Chapter 10 09 Triple into Taiwan

Taiwan used to be the land closest to the mainland but the farthest. As far as I can remember, apart from "I love Beijing Tiananmen", almost one of the first few revolutionary slogans I learned included the phrase "We must liberate Taiwan", and I hardly know where most of the provinces on the map look like. Now, I know where Taiwan is and what it looks like; of course, I have always felt sorry for my Taiwan compatriots, and they are probably living a miserable life in the "white terror". Therefore, the impulse to liberate Taiwan has become the childhood of several generations of mainlanders. memory.

It is also against this background that for a long time, before the People's Liberation Army "liberated Taiwan", it never occurred to me that it was possible for me to go to Taiwan, and not once or twice. The opportunity came suddenly. In the spring of 2001, I was informed that I was going to Taiwan. Since the end of the 1980s, Taiwan's ban has been lifted. In addition to veterans returning to their hometowns to visit relatives, non-governmental exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have also increased, including exchanges between the top ten outstanding youths on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.Because I was selected as one of the top ten outstanding youths in the mainland in the first year, I became a member of the delegation of the Mainland Youth Federation to Taiwan. This delegation was led by the then chairman of the Youth Federation, Hu Chunhua. Waiting for more than ten people.

However, this visit does not seem to be the right time. In the first year, Taiwan's political situation changed. The Kuomintang's decades-long rule in Taiwan was overthrown, and the DPP's Chen Shui-bian came to power. The already sensitive cross-strait relations became more troublesome.Under such circumstances, when we arrive in Taiwan, how should we get along with others?What should I do if I see a sensitive flag or slogan?Do you want to get up and leave or make serious negotiations when you hear unsound or even "reactionary" words?All these have become the necessary obstacles and challenges for the "first time".

This is a picture I took when I first went to Taiwan. The small lake behind me thought it was the entrance of Sun Moon Lake, but I didn’t expect it to be the famous Sun Moon Lake itself!It's better to miss it than to meet each other. After that, I never went there again.However, if you haven't been there before, would you not go?What's more, the attraction of Sun Moon Lake to mainlanders has nothing to do with its size. tension and strangeness The first trip is destined to be long. We will first gather in Shenzhen, then enter Hong Kong, and then fly to Taipei. But what is longer than the geographical distance is the psychological distance.

In Shenzhen, everyone held a pre-departure preparation meeting. It was nothing more than what to say and do, what discipline to observe, and what to do in special situations.This meeting aggravated the tension in my heart. It should have been a pleasant trip, but because the destination was Taiwan, I felt a heavy sense of sadness. The plane landed at Taipei Taoyuan Airport, and the heartbeat began to accelerate. How will Taiwan, this mysterious land that makes people tense, unfold in front of us one by one? The person who received us was the New Party in Taiwan. The convener of the New Party at that time was a fast-talking elder sister Xie Qida. Later, she lived in the mainland for a long time because of a lawsuit.However, when we arrived, it was at a time when both she and the new party wanted to make a difference and were therefore in high spirits.

The first impression of Taiwan, to tell the truth: so-so. In mainland China in 2001, the development has entered the fast lane, especially the construction of hardware such as airports and roads, which is even more generous. In comparison, the prestigious Taoyuan Airport is far behind.It is estimated that mainlanders will whisper: "Don't talk about Beijing and Shanghai, the airports of ordinary cities are better than here..." After leaving the airport, take the expressway, the road is not wide and the car is not fast, and you can't find the feeling of taking off to Taiwan.

However, with the deepening of the visit, Taiwan's big and small gradually emerged. Going to Sun Moon Lake may be the homework that every mainlander must do after arriving in Taiwan, but I made a joke there.After the boat left the shore for a while, I asked, "Where is the entrance to enter Sun Moon Lake?" The escort told me, "This is it." After driving for a while, we will enter through a certain entrance, and then the big Sun Moon Lake will appear in front of us.Unexpectedly, the small lake that I thought was the entrance was Sun Moon Lake itself. Go to Caoshan to look for traces of Chiang Kai-shek, and go to the alleys to visit the charm of Zhang Daqian. The places are not big, at least not as big as imagined, but they are all small and exquisite.In such a scene, Taiwan began to bid farewell to imagination in its mind, and gradually became real.

I believe that every mainlander, after arriving in Taiwan, will have such a process of fighting against his own imagination. Politics and a Bowl of Wine However, Taiwan at that time was in a state of exuberant political enthusiasm, and everyone seemed to be a participant. Turn on the TV in Taiwan, and at 90 o'clock in the evening, famous people from all walks of life are "participating in and discussing politics" on the screen.In small Taiwan, at least a dozen TV channels are doing this at this time, so it is impossible for you not to be disturbed by politics. Watching TV in Taiwan, go to two extremes.In the news and current affairs programs, there are either overwhelming news about people's livelihood, parents' short stories, and they are everywhere. They are fresh and lively at the beginning, but after a few days of watching, problems and depression can be seen.In Taiwan, due to various special reasons, there is almost no international news. You search desperately, but you can't find a few in a day, which makes you think that the world, excluding Taiwan itself, is at most as big as the Chinese world.One reason for saying this is that there were already many mainland news on Taiwan's screens at that time.

