Chapter 19 17 Oral punishment (1993-58 years old to present)

I was originally like a diamond, a multi-faceted radiant figure, but due to the suppression of the environment, my aura was singled out and miniaturized.For example, most people only know that Li Ao is an expert in writing articles, but they don’t know that I am an expert in many aspects. My ability is not limited to writing articles, and my performance in other items is as good as writing articles.Among them, eloquence is not known to ordinary people.In fact, I am a very good talker, with humorous conversation, quick response, and flexible mind. I can resolve disputes with a few words, and of course I can make waves.I often feel that my eloquence is actually more moving than my writing.Unfortunately for the audience, my aura has been suppressed all the way.Take speeches as an example. No matter when I was receiving pre-officer training at the Army Infantry School or when I was a pre-officer platoon leader in the 17th Division, my speeches were immediately suppressed by the "officer" when there was thunderous applause; Chen Hongzheng and the others invited me to give a speech, and the National Taiwan University even locked the venue. In my letter to Shang Qin on May 4, 1965, there is this passage:

In the past few months, National Taiwan University students invited me to give speeches, but the school rejected them. As far as I know, there have been at least four times.The most recent time was today. The Faculty of Liberal Arts originally invited me to give a speech on the May 4th Movement tonight, but I was rejected because Yin Haiguang and Li Ao were not allowed to speak at National Taiwan University.Last time (March 26), the law school used the method of "evading customs and taxes" and invited me to give a speech on "Fu Sinian and Hu Shi" without first registering. Order to disband!

Judging from this situation, I was more "sealed" than someone who was "sealed".It was not until more than 20 years later that the situation of "being silenced" changed slightly.First, I was invited by Tsinghua University to give a speech. I gave a lecture on "Life and Death at Tsinghua University". The intervention of Xie Ruizhi and others; when I lectured "Furen Gods and Ghosts" at Furen University, there was a similar situation, except that the party stick was replaced by the god stick.In April 1989, the 40th anniversary of my coming to Taiwan, Su Rongquan and several publishing houses co-hosted the "Li Ao's 40th Anniversary Lecture in Taiwan".Shi Xingzhong presided over it, and it was considered a public speech outside the campus, but it was still suppressed on the venue. ——The ideal venue was not rented, only the small and small Gengshen Cultural and Educational Institute was rented. As a result, there were a lot of people, and there were more people outside the venue than in the venue, and even the podium was full of people.Speeches are advertised on:

I walk alone Over the past four hundred years, Taiwan has become a deformed, superficial, absurd, and delusional island under the influence of foreigners, outsiders, and natives.On this island, although Li Ao is not seen in the court and in the wild, his solitary spirit and the spirit of "I write by myself" are old and firm.The invitation to give a speech this time is to make a loud noise in the era when everyone speaks. After the speech, the book was signed and sold on the spot, and the book worth 500,000 yuan was sold out.When I was signing, Huang Juwen specially invited a plainclothes "Bao Piao" to secretly protect me.Ju Wen was our front-line commander-in-chief when we published non-Party books and periodicals, and he made great contributions to dealing with the police chief.That day was April 14, 1989. Diao Deshan and Li Guolong, who had not seen each other for many years, also came.Huang Dianhua, a senior student of the National Taiwan University Law School who hadn't seen him for many years, also came.He is a judge of the "Supreme Court". When we were at National Taiwan University, he showed us around the Taipei Prison. I always remember him.

After the speech, Su Rongquan made it into a videotape and audiotape of "Status of Witnessing Monsters in Forty Years" and sold it, which was very popular.In my article "After Mr. Lin Zhiping's Letter", I have such memories: Mr. Lin Zhiping also said in the letter: "I wanted to invite my brother to go with me that day, but he went to Japan to discuss business on the 13th. Later, I gave him the tape of your speech, and he also said: It is better to listen to your article than to read your article." the sound of." For forty years, because the Kuomintang has blocked my opportunities to speak and teach, I have been greatly restricted in my "speaking of words", so I have no practice or experience in my speeches at all.Once I give a speech, I can only move out and expand my daily speech—the dominant speech that makes "the group of alleys laugh and the four seats are happy together", just responding to the scene.My voice is too high and I speak too fast. The advantage is that it is refreshing, unlike the "slow-motion movie" like Jiang and his son's speech; the disadvantage is that the audience often can't keep up. Applause.An old friend, Professor Pan Yugang, called from the United States and said that after watching the video of my speech, he found out why there was so little applause?I said: first, I made the audience follow me quickly, and did not give them a chance to stop, and they had no time to applaud; second, half of my audience were enemies, and it would be difficult for them not to throw tomatoes. You still want them to applaud ?When Pan Yugang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.Mr. Lin Zhiping's younger brother said that listening to my speeches is worse than reading my articles. I think he is the one who can really discover my genius in this area.In speeches, my erudition and wit will be expressed "clearly and immediately". That kind of atmosphere and effect cannot be seen in my articles.

