Beginning of Democratization

Around 100000 people join the Formosa Incident, among them, 152 arrested, and almost 50 indicted.

President Chiang Ching-kuo [蔣經國 ] announced the lifting of martial law on July 14th, 1987. Issued in 1949, Martial law had been valid for 38 years before its official lifting on July 15th, 1987.Chiang, the initiator of Taiwan’s democratization, died on Jan. 13, 1988.

What it means to lift the Martial Law?

• The ban on establishing new parties lifted.

• The ban on newspapers lifted on Jan. 1st, 1988.

• (No longer only China Times, United Daily News, and other newspapers controlled directly by KMT.)

• Civilians no longer tried by military court of law.

• Demonstrations became legal.

• The ban on visiting relatives on the Mainland lifted. (See Hsiao Sa’s “My Relatives in Hong Kong”)

“Lai Suo”[賴索 ] (Oct. 1979)• “Time” as the most important element.

• “Lai Suo, a citizen of Taibei, June 1978, a traveler through time and space.” (p. 81)

• The plotline of the present: “It was June 24, 1978, a day of no particular significance in a predictably screwed up world, a day as yet without any meaning whatsoever.” (p. 76)

• This is the day Lai Suo saw Mr. Han on TV, and decided to meet him, which he did in the end.

This work is from “Google map”(https://maps.google.com.tw/) and used subject to the fair use doctrine of the Taiwan Copyright Act Article 52 and 65 by GET

https://maps.google.com.tw/


Biography of Lai Suo• From a Taiwanese family, lived in a traditional

Taiwanese neighborhood around Dadaocheng.• Spent nine year in the prison, released when he was

30 (1957).• He started to work for his brother after returning the

society, got married when he was 36 (1963), and now he’s 51 (1979).

• The story develops in a time span of more than 30 years, starting from the time when Lai was still a teenager, with the past and present being presented in parallels, in order to emphasize the theme of change.

• The plotline of the past makes Lai Suo’s life an epitome of postwar Taiwan history.

• Japanese Rule (1895-1945)

• Lai Suo might be born in 1927, the 33rd year of Japanese Rule in Taiwan.

• He was taught by a Japanese teacher in 1943.

• (Coincidently, Japan introduced a 6-year compulsory education system in Taiwan this year.)

• In 1945, he was 18 and became a fruit peddler at Danshui River around Taipei.

• The Retrocession (1945)

• “The two sides of the road were covered with straw mats, and some Japanese were kneeling on the mats with their heads bowed. . . . With the Japanese having surrendered not long before, the native people weren’t sure what was best to do. Lai Suo’s father had worked for the Japanese . . .”

• White Terror during KMT political domination (1947-1987)

• The 228 Incident happened in 1947, and, in around 1948, Lai started to work for Pan-Asian Magazine, a pro-independence magazine.

• Taiwan’s booming economy and urban culture (the late 1970s)

• Lai Suo’s personal life:

• I: out of jail when he was 30; imprisoned for 9 years.

• II: got married 1963 when he was 36; he had been married for 15 years. He was 18 in 1945, the year of the Retrocession.

• III: worked for Pan-Asian Magazine when he was 21 (1948), and became a member of the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Alliance.

• IV: switch between his marriage life and imprisonment (when he was informed of his mom’s death).

• V: how Lai’s parents had look forward to his prospects; planned to visit his invalid cousin Ah-zong; characterization of Lai’s wife.

His wife wasn’t sleeping, she was wearing her pink Triumph underwear and was bathed in perfume from head to toe. These were her little stratagems, the little extras, the resourcefulness that accounted for their three children and the two apartments they had acquired at a court auction. Whenever her relatives from the countryside came to visit she would take them to Taipei to nightclub shows and treat them to a meal out at some nice hotel restaurant. (p.86)



These country folk never ceased to be amazed by the dazzle of the city their mouths hanging open, unable to utter a syllable. At these times Lai Suo’s wife would always be extremely excited, and he would be exceptionally warm and friendly, a look of helplessness showing from the corners of his eyes. On this particular night her passion was uncontrollable, and despite her forty years and rather plump belly she was acting just like a little girl, giggling and pressing her 132-pound body on a totally limp Lai Suo. (p.86) Source: Huang Fan. (1991)Michael S. Duke(Eds.),

• VI: traveled from his suburban home to Taipei; made a call to the TV station. The dialogue between Lai and the girl from the TV station restaurant is politically quite significant.

