The Masses magazine (March 1993-April 1994) and the radio station ＂Voice of the Masses＂ (June 1994–December 1998) were the last wave of dissident left-wing media in Taiwan in the twentieth century. This study conducted an in-depth interview with the founding members, including Chang Ching-Tse, to discuss the origin of the political non-nationalist political movement in the 1970s and its subsequent development. Chang experienced judicial persecution when he served as the mayor of Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County. After fleeing to the United States in 1977, Chang was exposed to the left-wing ideology of oversea students and compatriots, leading to sociopolitical movements with a strong class consciousness. Through protests held by antinuclear, environmental, and labour movements, the left-wing group established a path for the peasants and working class in Taiwan. Consequently, The Masses and Voice of the Masses served as a media platform for the quasi-political party against the Kuomintang. A fierce political divide conflict between the pro-unification and pro-independence people identified with China and those with Taiwan occurred during the Taiwanese municipal and provincial elections of 1994, and the strong class consciousness exhibited by Voice of the Masses peaked the assembly of protesters. However, Taiwan's first-ever direct presidential election in 1996 symbolised and highlighted the identification of geography and the state apparatus similar to the political development in countries with established democracies. Consequently, the class consciousness of the working class in Taiwan was remarkably faded as the democratic and national consciousness of the bourgeoisie emerged as the new cultural hegemony. Given the fact that the left-wing movement led by Chang and his comrades began to decline and resulted in the demise of The Masses and Voice of the Masses. Nonetheless, the even had brought a significant impact been on the development of the left-wing movement in Taiwan ever since. |
