史明口述史
2012年12月21日，在台大一個公開的演講中，中研院台史所教授吳睿人老師如此把史明先生與中研院曹永和院士比擬在一起：他認為，這兩位同一世代的人，同樣對台灣充滿熱情，後者在體制內、學術上為台灣作了無比貢獻；史明先生則堅持在體制外、用行動，為台灣做出同等重要的貢獻…他們同是士林人，因共同研究台灣史結緣，但後來則各自走出不同的道路。
中研院院士曹永和老師在台灣自學十餘載，提出「台灣島史觀」，給台灣歷史一個全新的定位。史明先生流亡日本後，不因時勢混亂而中斷研究，最終撰寫第一本台灣民族史《台灣人四百年史》，加速「台灣意識」萌芽，對二二八事件後的年輕人有深遠影響。
史明，認識他的人都尊稱他為「歐李桑」(□□□□)。年屆九十多歲的高齡，為人謙和，但當他說起自己近一世紀的流亡生涯，你才發覺底蘊在他內心的堅韌與強悍。
那樣的態度是一個即將消逝的世代，爭取獨立的剛毅精神，以及對於台灣歷史、土地以及人民生活的尊重。
在這部口述史裡，說著近代台灣人民的動盪生活。我們也得以在此，遇見年輕史明的夢想與熱情，看著他如何一步步朝著台灣獨立的理想邁進。這是一個左翼青年渴望獨立的真實實踐，也是台灣一個世代奮鬥掙扎，尋求認同的縮影。島嶼台灣，有許多值得探索的意義。
本書共以三冊《穿越紅潮：1918-1949》《橫過山刀：1950-1974》《陸上行舟：1975-2010》收錄史明長達近一世紀的生命歷程，希望藉由描述這個一生堅定志向的革命家，從啟蒙到獨立的過程，讓讀者體悟大時代下，台灣人的生命價值。

About the author
Su Beng
6 books2 followersSu Beng was born November 9, 1918 in the Shilin district of Taipei, Taiwan. After graduating from Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan with a degree in political science and economics in 1942, he left for China where he worked undercover with the Chinese Communists (1942–1949). For years, he averted the Chinese Communists’ bids for him to join the party. Finally he escaped from Qingdao, China to Taiwan, just as the Chinese Nationalist Kuomintang soldiers were retreating to Taiwan.
Having returned to Taiwan for about a year, he established the Taiwan Independence Armed Corps in 1950 which plotted for the assassination of Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek. When the Taiwan Independence Armed Corps’ stash of weapons were discovered hidden on land owned by Su Beng’s grandmother in 1951, Su Beng was forced to go into hiding.
After several months on the run, he finally fled to Japan in May 1952 by stowing away in boat exporting bananas. He served four months of detention for attempting to illegally enter the country, but when the Kuomintang reported him missing and wanted for his involvement in the plot to assassinate Chiang Kai Shek, the Japanese government granted him political asylum. Later on in 1954, Su Beng opened up a noodle shop restaurant named 新珍味 (Hoklo (Taiwanese): sin-tin-bi, Mandarin: xīn zhēn wei), which translates as New Gourmet, in Ikebukuro, Japan. Su Beng used the restaurant/residence as a base to continue his work with the underground Taiwan Independence movement. It was also here that he trained burgeoning Taiwan Independence activists and began writing Taiwan’s 400 Year History. The Japanese version of Taiwan’s 400 Year History was first published in 1962, the Chinese-language version was published in 1980 and an abridged English version was published in 1986.
In 1993 Su Beng returned to reside in Taipei, Taiwan. The following year, April 1994, he began the Taiwan Independence Action motorcade, which he conceived as a way to raise the Taiwanese people’s consciousness. The motorcade makes its rounds from Taipei county to Taipei city, every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, delivering messages calling for Taiwan’s independence and the normalization of Taiwan as a country.
Labeled a radical, violent militant, and communist, he has been dubbed the “Che Guevara of Taiwan”; there have been several tall tales about Su Beng’s controversial life decisions, one of which includes electing to have a vasectomy when he was in his twenties while working undercover for the Communists in China.