In addition, it is talk show politics, where the whole people speak, freedom, chaos, excitement, and "show" are mixed in it, which makes people feel emotional. As for entertainment programs, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, because most of them can be cloned or copied in mainland China, so we don't waste time in Taiwan. This kind of political enthusiasm at that time was very normal. After all, Taiwan’s political scene had just changed, and every ordinary person felt that he was also involved in history. When they came to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo were the two names that couldn’t be avoided. However, the third generation of the Chiang family was mostly unfortunate. A Taiwanese Feng Shui master said that it was because both Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo were buried in temporary cemeteries, and they could not be buried in peace. due to.Under the photo of the two Jiangs, the person being interviewed is Jiang Xiaoyan, the only member of the "Jiang" family in the third generation.However, he has just changed his surname from "Zhang" to "Jiang" not long ago, and he is an important figure in promoting direct flights between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

For those of us who are first-timers, apart from being new, there is sometimes a little irritation, even a sting. One day on the street, I suddenly saw a parade marching swaggeringly. It turned out that they were angrily denouncing Chiang Kai-shek and his son. Naturally not adapted.The strange thing is this incompatibility, why for decades, we all hated and scolded Chiang Kai-shek, but when we saw this scene on the street, we had the urge to fight for Chiang and his son.Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it seems that after turning another page in history, in the face of a big issue in China, our relationship with the Jiang family has undergone subtle changes, but we didn't know it at the time, a few years later , The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have come together again.

Compared with this scene on the street, the more exciting thing is yet to come. There are many things in life that are scary when imagined, but the fear disappears when it comes to the actual situation. This was the case for the first trip to Taiwan. Before leaving, I was worried about this and that, but after arriving in Taiwan, the communication between people will resolve all these.As the host, we often know the difficulties of the guests, and will take care of the guests intentionally to avoid embarrassment. We have basically never encountered the various scenes that we were worried about; and as the guests, we also gradually get rid of unnecessary sensitivity. We also laughed off the sensitive words blurted out by the hosts.Face it with ease, and some difficulties are easily resolved. It is precisely because of this change that there is a special dinner for the last meal before the return journey. On the first night back, in Kaohsiung, the organizer gave us a farewell party with wine.At the scene, apart from us, some local young talents and relevant people were also invited. We chatted at the wine table, everyone had fun, and found that there were more than ten people at our table, and there were members of five parties on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. We are the Communist Party, and Taiwan has the Kuomintang, the People First Party, the New Party, and the Democratic Progressive Party. A fantastic combination that I had never thought of before. After drinking on the N tour, I don’t know who proposed: In the end, a “bipartisan confrontation” was launched. A young congressman from the Democratic Progressive Party was on one side, and the other four parties elected me as their representative. They took out a bottle of Jinmen sorghum, We poured two large bowls, and the people next to us were excited and encouraged me. This DPP congressman and I had no choice but to fulfill our mission and drink a large bowl each. Ten minutes later, the other party was unconscious in the lobby a few steps outside the door. I insisted on talking until the end, and fell asleep when I returned to the room. I was the winner. This has become a topic that we must talk about every time we get together. I have always been curious: Why do these four parties on both sides of the Taiwan Strait become one group, while the DPP becomes another group?Is this a subconscious "political" decision, or is it a drunken behavior? So far, I have no answer. However, it was in this bowl of wine that I ended my first trip to Taiwan, as well as my imagination of Taiwan and my sensitivity to distance. When I said goodbye, I had new expectations: When will I come back as a reporter? Only one year after we bid farewell to Taiwan, we had our first cooperation with Taiwanese media, and this time the cooperation was triggered by a disaster. In 2002, China Airlines crashed. When the plane crash happened, I was a producer of "Time and Space Connection". This is news, and we naturally have to follow it. At that time, my partner Liu Aimin chased after him to Dongsen TV Station in Taiwan. We were overjoyed when the cooperation was originally intended to be a "try it out". I remember