駱文森及其時代——以1970、80年代台灣民主運動為中心

Wen-Sen Luo and His Era──Taiwanese Democratic Movements during the 1970s and the 1980s

駱文森是一位媒體工作者，伴隨著台灣從威權走向民主時代。他畢生致力於協助朝日新聞在台灣的採訪報導，其特殊的經歷讓日本學界讚嘆不絕。受教育期間，遭遇戰爭變革，主權移轉，社會形態大幅度改變，在如此逆境中，確立他正直、堅毅的性格，也成就他語文俱佳的能力。
國民政府接收台灣後，國家與政黨關係失去平衡，國民黨獨攬政權，其黨員的特殊性有別於一般民眾。他在成為黨員後，其身分使得在戒嚴時期能夠出行台灣，遊歷世界增廣見聞，暸解國際局勢動態，並啟發他讓世界認識台灣的信念。於是，他奔走於國外各大城市之間，透過國際媒體傳達台灣各種社會與政治運動相關的時事資訊，對台灣民主化發展的過程，有著一定的影響力。

Wen-Sen Luo was a journalist who accompanied Taiwan’s transition from authoritarianism to democracy. He dedicated his life to assisting Asahi Shimbun covering local news in Taiwan. Japanese scholars are awed by his extraordinary experience. As a student, he endured war and revolution, the transfer of sovereignty, and large-scale societal changes. Such adversities formed his integrity and perseverance and honed his excellent language skills. After the Nationalist government took over Taiwan, the relation between the state and the political party lost its balance. Kuomintang monopolized the governmental power, giving its members superior status over the general public. Luo became a member of Kuomintang and utilized these privileges to travel outside of Taiwan. His travels broadened his global view and understanding of international relations and inspired him to let the world learn about Taiwan. His visits to various major foreign cities, sharing news of Taiwanese social and political activities with international media, have definite influence on the democratic development of Taiwan.
