Chapter 47 "I went from Beijing to Taiwan, and I didn't feel like leaving my home"

On April 19, 2000, more than a month after the release of the white paper on the "Taiwan Question" by the Chinese government, Yu Keli and his party visited Taiwan at the invitation of the National Relations Center of National Chengchi University. "Yu Keli Disturbance". Before coming to Taiwan this time, Yu Keli visited Taiwan twice in May 1983 and November 1995. In October 1999, the Guoguan Center of National Chengchi University in Taiwan sent an invitation to Yu Keli and decided on the next year's itinerary.Since Yu Keli is the main drafter of the white paper "The One-China Principle and the Taiwan Issue" and is regarded as an important think tank for the central government's work on Taiwan, and this trip coincides with the transition of Taiwan's leaders, it has attracted much attention and has become a The focus of media interviews.

Facing the relentless pursuit of Taiwanese reporters, Yu Keli made a speech on cross-strait relations.He said that the current development of cross-strait relations is stuck in the attitude of Taiwan's new leader to the "one China" principle.If Chen Shui-bian accepts the one-China principle, any issue between the two sides of the strait can be discussed, and the future of the two sides is also bright, including the "three links" and economic and trade exchanges. But if the one-China principle is not accepted, the prospects for cross-strait relations are not optimistic .

Yu Keli said that the mainland's "one China" principle is very clear, and it is also elaborated in the "Taiwan Issue" white paper, "No matter how Taiwan's leaders change, the mainland will not change this basic principle; Hundreds of millions of people and the vast majority of people in Taiwan will also support the direction of cross-strait reunification." He believes that Beijing's "peaceful reunification" policy toward Taiwan in 1979 was based on the "one-China principle" that Jiang and his sons adhered to during the Kuomintang period; One China" policy.

Yu Keli put forward two expectations for Chen Shui-bian's due statement: 1. As the new leader of Taiwan, he should publicly say that he is Chinese. So far, Chen Shui-bian has never heard of it; 2. There is only one China, and Taiwan is China. part.He emphasized that these two are "basic points" and we must have an attitude. Otherwise, if we only talk about improving cross-strait relations, but avoid the basic principles and premise of developing cross-strait relations, the effect will be limited. Yu Keli's statement of the central government's "one China" principle was regarded as a tough attitude by Taiwan's "Taiwan independence" media.On the second day of the conversation, the content of Yu Keli's conversation was published on the front page headlines of three evening newspapers in Taiwan.Afterwards, Taiwan's "Legislative Yuan", politicians, newspapers and public opinion began to besiege Yu Keli.

"Vice President" Lu Xiulian viciously cursed Yu Keli's speech that Taiwan's new leader should identify himself as "Chinese" through the Taiwan media as "presumptuous", and insisted that if mainland China insists that one China is the People's Republic of China, then Taiwan Of course people are not Chinese, but Chinese. She accused the mainland central government of saying that it would "listen to Chen Shui-bian's words and observe his deeds", but it was actually a smokescreen. Intelligence showed that China had strengthened its military deployment in the southeastern coastal areas. At the same time, nine important Chinese leaders visited more than 20 countries. country, turning the Taiwan issue into an international issue.

At the same time, Hu Zhiqiang, spokesman of the Kuomintang, said that Yu Keli’s speech in Taiwan was completely like “the world is my home”; Free and open, but regarding "Mr. Yu's recent behavior in our place, we feel that being a guest should have the way of being a guest." Some media and individuals who support "Taiwan independence" also slammed Yu Keli, and even used his name to make a big fuss, saying that he was called "Keli", but he did not know how to "restrain" himself and return to "ritual". Like a shrew swearing at the street, it is suggested that the authorities issue an expulsion order for him.

A cartoon published in a newspaper with "Taiwan independence" tendencies, with the debate between Yu Keli and Lu Xiulian as the subject matter.In the painting, an angry Lu Xiulian pointed at Yu Keli who had been vilified into a wild beast with a gaping mouth and said, "China's 'calling beast' (professor) is here!" Yu Keli is not a high-ranking official in the mainland, but a scholar. Many people are deeply puzzled that he has been bombarded and viciously attacked because he just stated the central government's principles and positions on cross-strait relations in Taiwan.