that when I connected with a Taiwan Dongsen reporter to report on the air crash, and the accent of Taiwanese Mandarin really came from the earphones, I dared to believe it was true.It is also because of Dongsen's cooperation that this cross-strait link report was successfully completed. In fact, we didn't think too much about it. News facts determine the way we report, but interestingly, there are people who are more sensitive than us.A few days later, an overseas magazine headlined: "The three links between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have not been established, but the media will communicate first", and reported our cooperation in detail. It turned out that this was actually the first such cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Accidentally, we filled a gap, and after this time, we have already started serious preparations, and when the time is right, we will cooperate on a larger scale.Regarding this point, through our several small cooperations with Dongsen TV, the other party also thought of it with us. Just need a chance, a chance to start to melt the ice of history. Yansong looks at Taiwan In 2005, the history of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait opened a new page. Since spring, Lien Chan and James Soong have come to the mainland one after another, especially the arrival of the former, which ended the hostility between the KMT and the Communist Party after 60 years, and a handshake across history was staged in Beijing. I am hosting the visits of these two figures and the related live broadcasts. At this time, our plan to "see Taiwan" is already in full swing. When Lien Chan came to visit, many reporters came from Taiwan, and Dongsen TV naturally continued our cooperation. This time, they sent the female anchor Lu Xiufang, who also became the first Taiwanese female to enter the mainland CCTV studio. anchor.Therefore, in the subsequent cooperation, we jointly owned many "firsts" in the history of media exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. James Soong has basically withdrawn from the political arena in Taiwan, but he still enjoys a great reputation in the mainland.Like Ma Ying-jeou, this political tycoon who is known by Taiwanese as having a good image and being close to the people, made a peak move, which was his trip to the mainland after Lien Chan. Because the Kuomintang and the Communist Party shook hands again after 60 years, and when they met and smiled, I could become the first mainland reporter to come to the once sensitive Kuomintang Central Party Headquarters building to conduct interviews and filming.This building also proves that the Kuomintang has a strong family background in Taiwan. Therefore, after Ma Ying-jeou came to power, the Kuomintang Central Committee moved out of this building, keeping a low profile and enjoying the fun with the people. With Lien Chan and James Soong coming to the mainland, the atmosphere on both sides of the Taiwan Strait immediately changed, and our request to go to Taiwan for an interview report also received efficient and kind responses from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.Going to Taiwan, our partner is naturally Dongsen TV. The ten top figures in various industries in Taiwan that we hope to interview are all in smooth contact, and basically agree to be interviewed freely; and the more than ten to be produced Topics are also being planned and selected.Of course, relevant parties in Taiwan also provided positive interactions during our inbound interviews. We know that this is not easy. In the previous exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, there has never been such a media action. This is also the first time that the mainland media has entered the island to report on a large scale, and it has been observed from various angles.So a green light like this is unthinkable without a shift in atmosphere.For example, in the selection of topics, we reported on the Kuomintang headquarters building, went to the cemetery of Teresa Teng for interviews, filmed Master Cheng Yen’s morning class in Hualien and “chat” interviews with the Master, and of course also interviewed Lien Chan, James Soong, Wang Yongqing and others, Of course, there is no need to mention the reports on the color and fragrance of Eslite bookstores, night markets, and snacks. If there is a regret, it is that Taiwan has stipulated that once entering Taiwan, you can only stay for ten days at most. Our interviews with ten people, production of more than a dozen special topics, and multiple live broadcasts must be completed within these ten days. Mori TV helped us prepare for contact and implement the route in advance. Such work is impossible.This also corresponds to the witty saying in life: Only a group of one can be a pair of red.Although in the end, due to the typhoon, all the planes were grounded, and we stayed in Taiwan for one more day, but it was only one day.In fact, if you have more time, you can see more carefully and deeply. However, there is nothing to complain about. The departure and the trip are already the greatest success. In July 2005, we finally ushered in the moment of departure.Unlike before going to Taiwan for the first time, there are no more sensitive, tense