In terms of "understanding and immediate" performance, let me give a few examples.In one speech, an audience member asked me righteously: "You have been in Taiwan for 40 years. You grew up eating Taiwanese rice and drinking Taiwanese water. Why don't you speak Taiwanese? What is your mentality?" I answered "clearly and immediately". Said: "My mentality is the same as that of you who have come to Taiwan for 400 years and still can't speak the language of the Gaoshan people." Another time, the audience handed over the podium with notes and asked me questions. Without missing a beat, I suddenly hit a note with the words "Bastard" written on it, nothing else.I "understood and immediately" held up a note to the audience and said: "Others have asked questions but did not sign; this audience only signed their names and forgot to ask questions." Li can also resolve disputes and turn embarrassment into peace with a few words.

As the situation of "being silenced" is getting better and better, people from all walks of life invite me to give speeches one after another. Among them, Lu Xuehai's "Social University" is the most planned.Once he invited me to give a speech on the top floor of Pacific Sogo Department Store. Huang Hongcheng, a law student of Soochow University, went to listen. Huang Hongcheng has an unmatched ability of perseverance, which was finally facilitated by him alone.During this process, he recalled as follows: I have been a loyal reader of Li Ao's series since high school. My good friend Ruan Dengke knew that I admired Li Ao, so he introduced me to a lecture given by Mr. Aozhi held in Pacific Sogo Department Store. After listening to Mr. Li's wonderful After the speech, I made up my mind that I must get to know Mr. Li, so I used all my housekeeping skills to "deal with" Mr. Li, and I relied on "stalking". The "thick-skinned" spirit entangled Mr. Li, and then he encouraged himself with the motto "fate follows one's wishes". Mr. Li trusted me and established a considerable friendship.

At the same time, the "Biography of Johnson" written by Boswell has greatly moved and encouraged me. It compares Mr. Li to Dr. Johnson, and Boswell encourages himself. I am overwhelmed by the knowledge of Mr. Li. The deeper I get to know Mr. Li, the more I feel aggrieved by his fate. I don’t understand. Why don’t we notice? Why not promote "state-owned" generals?I feel that ignoring talents is burying talents. Although I am young and have limited abilities, if through the relationship with the principal, I may be able to create an opportunity to "raise talents for the country", that may not be known.I really shouldn't underestimate myself and underestimate myself, so the idea of ​​asking Mr. Li to teach in Soochow gradually took shape.In addition, according to our observation, it would be a very appropriate thing if Principal Xiaoci could take the initiative to invite Mr. Ao Zhi to teach in Soochow. As far as Soochow is concerned, there are precedents to follow, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with teaching. Personally, the "two origins" between Mr. Li and the principal are "long-standing", and the fact that President Xiaoci invited Mr. Li to teach has a deep meaning. .

Once the idea is determined, we will carry out this matter in two aspects. One is to facilitate the meeting between the principal and Mr. Li, and the other is to establish the Soap Box Club.Sometimes it is very interesting and intriguing to be caught between two big characters and do the needlework.Basically, our nature is a bit like an introducer, and a bit like a matchmaker. If we want to make the two parties hit it off, or even hit it off, it will take a lot of work and brains.First of all, we must let the two sides reach a consensus and focus - the consensus of the meeting and the focus of the meeting.Because only when there is a consensus in the meeting, can there be the focus of the meeting; only when the focus of the meeting is there is the possibility of teaching. Therefore, we sincerely hope that both sides can win face and win face.

So we carefully explored the wishes of both parties. On a chance occasion, I suddenly asked Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, if President Zhang comes to see you, will you embarrass him?" Mr. Li smiled Then he replied: "He is my guest here, how can I embarrass him?" After listening to Mr. Li's answer like a "guarantee letter", I was secretly happy, as if I saw the prospect of the meeting between the two. Chapter talks are half the battle. Next, we turned all our attention to Principal Xiaoci. Through many chats, we often talked about Mr. Ao Zhi to the principal. We felt that Mr. Li was very talented, but unfortunately he was buried all the time. Wouldn't it be great if you had the opportunity to invite Mr. Li to teach at the school?In the first few times, the principal always smiled and did not answer, and said noncommittally: "Research, study again." So we found a bunch of works by Mr. Li Ao, and let Li Ao's works speak for themselves. The latest work——, he finally couldn't help telling us: "In fact, when I was young, Li Ao's books had a profound influence on me, and I have many books written by Li Ao." But when we further suggested that he and Mr. Li As a friend, when we got to know each other, he started to smile again without answering, and looked at us noncommittally. At that time, we thought that the principal might be inconvenient, so we didn’t want to ask any more questions, but when he finished reading a book At that time, he once said to us: It's really well written!It is really a book of wit, Li Ao is really talented! "It can be seen from the principal's evaluation of Yishu and Mr. Li at that time.