“Could you tell me if there is going to be an appearance today by a Mr. Han as reported in the papers?” (p.88)

(It turns out that Lai Suo made a call to the restaurant, not the operator.)

“ But surely you know that Mr. Han Zhiyuan is coming to speak?” (p.88)

“ Which Han Zhiyuan ? Is he on a variety show or in a soap opera?” she said, beginning to get impatient. “I know all the famous actors and singers here. What’s this Han Zhiyuan do? You don’t know the information desk’s number, right ?” (p.88)







• “He, he just came back from Japan.”

• “That’s strange. The only one who’s come back from Japan is Teresa Teng (Deng Lijun). I’ll tell you the number of the information desk, okay?”(p.88)

• [Later on when Lai Suo entered the TV station studio, one of the cameramen also told him to “check Studio Two” because “there isn’t anything very interesting about this show.” But Lai Suo didn’t want to answer him.]



• VII: in the hospital, then went to a restaurant near the TV station on Renai Road (so it was CTV, China Television Company).

• VIII: a show began in the restaurant.

• IX: Lai’s recollection of his life, and how all the important things in his life had been arranged by his elder brother.

• X: the TV show named Contemporary Spotlight which interviewed Mr. Han; the interview is mixed with what Mr. Han said 30 years ago.

• XI: Went back home.

• In the restaurant near the TV station, Lai drank a cup of coffee, listening to the singing and guitar performance of a young man with long hair, but he felt unfitted in the audience:

• “He held a guitar and plucked away at it while he sang a song in English. His expression was full of life, and he sang with abandon. . .”

• “Thank you, thank you, once more? Okay, okay!” The youth said. Lai Suo could not sit there any longer. These people, their fashion, elegance, wealth—this imbecile on stage! Lai Suo was so disgusted with the sounds of laughter and music in his ears, the pretentious gestures, that he felt forced to stand up . . . (p. 92)



• Lai Suo sat on a bench before he crossed the road and entered the TV station, asking himself:

• “What the hell was I thinking of doing?”• . . . Perhaps he shouldn’t always be running

away. By now his wife had certainly cleaned up the kitchen table and they were all happily sitting around the TV, the children all in a circle. . . . He was the head of the family . . . His feet propped up on the coffee table as he laughed at the sitcom, his wife and kids laughing along. This was Lai Suo’s family’s routine, their evening entertainment. (p. 92)



“Nineteen Days of the New Party” (Jan, 1989)

• The Historical Background.

• Kuo Wan-jung [ 郭婉容 ], former Finance Minister, announced in Sep. 1988 the reintroduction of the tax on share profits [ 證所稅 ], which made the number of stock exchange go down from 8900 to 5700 in just 19 days, thus the title of the story.

• This, according to the mainlanders like the narrator and Mrs. Jia, could be Kuo’s conspiracy with her cousin Peng Ming-min [ 彭明敏 ] to undermine the ruling KMT. (p. 144-5)

Taiwanese vs. Mainlanders• Taiwanese

• KMT: Lee Teng-hui [李登輝 ] and Kuo Wan-jung.

• Peng Ming-min and other DPP politicians.

• Mainlanders

• KMT: Yu Kuo-hwa [俞國華 ]. (Prime Minister)

• Ni Wen-ya [倪文亞 ]. (President of Legislative Yuan)

• Shen of Wei-king [威京小沈 ]. (Stock market tycoon)

• The female protagonist and her husband, Dingwu [定吾 ], a geography teacher.

• The narrator’s cousin.

• Mrs. Jia from Min Sheng district [民生社區 ].

• Many of the investors who became supporters of DPP.

Concern for MainlandersCriticism of Lee’s KMT

As they made their escape, they nearly knocked down a white-haired old man carrying a wooden placard with a photo of the late Chiang Ching-kuo and mumbling to all and sundry like he was chanting a sutra, If Chiang Ching-kuo were alive, he’d only have to say the word and the market would be closed, or the levy could be suspended for a year. The problem would have been solved at once!” When they looked more carefully at the wooden placard, they saw on each side a row of characters done with brush and ink: Money to go home to the mainland tied down; Kuomintang hits rock bottom. [返鄉費套牢，國民黨跌停 ]” (p.156)

According to another conspiracy theory, what is behind the scene of this policy is the political struggle between the two highest leaders of KMT.