and conceptual imaginations, but more curiosity: what kind of Taiwan will we present on the screen after departure? At this time, there is no direct flight between the mainland and Taiwan. I get up at 6 am, take off in Beijing in the morning, and go through various procedures after flying to Hong Kong. After that, I take off again in Hong Kong and arrive in Taipei at night.When all the formalities are completed and the car drives into Taipei from the airport, the lights are flourishing, and Taipei repeats its own life night after night. However, what has begun to change?How has this city, this island, prepared to face the mainland and the larger and curious future? Lu Xiufang She was my partner in "Yan Song Watching Taiwan", but our cooperation started with Lien Chan's visit a few months ago.Xiufang entered the studio of Oriental Time and Space, and the program we co-hosted was broadcast on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and it was a high ratings point. From this, we began many times of cooperation.Although the word "Yan Song" was used in front of the "Looking Taiwan" later, I have stated on many occasions: I am afraid that the ratings should be attributed more to Xiufang.This is not polite. Xiufang is a beautiful and young senior anchor. This seemingly contradictory comment is true for her. She was also a "big name" in Dongsen and even the entire Taiwanese TV industry at that time.It stands to reason that our partners should really need to get in touch. After all, there are many differences in speech habits, views on some things, and taboo things on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. However, it is hard to believe that so many times of cooperation, We have hardly run in, and even what you say and what I say are not discussed in advance, but every time you come and go smoothly.This is true no matter whether it is in Taiwan this time, or later in the mainland, whether it is shooting snacks or reporting on the Shenzhou spacecraft.I don't want to talk about tacit understanding or fate. Behind this, there should be the care and kindness of two people who consider each other, and naturally there are things in common after working in news for a long time; of course, there must be a lot of hard work behind it. Xiufang's ancestral home is in Shandong. Although she grew up in Taiwan, she still has Shandong's temperament in her bones. The atmosphere is the most important feature; of course, there are also the traditional virtues of Shandong and Taiwan. There is one detail that I will never forget.After arriving in Taiwan, one day, the Kuomintang Party Headquarters invited us to dinner. In attendance were the former Vice President of the Executive Yuan Xu Lide, Secretary-General Lin Fengzheng and other big figures, and Xu Lide was Xiufang's father-in-law.I remember that when the end was near, Mr. Xu Lide was going to leave first. I found that since Mr. Xu said he was going to leave, Xiufang next to me had never moved her chopsticks, and had been sitting quietly, as if waiting for something.Sure enough, after a while, Mr. Xu Lide got up to leave. At this time, Xiufang, who had been waiting for a long time, had already taken her father-in-law's clothes, stood behind Mr. Xu, helped him dress, and waited all the way to the elevator entrance until Mr. Xu took his seat. The elevator leaves. I have been watching this process, and the other Taiwanese friends at the table seem to have not seen it or are used to it, and continue to talk and laugh, but I am already full of emotions.I haven't seen this scene of etiquette between daughter-in-law and father-in-law for a long time, but fortunately, it has not been lost, and it is still in Taiwan, on Xiufang's body. It may also be because of our many cooperations that Xiufang's popularity in the mainland has risen sharply. She has been recognized in many places in the mainland, and autographed photos have become commonplace. Therefore, the Taiwanese TV industry understands a truth: whoever wins Xiufang wins the mainland. At the beginning of 2009, Xiufang was poached by Taiwan Zhongtian TV, and Dongsen TV lost Xiufang. Although we are always grateful to Dongsen TV, Xiufang is rare after all, so the cooperation will continue between me and Xiufang. This is something. Lyrics Taiwan If I go to Taiwan to report again in the future, I would like to do a special feature on "Lyrics Taiwan".There is no place like Taiwan where maps and music are so magically combined in our generation or two. I remember one day when I went to interview Bo Yang, the journey was long, coupled with absolute fatigue, I was drowsy in the car, when I heard someone say: I’ve arrived at Xindianxi, it’s almost here... I woke up in an instant, which Xindianxi?Is it the Xindian Creek in "The Same Moonlight, Shining the Same on the Xindian Creek" in Su Rui's "The Same Moonlight"? Answer: "Yes." My eyes never returned to the car.In fact, there is not much to see in Xindianxi in reality. However, I saw myself twenty years ago, and I suddenly discovered that Taiwan is actually no stranger. In the lyrics, I have been to too many places in Taiwan. It's just that I haven't summarized it in detail. When I went to Tamsui Ancient Town to shoot, no matter what the pictures and plots