On a light rainy afternoon in early March 1993, I saw the principal stepping out from the gate of the business school. Since the principal did not have an umbrella in his hand, he braved the wind and rain and walked towards the law school. The principal was holding an umbrella for him, and the principal smiled knowingly when he saw me holding the umbrella for him. I felt that the opportunity was not lost, so I smiled and reported to the principal: "Principal, let's find a chance to get to know Mr. Li! Meeting Mr. Li is Mr. Li's guest, and Mr. Li will never embarrass the principal. Principal, I am your student, you have to trust me!" The principal said confidently: "Mr. Li is a sensible scholar Why would you embarrass me? In fact, I respect him very much, so you can help me with a moment first, and then ask the secretary to contact me." After hearing the principal's straightforward answer, I ran to the basketball court. Walking around the field, seeing the demeanor of the principal as a corporal, and thinking of the success of the Zhang-Li meeting, I was ecstatic and joyful. The principal and Mr. Li met alone on March 26 at the Jinlan Building on Dunhua South Road. The principal prepared a set of baby clothes and a drawing board for children to play with, and gave them to Mr. Li's son as a gift. Mr. Li returned a book to the principal, and wrote a poem to the principal in the book. This poem reads: An island in the Taiwan Strait, the true source of Fahai, Xiaoci and I walked in front of everyone. When I was sending them off, I asked if I could take a photo as a souvenir, but the headmaster said it was inconvenient and gave up.Now that the principal is sick in bed, we have always regretted not being able to leave a picture of the two of them for memory.That night, the principal invited Mr. Li to Huxuzhang to eat Lu Roufan. Afterwards, both of them told me that it was a very pleasant gathering. Because of the success of this gathering, our confidence was greatly increased. Just around the corner. During this period, teacher Shi Qiping and many students from the Soap Box Club, like Chen Jingjie.Ruan Dengke, Qi Zuxie, Qiu Huiting, Qiu Huimin, Zhang Shuzhen, Hong Shurui...all gave us great help and encouragement.And Mr. Li was also invited by us to come to Soochow to give a speech. During the speech, he also went to the principal's office to chat and pay homage to the principal. He also sent a picture of Zhang Taiyan to the principal to express his gratitude for the principal's visit. So this "accidental" incident was completed under the headmaster Corporal Li Xian, Mr. Ao Zhi's self-indulgence, and our group of brats. As early as August 28, 1988, I wrote a short article in the "World Tribune"—"Teaching Zhang Xiaoci a Lesson" because it was rumored in the newspaper that Zhang Xiaoci was a university professor and became interested in practical politics. The article concludes: More than 20 years ago, at the home of Sima Xiao, deputy director of the U.S. Information Service, Ye Gongchao told me that he joined the KMT in the hope that he would save the KMT by stepping on the mud, but what happened?Not only did he fail to rescue the Kuomintang, but he trapped himself in it, and his words were full of regret.Zhang Xiaoci may think that he can get the shadow of his father when he comes out to engage in politics, but he should know that it is better to enjoy the cool by himself than to get the shadow of his ancestors.When Yuan Shikai died in ruins, his son Yuan Kewen made a living by selling calligraphy, devoted himself to Kunqu opera and landscape, and cultivated a scholarly atmosphere in the family. In the end, his third son Yuan Jialiu and his wife Wu Jianxiong both became physicists.Isn't this kind of honoring the ancestors more rewarding than engaging in actual politics? It shows that learning for the rest of your life is the best wisdom, and I hope Zhang Xiaoci encourages it.Four years later (March 26, 1993) Zhang Xiaoci came to my home and first said that he wanted to get to know me after reading a lesson I gave him, but failed for some reason.After he came to visit, he sent a message in the "China Times" on April 2, saying: I chatted with Li Ao recently, and he asked me if I dared to hire him to teach in Soochow. Frankly speaking, I was considering it carefully. Many people hate Li Ao because of their impressionistic objections. To accommodate all kinds of voices, when I was the dean of the law school, liberal Li Hongxi, Cai Dunming, Lin Shantian and the most conservative justices were all hired by me to teach. There are various schools of thought in the school, allowing students to choose freely , the university culture was enriched, and then I transferred to the dean, and they left one by one, which I feel a pity to think about now. On June 7th, Zhang Xiaoci invited me to have breakfast at the Howard Hotel, and decided that I would go to Soochow; 19 days later, the "Letter of Appointment from Soochow