Just the day before, they had another equally thrilling discussion: it was Premier Yu Kuo-hwa who argued most strongly for the unpopular levy, and his purpose was to make life difficult for President Lee Teng-hui, to make sure that during the National Day celebrations, not only the regular troops would be on parade but also a hundred thousand protesting investors. (p.145)



And the day before yesterday, the same conspiracy theory had another twist: it was Lee Teng-hui who was behind it all, and his purpose was to turn Yu into a mere figurehead, to strip him of real decision-making power in the finance sector. If the market plummeted as a result, the blame was sure to fall on Yu, who had never enjoyed any popular support anyway. Lee would come to the rescue, thus presenting himself as the saviour of the market. To kill two birds with one stone-that was what he wanted. (p.145) Source: Chu Tien-hsin. (1989) .

The Stock Investor version of Kangaroo Mom• The way Mimi placed an order in KFC and how she

cleared her own dining table made the unnamed female protagonist feel that she is a stranger. (Mimi didn’t do chores at home, and she, Maomao, and Dingwu didn’t know what the mother do at home.)

• After her investment in the stock market, she started to care about international news, but was driven back to the kitchen. (p. 147)

• Didn’t even know the phone number of Mrs. Jia, and she was not like other investors, because she did not lose a lot of money on the stock investment.

• She was actually disconnected from her family and the society. Her only connection with the society was the

brokerage.



When the family became strangers, the strangers become familiar

• … Dingwu suggested going to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to watch the fireworks, surprising everyone with his zest. . . . God, she couldn’t stand it! She wished, oh how she wished she could do what yesterday’s leaflet urged her to do and go at once to the Ta Tung Elementary School for the rally organized by the DPP central committee! How she wished she could wave the flag she’d chosen for herself, and join those strangers she knew so well, even better than Mimi and Maomao and Dingwu. Yes, she wished to shout with others, . . . It really didn’t matter whether it had anything to do with the tax on share profits. (p. 160)



“She was well and truly grounded [during the four-day Mid-autumn vacation]. Even when she found the time to go out, there wasn’t much she could do as the stock market was closed for four days. Only then did it occur to her that although she and Mrs. Jia had become as close as two old schoolmates over the past two months, their friendship was restricted to the brokerage and the fast food restaurant: the didn’t even have each other’s home phone number to exchange news. She felt like a bird that had become separated from the flock, completely out of touch with its kind, and missing desperately her days of communal life . . .” (p. 151) Evening papers became her only connection with the world.



The Corruption of KMTAnd then her cousin told her a string of rumours about

how the big players had been tipped off in advance and come out unscathed—Lei, for example, had been unloading his shares in China Manmade Fibres every day for some time even though the market then was surging ahead. Why? That was the KMT rewarding him for his handsome patriotic gestures in the past! Hsu Yu-yang of Far East Textiles, that chap who was always on good terms with the KMT and the administration, got rid of two million shares of Far East Textiles in his Oriental Securities last week, (p.152)Source: Chu Tien-hsin. (1989) . Renditions No. 35-36



even though he’d always been so keen to see his company’s shares do well in the market; Chung Hsin of the Ku family had been selling every day since mid-September; Cathay Investment and Trust dumped over six hundred million in two hours last Saturday lunch-time; and Ch’iu of Jung-An had been told to “stay on the sidelines this time” by someone high up in the Party at golf a few months ago, and he’d unloaded all his shares in Taiwan Pineapple and Taiwan Agriculture & Forestry some two weeks ago. “So no one was taken in except me. I heard nothing, and like a fool I bought into Taiwan Pineapple!” (p.152)Source: Chu Tien-hsin. (1989) . Renditions No. 35-36



So They Started to Cheer for DPP … if only for the next 19 days.

• The investors were not really interested in politics, according to Dingwu.

• Both the female protagonist and Mrs. Jia did not know the location of Legislative Yuan.

• The female protagonist took a flag with green and white stripes, and “flushed with a strange sensation”; Mrs. Jia also waved the flag “as if for fun,” claiming “Who cares! We support those who support us.” (p. 157)