were, I was always accompanied by the melody of Cai Qin's "Tamshui Town", and the soundtrack was natural. In Taipei, I walked Zhongxiao Road again and again. According to different moods, sometimes Tong Ange's "Let Life Wait" sounded "walking on Zhongxiao East Road and wandering among the crowd"; sometimes, it was the power train "Zhongxiao East Road" Walk nine times..." At this time, an ordinary road was full of love and tears. When interviewing Bo Yang, talking about the days of being imprisoned in Green Island, it was natural to think of "Green Island Serenade", but this beautiful melody and the fear of imprisonment are too difficult to unify, it seems that sometimes the melody is deceiving . Go live, the location is in Ximending, Luo Dayou's "Seventy-two Changes of Phenomenon" came uninvited again, "Walking on the flyover in Ximending, how many civilized people are on the sidewalk..." So, I looked around carefully and saw Looking at the origin of Luo Dayou's anger at the beginning and the fact that the status quo has not changed.It’s just that no matter how you look at it, you can’t see Luo Dayou’s back. Today’s young people, no matter where they are, have realistically thrown away their anger and shouting. Maybe this is the reason why Luo Dayou settled in Beijing? Of course, from this, you will think, where is the town of Lukang?Why is Taipei not my home?Of course, there is still a pity. When I walked into Alishan, I didn’t see any girls from Alishan. Could it be that the times have changed, and the girls from Alishan have all stayed in the singing? The climax of lyrics in Taiwan comes from the song that never stops during the daytime at Teresa Teng's cemetery. Our report in front of Teresa Teng's cemetery is the first time for mainland TV media.The flowers in front of Teresa Teng's tomb are always fresh, and the tree next to her is always full of paper cranes with messages, all of which contain various contents, without exception, written growth and gratitude. In Taiwan in July, it is a season of sweating profusely, and the feeling of humidity and heat makes people have nowhere to hide.People are also somewhat bored. However, for a few hours to Teresa Teng's cemetery, this summer was forgotten. Teresa Teng's cemetery is on the northernmost mountain in Taiwan. The operator of the commercial cemetery gave her the best cemetery. Since then, this has become the largest and best advertisement for the cemetery. , no longer care about all this. Xiufang and I held flowers in our hands, went up all the way, offered flowers, looked back along the line of sight of Teresa Teng's statue, and realized the splendor of Teresa Teng's cemetery. Facing the mainland, Teresa Teng's hometown, a place she has never been to. At this time, I suddenly realized the existence of live singing.In Teresa Teng's cemetery, selected Teresa Teng's songs are constantly being played, one of which is "When will you come again", a song that once made us talk about it.However, on this day, it is only sad, and even you find that it is like a prophecy. "Good flowers don't always bloom, and good times don't always stay..." This may be Teresa Teng singing about herself many years later, but time has passed, the singer is powerless, but the listener has the heart. When Teresa Teng's body returned to Taiwan, everyone mourned together. On that day, it was Xiufang who was broadcasting live.Speaking of today, more than ten years have passed, but it’s okay, Teresa Teng will always be fixed in the season when a good flower blooms, she will never grow old again, and will always become a statue, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming. Teresa Teng is worthy of the splendor of this cemetery, because her singing voice carries too many memories of Chinese people. In the world, wherever there are Chinese people, there are her songs. The only thing that can calm Chinese people all over the world is Teresa Teng's song.Her voice is innocent, but it does not belong to children, but bids farewell to the people in childhood. The fluttering singing is far and near, with salvation and intoxication, like liberation and shackles. The countryside has become the nostalgia of all Chinese people. Eslite Bookstore Shooting a feature for a bookstore rarely happened in the past, but this time, I arrived in Taipei, and this time, I was facing Eslite Bookstore. Before coming to Taiwan, I knew about Eslite, and even mentioned Taiwan, I must mention Eslite. This is almost the consensus of the people in Taiwan, and it doesn’t even matter whether I read or not. This is a 24-hour bookstore operating in chains in many cities in Taiwan.The eternal lamp illuminates the city, and it seems to illuminate the hearts of the people. Of course, if you want, Eslite has become the pride and dignity of Taiwan. The Eslite Bookstore is covered with solid wood floors, clean and dust-free, in order to allow readers to sit on the floor conveniently. As long as you don’t block the bookshelves and interfere with other people’s buying books, you can sit for five or six hours at a time, and no one will disturb you. Open 24 hours, it provides not only a service but also a way of life.My interview was after 10:30 in the evening, and I also went to hang out several times after 