However, sources revealed that the unfair treatment of mainland scholar Yu Keli in Taiwan was related to Lu Xiulian's grievances with the mainland. Lu Xiulian is the founder of Taiwan's "New Feminism". In 1969, she went to the University of Illinois in the United States to study comparative law and received a master's degree.After returning to Taiwan, he served as the section chief of the "Commission of Laws and Regulations of the Executive Yuan", and later became a columnist for "China Times" and "Taiwan Times", and the president of Pioneer Publishing House; he once set up "protect you" special lines in Kaohsiung and Taipei, advocating the protection of women Rights and interests, shaping the image of "new women". In 1979, she served as the vice president of "Beautiful Island" magazine and became a key figure in the non-party movement. She was arrested for the "Kaohsiung Incident" and sentenced to 12 years in prison. She was released on parole in 1985. In September 1991, she served as the head of the "Taiwan's Joining the United Nations Propaganda Group", and in December 1992 was elected as a "legislator".He has written works such as "New Feminism", "Where the New Women Go", "Counting the Footsteps of the Pioneers", "Help Him Win the Sunshine". In 2000, he became Chen Shui-bian's partner as "Vice President". He is a diehard who insists on "Taiwan independence".

During her campaign for the leadership of Taiwan, Lu Xiulian uttered nonsense in a Hong Kong media, openly claiming that Taiwan and the mainland are so-called "distant relatives and close neighbors", "in terms of blood, historically distant relatives" and "geographically close neighbors". After being bombarded by Chinese people in the mainland and around the world, newspapers such as People's Daily and Liberation Army Daily published articles criticizing Lu Toulian's "Taiwan independence" remarks. She has always held a grudge and is full of hostility towards the mainland.

Yu Keli also disclosed the details in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Taiwan's "China Times".In fact, the "verbal dispute between Yu Keli and Lu Xiulian" that Lin Zhongbin called was not provoked by Yu Keli. When Yu Keli was still in Beijing, Lu Xiulian asked Yu Keli to criticize her on the mainland media through Taiwan TV media. Apology; as soon as Yu Keli arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan Airport, a Taiwanese reporter asked him if he wanted to apologize to Lu Xiulian.Yu Keli said that mainland media criticized Lu Xiulian because of her "Taiwan independence" remarks, and she is still promoting "Taiwan independence", and it is unreasonable to ask him to apologize.So Lu Xiulian scolded Yu Keli as "presumptuous" in the media the next day, "She is still a guest in Taiwan, but she is criticized for engaging in 'Taiwan independence'".Yu Keli said angrily: "I have to apologize before I arrive in Taiwan. Is this the way of hospitality?"

Yu Keli criticized Lin Zhongbin's slander against him in Taiwan, pointing out that Lin Zhongbin, as the vice chairman of the "Mainland Affairs Council", should know that Lu Xiulian provoked the dispute, and should not blindly please the new leader of Taiwan, otherwise, as described by Taiwan scholars "Watermelon on the big side".He believes that he became the target of media follow-up interviews in Taiwan, mainly caused by Lu Xiulian.The "Mainland Affairs Commission", which is Taiwan's mainland policy authority, also intentionally politicized his brief visit, seriously interfering with his academic activities in Taiwan. Regarding Hu Zhiqiang, a member of the Kuomintang, who criticized him for "don't think that the world is my home", Yu Keli responded unequivocally: "I went from Beijing to Taiwan, just like traveling from Beijing to Guangdong and Fujian. I didn't feel that I was not at home. Didn't feel like leaving my own home." In fact, during Yu Keli’s visit to Taiwan, he felt the deep affection of his compatriots. He, Director He Siyin, Deputy Director Wu Zhaoxie, and several researchers of the Center for International Relations of National Chengchi University of Taiwan discussed the cross-strait situation after Taiwan’s general election and the direction of mainland policy after Chen Shui-bian’s election. , held a closed-door discussion; met with relevant personnel of the People First Party, and also called on Liang Surong, chairman of the Taiwan Peace Reunification Council.Not only the reception unit warmly entertained him, but the general public was also very friendly to him. Even so, this academic event turned into a spat due to the pan-politicization of Taiwanese politicians.Yu Keli could only express regret. A journalist in Singapore who followed up on the "Yu Keli Incident" said that Yu Keli's talk on cross-strait relations was actually a response to reporters' repeated questioning from the beginning to the end, and he did not actively express his opinions; let's talk about Yu's remarks It has always been the scope of adhering to the mainland's "one China principle" policy towards Taiwan, which is the consistent position of the mainland.In the face of the intricate cross-strait issues, it is never a good thing to be emotional. Since the guest has come and expressed his position, as the host, why not express his position calmly and fully communicate with him.As for Lu Xiulian, as a Kuomintang legislator said, there is nothing wrong with Yu Keli speaking from his original position, but Lu Xiulian used the title of "Vice President" to "swear" at a mainland guest, for fear that others would not understand what it means "The shrew scolds the street".
