Ao never invites anyone to write a preface when publishing a book, and now he is so kind to write a foreword. Scalp made a preface to this article, and hoped not to become Li Ao's defendant because of the inappropriateness of this article.
