史明回憶錄：追求理想不回頭
這個人，在中國當過中共的地下情報員，與國民黨軍打過真槍實彈的游擊戰。這個人，謀刺蔣介石未遂亡命日本，多次爆破蔣政權的軍車、鐵軌、派出所。這個人，書寫不朽鉅著《台灣人四百年史》，創立左派革命組織「獨立台灣會」。這個人，陰森戒嚴下兩度冒死潛回台灣，渾身籠罩神秘色彩的最後一位黑名單。
沒錯，除了史明，你想不到第二個名字。
這本書，追憶幼年時期的阿嬤與士林，少年時陣的阿爸與文化協會，求學期間的台北一中與早稻田大學。這本書，以第一人稱寫下七十年革命生涯的種種況味，又以史家視野反芻激越人生衝撞出的諸多智慧。這本書，執意對馬克思主義、社會主義、民族主義、蘇共及中共等嚴肅議題，做出最終版本的完整論述。這本書，講述了一個挫敗的、不斷流亡的革命家的故事，留下了一個自豪的、持續前進的追夢人的身影。
是的，除了《史明回憶錄》，你找不到第二本著作。
98高齡的史明，終於親筆完成這部歷時二十年、堂堂五十萬餘字的回憶錄。你或許知道，他為了理想，不惜捨棄親情、愛情，為了台灣獨立，不惜散盡家產、赴湯蹈火，過著一種秉持純粹之心才能達致的革命人生。但真正的史明遠不只如此。他還是台灣民族史第一位的書寫者，台灣民族主義最重要的理論家。難怪史明會說，這本回憶錄，寫得比《台灣人四百年史》更久、更用力，畢竟他要寫的對象，是個集理論家、歷史家、革命家於一身，為了台灣獨立奮鬥一生的傳奇人物。沒讀完本書，不該說你認識史明！

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.