University" came, "Mr. At the end of June, I sent back the "Application Letter", and then filled in various forms. In the "Works Column" of the form, I filled in: "Too many to enumerate." "Some teachers reported that the number of classes was too large, which affected the quality of teaching. In the column "Willing of each teacher to limit the number of students in the class", I filled in: "Teaching well is not afraid of having too many students." In this way, I went to Soochow. Before going to Soochow, on May 4th, I gave a speech at the school headquarters. The title was "How to Oppose Zhang Xiaoci". The students put up posters and posted them all the way from the campus to outside the school gate. In the first class, I spent a lot of time cursing Zhang Xiaoci's grandfather and Zhang Xiaoci's father before getting into the main topic.Public opinion at home and abroad reported the grand occasion of my class, and "China Television Company" also broadcast it that night. On September 21, the US "World Journal" reported as follows: I went to Soochow University to teach and laugh at myself, this is my first formal job in more than ten years Li Aotu called Zhang Xiaoci "leading wolves into the house" [Exclusive interview with reporter Jian Yuyan from our newspaper] "Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo's policy towards me is to let the tiger go back to the mountain, and Zhang Xiaoci is to lead the wolf into the house." At the invitation of Zhang Xiaoci, the third-generation current president of the private Soochow University, he started teaching in the History Department of Soochow University today.Li Ao said that although he has a friendship with Zhang, if he talked about criticizing the Jiang family in class, Li Ao emphasized: "I will not spare him a word." Li Ao said that this was his first official job in the past ten years. He never thought that anyone would dare to hire him to teach at a university. What's more interesting is that it was Zhang Xiaoci, the president of Soochow with a special status, who came forward to "visit the thatched cottage three times".He said that at the age of fifty-eight, many people of the same age are about to retire from university teaching, and he just entered the university to teach, and he felt strange in his heart. Li Ao said that he admired Zhang Xiaoci's courage and tolerance.For example, he described Zhang Xiaoci as "good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo", and used a metaphor to say that Qin Hui's great-grandson Qin Ju was also a good minister who died fighting against gold.Hearing Li Ao's description, Zhang Xiaoci only asked back: Who is Qin Hui referring to?Then laugh it off.In addition, Li Ao was worried that he would be troubled by hiring him to teach in the church. Zhang Xiaoci also confessed frankly: After letting Li Ao come in to teach, there will be many troubles in the future. At that time, the headline of Taiwan's "United Daily News" "Li Ao Dongwu's lecture was full of seats and no special content was prepared, but he was fluent in eloquence"; It is even more proud to hire Li Ao to Soochow. As early as September 16, the American "Overseas Chinese News" published the headline "Zhang Xiaoci hired Li Ao to teach and decided to build Soochow into a university with humanistic spirit". It can be seen that The university of humanities and spirit in Zhang Xiaoci's heart is not unrelated to Li Aozhi's arrival.This was made clearer in the article "Criticism of Jiang's Writer Li Ao Dongwu Starts Classes - Zhang Xiaoci, a descendant of the Chiang family, led the wolf into the house" published by the Hong Kong "Open" magazine on October 1: Zhang Xiaoci pointed out that in the future, Soochow University will take promoting the humanistic spirit as its mission, and will never allow politics and business to interfere with the campus.Zhang Xiaoci said that it may take several generations for this kind of humanistic atmosphere to take root, but the first step is to hire Li Ao. It can be seen Li Ao's status in Zhang Xiaoci's eyes. On May 23, 1994, the United States "World Journal" published "Zhang Xiaoci Luocheng Talks about Life and Growth and Soochow University", and further saw his pride: In terms of "inclusiveness", Soochow University recently hired Li Ao as the school's history The matter of the specially-appointed teachers of the department fully illustrates Zhang Xiaoci's concept that "a university will be lively only when it is inclusive". It is also his specific practice of pursuing Soochow's "conservative style of work and free style of study".Talking about the process of inviting Li Ao to teach in Soochow, Zhang Xiaoci couldn't help smiling. He said that he was a student at the beginning and recommended Li Ao to teach in Soochow. After listening to the reasons given by the students, he felt that It made sense, so I went to visit Li Ao's house. After talking for several hours, the host and guest were happy, and Zhang