24:00, and there were quite a lot of people.That kind of quiet and noble atmosphere makes you feel that life is beautiful and reading is dignified. Zhang Yuling from Dongsen TV, our collaborator, business manager, a gentle and strong woman, often works overtime until three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, and sometimes receives a call from the "cruel" boss: a meeting at seven o'clock in the morning!What should I do with the three or four hours left?Going home, disturbing the family; being in the office, boring and monotonous, making people desperate; so, Yuling chose to go to Chengpin Bookstore more than once, order a cup of coffee, read two books, take a nap, and when the time came, she calmly go to a meeting. There are many people in Taipei who live and choose like Yuling. As for the service of Eslite, there is one thing we have personally experienced. My colleague Liu Aimin was entrusted to buy a medical book. I checked it at the Eslite Dunnan store in Taipei. In Taiwan, only Eslite in Kaohsiung had one left. So I made an appointment to go to Kaohsiung to buy it in a few days. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Kaohsiung, just in time for the typhoon "Haitang" to hit, all the shops in Kaohsiung were closed. My colleague made a phone call with the mentality of trying it out, and it turned out that there was no problem. On that day, Eslite in Kaohsiung opened the door for my colleague once, and only sold this book in one day. Therefore, if you often choose Taipei as a tourist destination in the future, there must be one of the reasons: Eslite is here. Taipei National Palace Museum There are two Forbidden City, one in Beijing and one in Taipei. When you arrive at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, you immediately understand: the Forbidden City itself is the biggest attraction in Beijing; the exhibits in Taipei attract people. Since its opening in 1965, the National Palace Museum in Taipei has changed its exhibits every few months. Up to now, the collection has not yet been displayed. Not only quantity, but also quality.For example, "Yixi" in "Sanxitang" is in Taipei.But what is interesting is that there are three exhibits in the National Palace Museum in Taipei that never change, the jade carving "Jade Jade Cabbage", the meat stone "Dongpo Meat" and the Maogong Ding. Needless to say, the Maogong Ding is one of the two "best bronzes" in China, and the other is the Simuwu Dafang Ding in the Forbidden City in Beijing. As for the jadeite cabbage and the Dongpo meat-shaped stone, from the perspective of cultural relics, they may not be as valuable as many other collections in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Or, the Chinese really love to eat, and always think of "roasted cabbage with meat", so the popularity of the two remains high, and the National Palace Museum in Taipei also puts people first, and never replaces them, so that tourists who come to the hospital to find these two treasures have fun. The National Palace Museum in Taipei is a new building, but this provides the best stage for displaying the collection.This time our camera was able to enter the shooting, and it was an unprecedented grace. Even the mainland "Taipei Forbidden City" documentary crew was not allowed, so it was hard to imagine. When we parted, there was another worry. I don’t know what I will see next time I come to the National Palace Museum in Taipei.There will also be regrets, the Forbidden City is divided into two, however, it is not bad, there is more concern due to separation, and each uses its own way to inherit and protect the warmth of the ancestors, so that you have more confidence : If the pulse of culture is continuous, the blood cannot be broken. volunteer Volunteer, Taiwanese usage, we are called volunteers. In Taiwan, there is no need to look for volunteers everywhere. To film the content of "Volunteer", Xiufang and I went to a hospital in Taipei to do volunteer work.The work is simple and complicated. Do the work of small patients one by one room, and then lead the consenters to a room, play games with them, make them happy, and the disease may recover faster.There are volunteers like us taking turns playing games with the children every day, which has become a way of treatment. After playing games with the invited children, we took a photo together, except Xiufang and I, and many volunteers.I don't know if the children will be happy after the game?But my memory tells me: I am really happy to be a volunteer. Aside from what we do, once you enter the hospital, you will see a volunteer counter in the lobby. You don’t need to look at it. As soon as you enter the door, volunteers will come over and ask you how you feel, see which department has any needs, and then accompany you to help you.There are volunteers doing this job every day, and the hospital only provides venues and the initial training. Knowing this, I have another hope: When will the hospitals in mainland China be like this, and by that time, the relationship between doctors and patients will be eased Not a lot.Because volunteers shuttle between you and the doctor like a lubricant, worries and anger are also reduced. Not only that, what surprised me is that the guides in the