Li Ao has something to say 李敖 1450Words 2018-03-18
Such intellectuals are gone.why?I talked about the reasons: first, they were a respected generation at that time, how much they respected a university president, and the university president deserves such respect from others, like Cai Yuanpei; second, now that the times have changed, what about after the times change? In fact, the intellectuals have become stinking old nines, and the real power is in the hands of soldiers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, political parties, and these people.The real political power is in the hands of these people, and intellectuals can only help out from the sidelines, and have no influence.Therefore, we can see that it is very difficult to be a loner intellectual.

I joke a lot.People say that Li Ao is different in Taiwan.Taiwanese people can't get people like me, Li Ao.They said: Then how did you grow up?I said: I was born outside the womb.Where can people like me, Li Ao, come out of Taiwan? Then what kind of faction are you, Li Ao, from?When Shen Baozhen came to Taiwan (Shen Baozhen is Lin Zexu's son-in-law), he wrote a couplet for Zheng Chenggong, which I think is very elegant.When he described Taiwan, he also described Zheng Chenggong. He said: The creation of the ancients is unprecedented, and the mountains and rivers are left in the prehistoric world as the world of survivors.The next time Li Ao wrote to Zheng Chenggong: There is no such thing as a life-long encounter, and the shortcomings are returned to the heavens and the earth to create a perfect person.The hopeless encounter in life is the destruction of the country and the family.It was like this for him at the time, he wanted to keep his ideals, so he came to Taiwan.Of course I didn’t. I followed a reactionary regime. My father had no choice but to follow a reactionary regime. We went into exile in Taiwan.

I have been in Taiwan for fifty-fifth consecutive years.I think the most difficult thing I have done in the past 55 years, I will tell you what it is: I am not the Kuomintang, I am not the Democratic Progressive Party, I am not the new party, I am not any party, I have never done any party party members.Hey, what kind of credit is this?This is such a great skill.You know, when the Kuomintang ruled, how difficult it was for you not to be a Kuomintang?There is a saying in an ancient Chinese book, which is called "what is not necessary, what is not must be otherwise"-with it, you are nothing, without it, you can't do.what is this?National Party card.There are more KMTs than dogs. With this party card, it is not necessary (it is nothing special, I have it and you have it too); it is inevitable, if you do not have this party card, we will suspect you, because you do not have it.

Do you know that in World War II, when the British and American coalition forces went to Germany, they wanted someone with a reputation to maintain the reconstruction of Germany.They wanted to find someone who had never cooperated with Hitler, who had never cooperated with the Nazi Party. After looking for someone, everyone in the world had fooled around with Hitler, raised their flags, and helped others. No one was innocent.There was only one person who was innocent, and that was the mayor of Prang City at that time. His name was Aidenor, but he was already very old at that time.He was persecuted by Hitler when he was fifty-seven years old, until when? He was persecuted until my age, until he was sixty-nine.He didn't raise his head until he was sixty-nine years old, and became Chancellor of West Germany, helping Germany's revival until he died at the age of ninety-one.However, knowing that a person like him has never cooperated with Hitler, of course, he has also been in prison, well, let him come out to help.

I'm not talking about why you are looking for me in Taiwan, I just tell you: find someone who has a reputation, he has never done anything with the Kuomintang or the Democratic Progressive Party, you can find someone who has never joined the Kuomintang, who has never joined the DPP, or If you say that you have never joined the New Party, you can find someone who is truly independent and independent, and that is me.It looks easy, but in fact it is extremely difficult to do it. So, you can see an interesting file.At that time, the Propaganda Minister of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Fangming, approached me and came to visit me. He later wrote an article in which he said: "Li Ao is a phenomenon of Taiwanese culture, and he is a continuation of traditional Chinese culture in Taiwan. However, His fighting on this island, and the love and hate that came with it, has transformed him into a Taiwanese."—that was their hope.In the following paragraph, he said: "I am afraid that there are not many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who can catch up with him in his embrace of traditional China. His embrace is not to embrace the old and the weak, but to apply what he has learned." Not many people can hold a candle to him. This is how Li Ao became a Taiwanese, even though he hates Taiwanese very much.” The description of the director of the Propaganda Department of the Democratic Progressive Party is very interesting.