Xiaoci also asked Li Ao to teach. Zhang Xiaoci said that in the end, Li Ao started a class in the history department of Soochow University, and his teaching method was very popular among students. The original scheduled class location was only an ordinary classroom that could accommodate fifty or sixty people. Later, when it was changed to a large classroom, it was still full. The popularity is evident. After returning to Taiwan from the United States, Zhang Xiaoci broadcast "The Spiritual Connotation of University Education" at the China Television Lecture on August 15, specifically pointing out: Last year, we hired Li Ao. Mr. Li came to teach at the school. There were many reports full of concern. How did Soochow University hire Li Ao?Li Ao is a controversial writer.Some people say he is a mad dog, some say he is a hooligan, some say he is a thug, some say he is a genius, there are all kinds of theories.We are very simple. We believe that scholars from any perspective can develop a point of view in Soochow, because this is a free market. Whether they can be accepted or not, they must go through the so-called market test. This is the most objective environment. , rather than certain people to determine whether it is good or bad, let him have the opportunity to put forward your academic opinions in school and university, if you are really unacceptable by everyone, the possible result is no Candidates choose courses!We often say: "The eyes of the people are discerning." I report to you that the eyes of the students are discerning. Which teacher is good and which teacher is not? Clearly.Let Mr. Li Aoli come to Soochow, whether you agree with him or not, then you are in class.Discuss with him academically and let the students make a choice. This is the academic life of a university. In order to continue and develop, it is indispensable to be inclusive. Three months after this speech (November 14), Zhang Xiaoci suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage in Beijing and fell into a coma ever since. On December 13, I wrote to Wang Qinglin, head of the Soochow History Department, saying: Huang Hongcheng, a high-achieving Dongwu student who had never met him before, suggested Qingyan, and the principal Huiyan personally invited him to visit him again, which enabled Li Ao to teach at a university when others were on the verge of retirement. To Dongwu, it is a demonstration of the free and humanistic style For Li Aoyan, he finally got the courtesy of someone who knows the goods, "Wu came to Wu on a cold rainy night", every time I think about it, I have mixed feelings.Recently, the principal got sick like this, and besides all kinds of tastes, the bitterness became more and more bitter. When he was thinking about doing his best, he had to send a special letter to the secretary office of Soochow University, which said, "Donations from colleagues in various units can be appointed to special personnel. Coordinating, transfer and transfer to households together", this letter is close-up, and I report three points: 1. Since I started teaching, my monthly salary has been directly remitted by the school to my special account at the post office. I have not changed it and planned to return it early. I am afraid that the principal will blame me for being hypocritical, so I temporarily put it away.Now the accumulated amount is NT$63,255. I propose all of them, and I will donate twice as much, totaling NT$126,510. Attached is the letter, please check . 2. In the future, the monthly salary will be accumulated until the end of the semester, and I will continue to handle it accordingly and return it doubled. 3. I am organizing an auction of Li Ao's private collection. If it succeeds, it will be a lot of money and help to the principal.I deeply feel the acquaintance between the principal and my death, so I would like to express my heart and chat with you. ... The auction I organized, Chen Zhongxiong introduced, was hosted by Heirloom Art Company Bai Shengsan, and it was held at Xinguang Art Museum on March 5, 1995, and the result was extremely successful. On April 5, "Central Daily" had this report: Fundraising for Zhang Xiaoci Completed distribution of proceeds from auction Li Ao donated 7 million yuan to Soochow University [Huang Fumei·Taipei] The tumultuous "fundraising for Zhang Xiaoci, President of Soochow University" auction came to a perfect conclusion yesterday.Writer Li Ao, who provided collections for charity sales, announced the distribution of auction proceeds yesterday. He donated 7 million yuan to Soochow University on the spot, and twice his teaching salary in 1993, 126,510 yuan. Huang Hongcheng, a student of Soochow Law who strongly recommends Li Ao to teach, accepts on behalf of him. The other 4,969,000 yuan will be used by Li Ao to rescue young prostitutes, promote the integration of 228 ethnic groups, and children's education funds. Li Ao said, "The success of the auction was not due to my