"From his account of the drafting of the 1964 'Declaration of Taiwan's Self-Help'(「台灣自救宣言」), we can see not only how Xie Congmin(謝聰敏) was influenced by 'Non-Taiwan-born Chinese' Professor Yin Haiguang(殷海光), but also sense the possibility of relating liberalism to nationalism---in light of 'sympathetic/empathetic feeling of the mind/heart'or the similar psychological and reasoning process. As a sequel of sorts, in the wake of his release from the prison in 1970, Lei Zhen(雷震), in his'Survival Salvation Proposal'(「救亡圖存獻議」), had followed and included the idea of 'promptly announcing the establishment of a „Chinese Taiwan Democratic Nation '(「中華台灣民主國」). Shortly, when the Republic of China had lost its international status in the U.N. in 1971, the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Yang Xikun(楊西崑), even suggested the U.S Ambassador to China, R.O.C., Walter P. McCaughy, that the 'Chinese Republic of Taiwan' should be used as the way out. To go further down this road, once again, Zhang Zhongdong(張忠棟), a professor in the Department of History at National Taiwan University, who, after the self-immolation event of Cheng Nan-rong(鄭南榕) in 1989, had finally decided to turn away from his previous pro-China position associated with the China Forum of the United Daily News to come to that of the bereaved Widow Ye Julan (葉菊蘭), joining her in advocating Taiwan's independence. Arguably, such a stand was even closer to the democratized political reality after the lifting of the Martial law. The above-mentioned 'Taiwan Independence' propositions, whether it was derived from liberal beliefs or based on the government's responsibility to the people,or even the idea of 'keeping abreast with the times' resulting from having had a common life together in a place for a period, had all come from 'Non-Taiwan-born (Mainland) Chinese' elites. Through the type analysis approach, this article attempts to sort out their reasons for so advocating in the post-WWII Taiwan. By so doing , this might help break up the stereotype that only 'Taiwanese'had been, were, or are for Taiwan Independence.On the other hand, it can also be taken as a review of whether the government of Republic of China under the present leadership of the Democratic Progressive Party has already been independent or how such an independence it really is." |