National Palace Museum in Taipei are all volunteers.However, it is not easy to become a volunteer of this kind, and you have to pass a strict qualification assessment. Therefore, the Forbidden City volunteer who accompanied us would proudly say: "Although you may only come for half a day a week, but when you walk on the street in this suit, you will be surrounded by Envious eyes." As long as you observe carefully, volunteers are everywhere, and there are more middle-aged and elderly people. Unlike here, volunteers are owned by the Youth Federation.In fact, volunteering is a kind of heart and has nothing to do with age. Besides, middle-aged and elderly people have more time to do what they want to do. In this regard, the future of the mainland has unlimited potential. Lien Chan When we arrived in Taiwan, of course we needed to interview Lien Chan and James Soong.Compared with interviewing James Soong's memory, the interview with Lien Chan is more special. The time is the evening of July 14, 2005, which means that since the Kuomintang chairman election will start on the 16th, our interview with Lien Chan is basically his Last interview before party chairman election. During the interview, Lien Chan told me proudly that the KMT and the DPP had similar support rates, but in the past few months since he returned from the mainland, the KMT’s support rate has reached 34%, while the DPP’s has only 19%.Therefore, although Lien Chan in the photo is about to step down as party chairman, he seems to have a more confident expression. Lien Chan looks honest and honest, and therefore seems to lack the temperament of an idol and star. Compared with James Soong, Lien Chan's eloquence is also average, and he is called "dumb" by the Taiwanese media. Therefore, Lien Chan lost the election twice.No way, if the election is a show featuring democracy, then the lack of star quality and poor eloquence are really disadvantages. Lien Chan is an example. However, Lien Chan's mainland tour pushed his charisma and merit to the highest point. He has always been "dull", and his speech at Peking University was highly praised.One is that Lien Chan's so-called dullness is only compared with other competitors in Taiwan who talk about lotus flowers;No wonder so many people think that if they run for office after coming to the mainland, Lien Chan will surely win.However, history has no ifs. Lien Chan, who seems to be honest and honest, is actually not short of humor and domineering.It is said that General Secretary Hu hosted a banquet for Lien Chan and his party in Beijing. During the banquet, he toasted and said to Lien Chan: "You are a big brother who studies politics, so I have to ask you for advice." Lien Chan quickly replied: "Where is it? I have never learned guns." After finishing the words, everyone present laughed. In Taipei, I asked him about his plans after stepping down as party chairman in a few days, and his answer was not complicated. "I want to be a volunteer for the Kuomintang." In fact, more than that, the future volunteers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are even more right. Bo Yang Bo Yang is old, which can be seen from his appearance. I interviewed him in Beijing seven years ago. Although he was nearly 80 years old at that time, he still had black hair, quick movements, and a loud voice. When he returned to his hometown in Henan, he looked like a The lone goose returned to its nest, full of excitement and curiosity, just like a teenager. But this time it was completely different, it was difficult to stand up.Some things often come to my lips but I can't think of them.Sitting opposite him, I suddenly felt sad slowly.No matter what kind of fighter, after all, they are no match for the years, and everyone will eventually fall. When he opened his mouth, my heartache disappeared.Instead of heartbreak, a greater sadness and despair stirred in Bo Yang's conversation, leaving the listener nowhere to hide. A writer who is famous for his essays frankly stated that essays are useless, because the better thing is construction and change, while essays only have some extreme language, which is useless.At this time, Bo Yang's words finally revealed the sharp fragility and his own pain in anger.Speaking of his hometown, the old man sighed and said: "Our generation will never be able to return home in good clothes, but can we return home safely?" Then he confessed himself, "I have never been happy in my life..." Hearing this, you understand that this is The tragic sighs and occasional laughter entrusted to him by an era are just short turning points in one tragedy after another. Only when talking about his wife Zhang Xianghua, Bo Yang became humorous and happy again.God is fair sometimes, if something is taken away from you, it will be compensated for something, such as love for Bo Yang. When I left, I almost knew that there would be no next time, no one could resist, the back of an era and life, what he could take away would not be happiness, but only some vague or present hopes.However, what kind of connection will this hope have with him? Two years later, I received a text message from Dongsen Zhang Yuling: Bo Yang is gone, your interview is the final record. After another period of time, in 2010, news came that Bo Yang's remains would be sent back to his hometown in Henan for burial. Wang Yongqing When you come to Taiwan, if you don't interview Wang Yongqing, it means you haven't faced Taiwan's economy. No matter how many brands there are in Taiwan, the biggest one in the business world is probably Wang Yongqing. 