own strength, but to the power of the masses. In this regard, he would first like to thank the 29 buyers for their great support, especially Mr. Zhang Cirang who bought Mr. Sun Yat-sen's calligraphy. Not only did he spend 3.2 million yuan on calligraphy, but he also donated 1 million yuan to help Principal Zhang on the spot. I heard that someone offered 6 million yuan to ask him to cut off his love, but he refused. It is really righteous. Accountant Huang Qiu Xiong donated another 500,000 yuan in addition to buying the characters, which is also impressive." The total hammer price of this auction was 11.02 million yuan, plus another 1.5 million yuan donated, and deducted The auction company's handling fee was 551,000 yuan, a total of 11,969,000 yuan. Li Aoyi agreed at the beginning to divide it into five purposes, of which 7 million will be donated to Soochow, and Soochow will decide on its own how to distribute Zhang Xiaoci's medical fund, the construction of girls' dormitories, and the promotion of Zhang Xiaoci's humanistic education philosophy.The other 4,969,000 yuan, which Li Ao decided to allocate on his own, will be used for the rescue of young prostitutes, the integration of 228 ethnic groups, and children's education funds.Li Ao also presented calligraphy to Zhang Cirang and Huang Qiuxiong on the spot to express his personal respect.Zhang Cirang later said that after the "Father of the Nation" calligraphy turmoil is over, he will donate the calligraphy to the "government" unit. It is not convenient for "Central Daily" to report, and there is another important item, that is, when I announced the donation of 7 million to Zhang Xiaoci at the press conference on April 4, I also published a joint article written by me and Wang Rongzu.I said impromptu: "Today is 20 years after Chiang Kai-shek's death. Others have forgotten his bad deeds, but I have not forgotten them. Therefore, 20 years later, Professor Wang Rongzu and I co-wrote this commentary. ——The seven million yuan I donated just now proves how much I, Li Ao, love Chiang Kai-shek’s grandson; the book now published proves how much I, Li Ao, hate Zhang Xiaoci’s grandfather. My Li Ao’s grievances and grievances are clear, in their grandson and grandson , just made a strong and sharp contrast!" Zhang Xiaoci died on February 24, 1996. I wrote a letter to his twin brother the next day. The full letter is as follows: Mr. Xiaoyan: I haven't answered your phone call a few months ago. Of course, you won't judge this matter as "disrespectful".Yesterday, "Lianhe Evening News" published the news that "Li Ao suggested that Xiaoci be buried in Soochow". I have asked Soochow student Huang Hongcheng (the student who suggested to Xiaoci that Soochow should invite Li Ao to the school) to convey it to the school. Due to the prevarication of bureaucracy, I propose to be buried in Guilin, and to be buried next to the Lingtang.I hope you will discuss this matter with Mrs. Shende politely, not based on political considerations.And please tell me: Cremation is the style of true Buddhists, and there are historical records for this.If you use the Jujin City Cemetery, it is definitely a bad policy, so please think twice.I have never attended weddings or funerals in my life.Mrs. Shende, please give my regards.please double safety Li Ao in the early morning of February 26, 1996 My suggestion was not adopted by Zhang Xiaoyan, a small bureaucrat. Zhang Xiaoci was finally "buried in Baishawan Anyuan, Sanzhi Township" after "Master Xingyun personally presided over the chanting ceremony". From his illness to his death, I did not go to see him he. ——In my own way, I miss this friend who is six years younger than me. When I was teaching in Soochow, I left a letter to Zhang Xiaoci: Brother Xiaoci: When I came back from get out of class yesterday, I learned that my brother was personally invited to participate in the Soochow Concert. I apologize for not being able to go, ashamed.Call back this morning, it's suitable for my brother to go out, and I would like to ask Miss Secretary to be on your behalf.A few days ago, Zhou Yukou described my brother's trip to Guilin to me, and it sounded moving.This lady spared no effort in going to the poor and falling to the underworld. Unfortunately, the training of historical methods is a little poor, so her work is called "reportage literature".Inspired by my brother, Jingyi University also came with an invitation letter and a letter of appointment, but I finally declined. My brother has generously invited Li Ao to come to Soochow, and there are already many newspapers on the island.There are also many overseas newspapers.Attached are photocopies of clippers from overseas friends, just for a laugh. The most interesting thing is that "Oriental News" said that Li Ao "talks and behaves like a beast": Behave like a beast Of course, I am not here to accuse Zhang Xiaoci of being indistinguishable from grievances and grievances, and not knowing