真相的顯與隱 －－論藍博洲二部有關作家和醫生的報導文學

Silence and Revelation: On two volumes of reportage on writers and doctors by Lan Bo-Zhou

凡事皆有真相，而追求真相乃天經地義之事，然而，過程卻並不單純； 有自然變化因素，更有受到人性各種複雜因素所操控，使得真相難以大白。 然而，人類探索真相的好奇之心，與鍥而不捨的精神卻因此被激發而生。台灣社會從一九五○年代開始，流傳著一批神秘人物；他們生死成謎， 家屬及親友長年沉默低調、甚至隱姓埋名，其下一代的社會發展亦大受影響。約四十年之後的一九八七年三月起，台灣當時唯一的報導文學刊物《人 間》雜誌派出記者藍博洲，針對此展開了長期的調查，此後二十年內共完成 了三部享譽文壇的報導，本論文就其中近期完成的二部作品：《消失在歷史 迷霧中的作家身影》（2001）、《消失中的台灣醫界良心》（2005），依據歷史 學中「民眾口述歷史」的觀點，以及報導文學的特殊散文寫作技巧，交叉析 論而得出二點結論－－1.受到刻意壓抑的真相，終將有大白之日。 2.哪裡有不公、不義，報導者就該現身哪裡，不分種族、國界、地域。

There is a truth to everything, and the pursuit of it is an intrinsic desire. Yet the process is not simple: Changes by natural causes and still more the sophisticated human factors may compromise the pursuit. Nevertheless, the curiosity for truth and the persistence is inexorable and thus aroused.Starting from the 1950s, mysteries began circulating in the Taiwanese society about a group of people whom nobody knows if they were dead or alive. Their friends and relatives lead very low profile, silent lives and even hid their names. Their children's advancement in the society is also affected.Forty years later, beginning from March, 1986, “Ren Jian,” the only periodical of reportage in Taiwan of that time, sent reporter Lan Bo-Zhou to launch a long-term investigation on this matter. In the next twenty years he completed three renowned volumes of reportages. This essay focuses on the two latest volumes: “消失在歷史迷霧中的作家身影”(2001)、”消失中的台灣醫界良 心”(2005). Through an analysis from the aspect of oral history and the special prose technique in reportage, this essay concludes as follows: 1. Oppressed truth will one day be revealed. 2. Wherever there is injustice, there the reporter should be, whatever the race, boundary and nation.