知道我们去采访王永庆，秀芳也跟随采访，因为王永庆已经拒绝采访很久，对于台湾媒体，如秀芳这般，都是机会珍贵难得。 已经九十岁的王永庆让人无法相信以他的年龄仍在上班工作，仍然拒绝社会各界对接班人的猜测，仍然敏感于世道与社会的变化。等采访全部结束，老爷子居然谈兴未尽，留下我们喝咖啡，又是一个小时破天荒的畅谈。这时的王永庆，焦虑大于一切，他无所顾忌地批评当时年轻的岛内执政者，认为台湾快要错失与大陆走近的机会，再晚两年，你连和大陆谈判的机会都没有…… 王永庆是从卖米开始起家的。谈到卖米时的想法，他对我说：当时没有梦想，就是把当前做好，结果自然会好；如果当时觉得卖米是小生意，要做大的，那就会力不从心。你还没到这个程度就这样想，就变成妄想，反过来就不会成功。 外表如同大陆马三立的王永庆，讲的话可不让人笑，而让人陪他同样地焦虑起来。离开这些话题，老爷子的另一面却同样让人印象深刻。 虽然王永庆富可敌国，却始终认为自己是替社会理财，一个毛巾能用十年，自己在办公室楼上住，并坚持吃太太种的菜，一绿色二健康。可对于大陆，做起慈善来却是大手笔，一直不停歇。 四年之后，工作中的王永庆在美国巡视中突然离世，华人世界一代经营之神，从此成为传奇。老人离世后，电视机构来采访我，我的回答不复杂： “我永远记得那一个下午老人的焦虑，那焦虑，已与经营无关，却关乎未来。” 证严上人 采访证严上人的要求，在两岸都一路绿灯顺利通过，我稍有些意外。这是中央电视台第一次对台湾宗教界人士进行专访报道，我们知道其中的敏感，提出这个要求，是因为台湾“人间佛教”经过多年发扬光大，已成为台湾社会的重要支撑，甚至在海外华人中也影响巨大，而慈济的证严上人，是其中的卓越代表。 1963年，二十六岁的王姓姑娘皈依佛门，法号“证严”，回到花莲普明寺后，她以“不赶经忏、不做法会、不化缘”为原则，开始“一日不作一日不食”的修行生活。在慈济，你很难分清谁是信徒谁是志愿者，或者说，每个信徒都以志愿者的身份投身社会，赈灾济民，做一切该做的善事。全台湾，有超过五分之一的民众参加过慈济的善事。 而证严上人的“人间佛教”思想，也在信徒与社会之间搭建了和谐相处的平台。比如慈济的“十诫”中，前五诫如不抽烟不喝酒，似乎与以往没什么不同，但在后五诫中，出现了遵守交通规则、孝敬父母、不参加政治游行等项目。于是，你也就品出“人间”的味道。 慈济与大陆互动最早。在1991年的大陆华东水灾中，慈济就投入捐赠，以后每有灾情，必有慈济的善款与慈济人的身影。更不要说慈济骨髓库，早已成为大陆骨髓移植手术中最大的骨髓配型提供源。我们采访的当天，就有一场生命接力在上演，配型后的骨髓早上从花莲出发，转机香港，目的地北京，傍晚时分，手术在北京的医院进行，一切平安。 早上五点三十分，我们便以旁观者的身份参与到证严上人组织的早课中，来自台湾各地的人们与证严上人分享心得，这其中，有很多的中学生。虽然我们在工作，在拍摄采访，然而春风化雨之间，心，似乎也慢慢静了下来。 与证严上人的沟通，不叫“采访”，而叫“聊天”。炎热的夏天，屋内没有空调，只有风扇在悄悄地转，然而，并不觉得热，只有清凉。 在之后与证严上人的不叫采访的聊天中，她的一些话让人感慨良多。 要学会感恩被你帮助的人，是他们，让你有所启悟，用苦难教育了你。 甘愿做，欢喜爱，挨骂受委屈都不为所动。 不要怕被磨，被磨的那块石头是会发亮的，磨人的更辛苦，他是会消耗的，所以，人生哪里有什么敌人…… 当我问到证严上人，思考最多的是什么？ 她的回答是：“总是感觉来不及，因为想做的事太多，想帮的人太多。”告别了慈济与花莲，觉得离台湾又近了一些，总有一些经验与心里的悟是要借鉴的。在台湾，不止证严上人在这么做，星云大师等人也都在这么做。“人间佛教”这四个字不只是一个简单的排列组合，更像是千百年来一次重要的佛教革命。它告别了深山，走向红尘，告别独修，而引领众人，已不仅仅是宗教那么简单，更像是一种新的社会动员与安抚方式。我愿意相信，这是台湾在未来，可为华人世界带来经验的领域。或许，受益的人更多，甚至变成整个社会。 typhoon 心静了下来，然而大自然却不再安静。 当我们的采访接近结束，只剩下高雄的内容时，台风“海棠”以摧枯拉朽之势登陆台湾，让我们这些北方人终于体会到台风的厉害。 所有的店铺都已关门，只能待在房间里，也正因为如此，电视人就必须奋战在台风中，因为人们都在家里看电视。于是，这个时候，我看到了台湾电视人令人尊敬的另一面。几乎所有传媒机构的记者都在台风之中，事无巨细地以直播方式将“海棠”的威力展现在公众面前。 这的确不是一件容易的事情，因为我也立即开始直播，因此知道这里面的艰难。想想看，晚上睡觉时，风力之大，让你始终感觉有壮汉在敲打窗户，而第二天，满大街都是被刮断的树干，一片狼藉。做直播时，两腿必须分开，否则站不住；摄像的后面，有我们的另一个同事抱着他，否则根本没法拍。 两天的直播下来，感受了台风的威力，也体验了台湾百姓每年都有几次的另类生活。由此，台风于我，变成了在台湾体验过的风。 那几天，大街小巷几乎空无一人，电视人用辛苦找到了尊严，也算是给了我特别的观察同行的机会吧。 一场台风，将我们多留了一天，但作为一个过客，终将踏上归程，这一次，台湾已经让我“横看成岭侧成峰”，终于立体起来。而难得的这一切，也通过镜头交还给观众，只是不知，对观众来说，台湾是否依然遥远？ 一晃几年时间过去，与2005年相比，海峡两岸和风尽吹，已太多不同，马英九替代了陈水扁，而陈水扁却在监牢中。台湾人常常拿此来打趣：陈水扁上台下台都是进步与对台湾的贡献。上台是历史新的一页，民主进步，而下台进监牢，更是进步，法制与民主相得益彰。话虽轻松，但对台湾造成的震荡却不小。 这四年间，三通已通，两岸互动之密切，甚至让普通大陆游客去一次台湾，成了轻而易举的事情。而且我相信，再不会如我第一次那般紧张、担心与敏感了！ “朋友之间越来越有礼貌，是因为大家见面越来越少……”这是罗大佑的歌词，而如果见面越来越多呢？不会不礼貌，只会更多了解。 交往多了，你也会看到更多。不仅仅是可借鉴的经验，还会有伤口，外在的，和内在的。 “八·八”风灾 2009年8月8日，北京奥运开幕一周年，然而这一天的台湾，却遭受台风带来的巨大创伤。一个叫“小林”的小村庄，一瞬间几乎灭村，一百余位村民被埋丧生。台湾上下震惊，悲伤与社会关注的程度，如同一年前的汶川地震之于大陆。 几天之后，我接到通知，去台湾报道“八·八”风灾，没什么说的，出发。 由于直航，仅仅两个多小时，就到了台北，坐上高铁，一个多小时后到达高雄。 之后再到小林村和其他灾区的道路就没这么顺畅。“八·八”风灾的巨大威力，肉眼随处可见，到处是山体滑坡，道路中断，桥梁倒塌，寺庙成了灾民收容所，平日里对大陆广播的电台办公处也成了避难所，救灾，成了台湾当时的第一任务。 当我来到小林村，站在高处，第一眼望过去，我便知道，所见的景象这一生都很难忘记。并不是肉眼中的惨况空前，而恰恰相反，滑落的山体覆盖了几乎一切，仅剩下两个原来在高处的房屋还孤独地存在，新的地面上水沟纵横，如果不是旁边的人们介绍：这土地下面就是原来的小林村，你几乎以为，这里，原本就什么都没存在过。 既然来了，就不想远观。由于这是一个山谷，向下要滑落十几米，然后，过一个又一个临时出现的小河沟才能靠近，所以，摄制组无法进入。但我还是没打招呼就自己滑落下去，然后深一脚浅一脚地向里走了几百米的路，大约四十多分钟，终于来到那两个遗留的房子前面，生活的一切痕迹都在，门前站着两只不叫的狗，似乎等待救援。而再近一步仔细看，其中一个房子是平时的宗教场所，可惜，灾难的面前，只保佑了建筑，却无法保住村民的生命。 在我沉默地走回公路的时候，我真实地知道了“八·八”风灾给台湾带来的创痛。台湾不大，任何一场不小的灾难，都会成为全岛百姓的悲情；救援不力，也会引发全岛的愤怒，更不要说这么严重的“八·八”风灾。 一边是灾情触目惊心，灾民们居无定所，而另一方面，是全民呛声、追责、叫骂。 那几天，媒体天天在曝光，风灾当天，哪一个官员在宴席中，哪一个麻木不仁。在相关政论节目中，骂声一片。必须承认，台湾的民主进程前行迅速，但另一方面，巨大的灾难，暴露出政府救灾效率的不足。或许，台湾民主需要进一步前行，才会找到公平与效率更大的平衡，而不是在做事与作秀之间游移。否则不会出现这一幕——我去采访大陆前来救援的活动板房施工队队长，队长对着我都快掉下眼泪。因为效率太低，一会儿让干一会儿不让干，配套的台湾工人，上班来下班走，似乎不着急。用队长的话说：“在大陆，这些天估计已经干完了，在这儿，才搭完俩样板房。” 这不是民主的问题，而恰恰是民主需要进一步前行的问题。在这个方面，台湾为华人世界扮演着先行者的角色，成功的经验与失败的教训，都将让更多人少走弯路。所以，当我们已陆续看淡台湾硬件优势之后，它在软实力方面的优势，只看我们如何借鉴与合作。 大自然的确具有翻手为云覆手为雨的能力，我正在穿越的乱石滩地下几米深，就是曾经人声鼎沸的小林村。从8月8日那天起，原来的小林村便只在人们的心里存在。然而让我没想到的是，一年后的同一天，甘肃舟曲遭遇泥石流，也有一个村子和很大面积的县城被埋。这一特殊的巧合，让两岸民众有了相同的苦难感受。 也为失败者歌唱 从小林村到阿里山，从死难者到无家可归的人，不到十天的时间，我触碰到大自然的灾难给台湾留下的一个又一个伤口，然而，机缘巧合，当我即将离开台湾的前夜，在宁静并温馨的空间里，我触碰到台湾另一个伤口，它不是来自大自然，而是来自历史。 结束了采访，第二天就要回北京，回到台北做完最后的直播并一起吃完欢送饭，回到酒店很久睡不着，这个时候，诚品书店二十四小时不关门的优势显现出来，我独自来到诚品。 一会儿，热销榜上的两本书牢牢地抓住了我，一本是龙应台的《大江大海·一九四九》，一本是《台湾，请听我说》。 在龙应台这本书的封底上，有这样的话：所有的生离死别，都发生在一个码头，上了船，就是一生。让你看见我们的父母，一整代人隐忍不言的伤。这是一本你从来没认识过的一九四九。 而在《台湾，请听我说》的封面上，还有一行字：压抑的、裂变的、再生的六十年。 一九四九，六十年，多么熟悉的字眼，一瞬间，换了个角度击中我。 这一个夜晚，是2009年9月2日凌晨。从台北回到北京，我将全身心投入到共和国六十年大庆的直播工作中，这注定是一个欢腾的时刻，举世瞩目。这是一个庆典，也是因为一九四九，也是六十年，是一个属于胜利者的六十年。 但在诚品书店的那个午夜，在两本书的面前，我突然看到了一个属于“失败者”的六十年。过去，我们几乎将这一点忘记，也似乎粗心地不再记起。六十年前，一个又一个码头或机场上以为很随意地离别，却让亲人离别了一生。在二百多万个六十年前从大陆到台湾的大陆人里，接下来都是怎样的人生，眼泪、思念、隐忍、绝望、幸运……又是怎样的一种交织？ 那一个午夜，我突然感觉到真的离台湾近了。龙应台以失败者后代的名义，为“失败者”歌唱；而我，也天真地想当然地以“胜利者”后代的名义，开始正视并尊重起“失败者”来。起码，从认真地阅读与聆听他们的故事开始。 也正是在那个午夜，我似乎更清楚地看到了连接海峡两岸的道路。 时常，台湾，不过是我们发泄愤怒或畅谈梦想时的一个工具，而真实的台湾，它的悲情与压抑，自强与自尊，又有多少人认真听过，想过？ 当我终于有机会站在人性的角度上，重新审视胜利与失败，重新阅读台湾这个历史的孤岛在过去岁月里的深深悲情，也才真正听懂了罗大佑与陈映真等人乡土背后的孤愤与挣扎。 两岸，不可能走上急功近利的政治或军事上的统一，而要走上柔化的人性与心灵统一之路，它虽艰难，却持久而稳固。近几年，大陆对台善意交往，以台湾及百姓所需为本，就是功德无量之事。大陆的“大”字，也正在此体现。 在台湾，希望立即独立的，是少数，希望立即统一的，也是少数；大多数，在观望，在心灵与情感上感受，在具体生活需求与未来上思量。这注定有一个过程，我绝不悲观。不说的理想才像理想，比“三通”更重要的是心通。台湾，小地方，却是考验海峡两岸中国人智慧的大舞台。