right from wrong. He can open his mind, tolerate dissidents, and forget grudges.But to accommodate people like Li Ao too much, in addition to giving people the impression of bullying the good and fearing the evil, it also gives people the feeling of forehead. For Zhang Xiaoci and his predecessors, this is not worth the candle. Just as Li Ao himself said, Zhang Xiaoci's invitation to teach him is exactly what led the wolf into the house.It is enough to see that my brother does not distinguish between animals and animals, so go to Mencius to punish Yang Moyuan!National Taiwan University recently investigated the philosophy department incident. I wrote a letter to Chen Weizhao. The copy is attached, which shows that I am very angry. When I came to Soochow, I walked alone in the back mountains and through the library alone. The joy of mountains and academics is unknown to others.When I was enjoying myself alone, I thought that the great river would go east and the old man would enter Wu. This is all due to Zhang Xiaoci's unconventional "leading wolves".Under snickering, can't help yearning.this question Hello Principal Xiaoci Li Ao October 27, 1993 Huang Hongcheng will go to serve in the military next week and will return in a year. Zhang Xiaoci still didn't give up after receiving the letter, and called to invite him personally, but I still refused.The real reason why I don't attend the concert is that I don't go to the "Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall", but I don't want to hurt his heart, so I don't say the reason. This is why I am principled and careful.Just like when Zhang Xiaoci came to my house, I invited my mother to play in the street in advance. ——Because he lost his mother since he was a child, I don't want him to see my old mother, so as not to make him feel sad.The older I get, the harder it is to make friends, but once I become my friend, I always make friends in a very old-fashioned and old-fashioned way. I also appreciate the old-fashioned style of "the affection is stronger than the old ones" who are older than me.My good friends Brother Shi Ke, Chen Zhaoji, Jiang Shufan, Yuan Fengyu, etc. all belong to this category.My fellow countryman, Jikenzhepaizhiyou, and old friend Han Zhaoxian also belong to this category.Li Shizhen often said to people: "Don't think that Li Ao is a 'new guy', from him, you can see more morality than us!" I think Li Shizhen's observation angle is an intriguing one.I was attending class in Soochow, and Zhang Quanzeng, who was an observer, retired from the navy and was tireless in learning, saluted my disciple who held the "old morality". I said, "Brother Quanzeng, you are the same age as me, don't call me that." , is admirably old-school.I have been more worried for a long time, and once said: "If you don't make new friends, you won't make up old friends when there is a vacancy."Once I met with Zhang Guangjin at Cheng Guoqiang’s house, Guangjin complained: “We are best friends in No. 1 Middle School, why haven’t you seen anyone for 20 or 30 years?” I said, “Guangjin, the last time I saw you, were you Major; now you are lieutenant general. If I see you too much as a problem character, will you still be promoted to lieutenant general?” Zhang Xiaoci is my new friend,——“friend who has three meals” (that is, he invited me After eating two meals, Ye Mingxun is kind to others, for He Xiaoci’s relationship with my Soochow, I invite everyone to have a meal), the two are not close friends, but he has courage and tolerance, and he has superhuman vision, no one dares to invite him Li Ao's arrival in Soochow enabled me to start a great cause of verbal criticism other than writing. When he unfortunately died of "Zhi" (vegetative) in public, donating money and helping him, isn't it just what a chivalrous and tender man should do Why?On the other hand, Qin Xiaoyi, who considered himself a friend of Zhang Xiaoci, did not see that he had donated a dollar, but instead came out to disrupt the situation, talking about the authenticity of the auction items. Naturally, I sued this kind of stuff in court.In order for him to fabricate history and corrupt the style of study, I specially corrected it with a thesis. I planned to publish the Journal of Soochow History. The head of the department, Wang Qinglin, agreed to publish the original text first, but asked me to delete and criticize the Qin text, which was rejected by me. Back to the thesis, on the one hand, I conducted a questionnaire survey to the teachers in the department. On February 13, 1995, I wrote to each of them: Soochow University originally had a historical style of study in support of freedom of speech, as evidenced by the fact that Zhang Taiyan, a former master of Chinese studies in the "Su Reporting Case", was invited by Soochow to give lectures.Although this style of study has been wiped out by the Kuomintang for decades.Principal Zhang invited Li Ao to come to Soochow, and he never denied that