《光明報》：政治檔案和口述史料交錯下的考證

Guang-Ming Pao: An Investigation Based on Political Archives and Oral Historical Records

《光明報》是中國共產黨臺灣省工作委員會（簡稱「臺省工委」）在1948年間印行的一份地下報紙。這份報紙為蠟紙油印八開單頁，採不定時出刊，印量最多時達五、六百份，前後僅僅出版21期。1949年9月間，軍警人員衝入基隆中學校園，破獲編印組織，並逮捕多名工作人員。《光明報》意外曝光，揭開了臺省工委組織瓦解的序幕。情治人員循線捕獲領導幹部蔡孝乾、陳澤民、洪幼樵、張志忠等人，臺省工委組織自此遭受致命破壞。因此《光明報》事件可說是1950年代白色恐怖歷史的主要轉捩點。本案件相關檔案在石室金匱中塵封幾十載，各種訊息真假難辨、透過網際網路廣為流傳。本文為正本清源，以維基百科辭條為出發點進行考察、勾稽口述訪談紀錄和近期公開的政治檔案，從新聞組織、團隊分工、內容來源、發行渠道等方面探究史料說法，期待能揭開這份地下報紙的神秘面紗。

Guang-Ming Pao (《光明報》) was an underground newspaper issued by the Taiwan Province Working Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1948. Published irregularly, this one-page newspaper was mimeographed on a steel plate, with a print run of five or six hundred copies, and only twenty-one issues in total.
In September 1949, uniformed personnel stormed into the campus of Keelung Middle School, cracked down on the clandestine newspaper printing and arrested several staff members involved. The accidental exposure of Guang-Ming Pao preluded the disintegration of the Taiwan Province Working Committee. Intelligence gathered led to the capture of the top cadres, including Cai Xiao-Qian, Chen Zhe-Min, Hong You-Qiao, and Zhang Zhi-Zhong, a fatal blow to the CCP in Taiwan. The Guang-Ming Pao Incident can be regarded as a major turning point in the history of White Terror in the 1950s.
With the archives of the case sealed for several decades, false information has widely spread. This article takes the Wikipedia entry as a starting point, cross-examining recently released political archives and oral interview records. Moreover, organization of the press, division of labor, content and sources, as well as distribution channels were explored in order to unravel the mystery of the rise and demise of this underground newspaper.