he took Li Ao as a model and was sincere in heart.Now it happened that Qin Xiaoyi, the disciple and grandson of Chiang Kai-shek, set up a ban on the Internet to clamp down on Article 11 of the "Constitution".The freedom of lectures, writings and publications is really a disgrace to Soochow University, a disgrace to the history department of Soochow University, and a shame to the teachers of the history department who use "straight pen" to teach students and encourage themselves with "straight pen" all day long! In order to prevent the teachers in the department from being in vain, I wrote this letter and mailed it by registered mail, asking for a reply on whether to intervene in the matter of "deleting Li Ao's criticism of Qin Xiaoyi", so as to make statistics and announce the names.At that time, those who intervene can show that they are aboveboard and dare to act; those who do not intervene can prove that the matter has nothing to do with them and is clear. Such a questionnaire will be approved. The questionnaire was closed at the end of February, and the results are as follows: Jiang Wuxiong, Lin Cishu, He Wanqian.Thirteen Huang Zhaoqiang, Guan Lingling, Liu Jingzhen, Li Nianying, Wang Zhizhi, Liao Boyuan, Zhou Jian, Zhang Yanxian, Zhan Sujuan, and Zhang Zhongxun all bravely signed to express "not intervening" or "objecting to deletion", while Cai Xuehai, Yu Yuti, Gan Huaizhen, Hu Ling Lan, He Yongcheng, Liu Jiakui, Cai Meifen, Weng Tongwen, and Chen Qingxiang still have not returned their files until two days after the deadline.In the reply, only Wang Qinglin agreed to delete it.Whoever has no freedom of speech, lectures, writing, and publishing in Article 11 of the "Constitution", self-destructs his position, and is willing to escort Qin Xiaoyi, has been ready to come out since then. This incident, together with the death of Zhang Xiaoci and other reasons, made me feel less interested in coaching Soochow.After I decided to teach for three years, it came to an end. On March 21, 1996, two days before my birthday in the lunar calendar: the new head of the department, Huang Zhaoqiang, came to wish me a birthday card: Professor Li Ao my brother: Thank you for your great love for Soochow over the years, and thank you for your hard work in educating the students of the History Department. On the occasion of my brother's birthday, I would like to present a thin slice to express my congratulations and thanks. Late Huang Zhaoqiang March 21, 1996 As I thanked him, I told him in passing that I would no longer be teaching after the term was over. On May 21, 1996, I finished my last class in Soochow.东吴三年，发现其他方面优异的有之，但有治学潜力的学生不多，陈正凡（陈复）、陈敬介较出色。倒是旁听的学生好学有成：王裕民、陈境圳都有很好的治学潜力。其他张琳、郑国洋。林祥福、陈奎翰、黄玉娟、庄惠雯等也都使我印象深刻。 章孝慈请我去东吴时，海内外新闻媒体颇多报道，1993年10月回日，《联合晚报》有记者黄靖雅的《孤独的狼重新啸傲江湖？》一篇，文题最令人侧目。同月21日，吉隆坡《南洋商报》改题《李敖重新啸傲江湖？》刊出。大体说来，我到东吴后，文字之业减少了，声音之业增多了，也就是从幕后的笔伐时期进入前台的口诛时期了，在口诛时期啸傲江湖，已经变成我一生的主调。口诛要讲台，东吴的讲台是闭路的，若论开放的讲台，则非电视莫属。而台湾电视最初掌握在国民党台视、中视、华视三台手中，偶有邀请，所谈局限饮食男女，无从一抒怀抱，直到解严后，媒体稍加开放，三台以外的有线业者才有一点生存空间，在群雄并起，形成“五胡十六国”局面里，才有一点李敖的笑傲空间。电视界老手杨楚光首先判定：“李敖个人秀”绝对有它的可能性。后来TVBS邱复生约我试录，试录以后，他大概吃不消我对国民党当道的批评，而这种当道，正是他刻意交好的对象，所以计划就吹了。台大老同学陈安澜约我做了一阵批蒋介石的录像带，但传播方式限于“跑带子”结果有疾而终。1995年春天，真相新闻网的周荃约我吃饭，谈“李敖个人秀”的可能性；到了夏天，周荃又约来她的老师张煦华同我谈，张煦华以美国密苏里大学新闻学院博士、淡江大学传播研究所和大众传播系主任的专家身分，也看好我这节目；到了冬天，经崔家瑞和董兹中（介强）同我商谈细节，做最后敲定，10月20日，由真相新闻网代表人即执行副总李吴曈与我签约，当天约来记者们共餐观礼。但李吴曈该打，签约后只给我一张支票。第二天一早，他就收到这样一封信： 吴曈执座： 昨午承赏饭，快慰平生。依贵我双方合约第五条第二款，明订“其余费用”由“甲方开具”“期票”，既云“期票”，自系未到期之支票先行“开具”交付乙方之意，且据草约原议，亦属如此，此由崔姊、小董二位可证。昨天饭后，承蒙下周一开具交付，至感德便，幸勿遗忘。如有遗忘，乙方届时必然在进棚后忘尽所有台词，口中但喃喃以“还我支票”为念，或许举牌抗议、或许坐地撒赖、或许高呼“TVBS万岁”虽不按第八条第九款告你们，但其恐怖有甚于告。合作伊始，伏望贵我双方均守约定，则双方幸甚。昨午我即席说：“今晚TVBS请我上'台北夜未眠'现场节目，我一定插播我给真相新闻网'李敖笑傲江湖'广告。”果然我说话算话，昨晚播出，TVBS方面大吃一惊，向我抗议，我奚落他们小气八拉，他们始哑口无言。匆匆奉闻，即请大安 李敖1995年10月21日 照双方约定的重点是： 一、节目名称：《李敖笑傲江湖》。 二、播出时间：自1995年10月30日起，每周一至周五，每日播出三十分钟，共二百六十集。 三、播出时段：每日二十二时至二十二时三十分。 四、甲方（真相新闻网）如不得乙方（李敖）同意片面删改节目，乙方得要求甲方每集赔偿新台币叁拾万元。 五、乙方于合约期间非经甲方书面同意，不得在其他电子媒体任何频道任何节目担任主持人。 六、唯乙方同意，除非甲方未履行支付乙方主持费用或删改乙方节目，乙方自不能以任何理由或任何原因向甲方提出告诉。 很明显的，我剥夺了他们的删改权，取得了百分之百的言论自由，除非他们不怕罚钱；相对的，他们剥夺了我的好讼权，取得了百分之百的“免于恐惧的自由”。结局可谓皆不满意但均可接受。 《李敖笑傲江湖》自开播后，立刻震惊岛内和海外，自人类发明电视以来，从没领教过节目是这样干法的：——一世之雄，一手包办，一袭红衣，一成不变，一言九鼎，一座称善，一针见血，一厢情愿，一板三眼，一唱三叹。……总之，任何认为一个人做不了的节目，都被我一个人做到了。这节目打破了并违反了电视制作原理，撇开一切动态与精致，单刀直入，以证据入眼、以口舌开心，开电视得未曾有之奇，说它乃千古一绝，也不为过。玩电视的专家邓育昆以六页长信给“敖哥”指摘这节目制作方面的失败，但却掩不住对内容方面成功的欣喜。总之，这是电视开天辟地以来又一次的开天辟地，以博学、勇气、口才三结合，闯出了一片新天地。今年旧历除夕，陈文酋打电话来聊天，说邱复生告诉她：“如李敖年轻一点、言论缓和一点，李敖将通吃所有谈话性节目，没人是对手。”我告诉陈文茜：“邱复生错了，我就这么老、就这么激烈，就足以通吃了，这位李登辉的朋友，站在商业观点，他一定后悔对我不守信了。” 《李敖笑傲江湖》播出一年后，又由周基妹妹周菲出面，双方再续约一年。至今已播出近四百集，目前仍在继续中，被盗录的已远及美国等地，一般咸认这是唯一说真话揭真相的保悍节目，天下只有李敖方能为之。这个节目的成功，使我的口诛时期进入新境界。我最感谢周荃的眼光与度量，她在那么艰苦的处境中，对外为我撑住自李登辉以下的各种压力、对内任我“客大欺行”、由她苦撑待变，她真了不起。传说真相新闻网是新党的电视台，完全不确。周氏姊妹以宽容的心胸维系真相与自由，与新党毫不相干。有观众写信说新党花大钱收买了我，这种观众既不了解新党，也不了解李敖，混蛋极了。 《李敖笑傲江湖》的最大特色是：它不以空口骂人，而是以证据骂人。骂人威风所至，最后演变成不被李敖骂，就对李敖感激了；若被李敖捧一下，那就感激涕零了。陈文茜向我开玩笑说：“我们民进党不怕你骂而怕你得了老年痴呆症，你骂人凭证据，我们如该骂，被你凭证据骂了也就算了，不过你已建立起骂人的信用，一旦你老年痴呆了，不凭证据骂我们，甚至造我们谣，别人听了信以为真，我们就惨了。”——古话说“人无远见，必有近忧”，陈文酋有近见远忧如此，“惨”乎哉？不“惨”也！
