    When I was young, around 13 to 17 years old!  The author forgot that at about that time, I saw a person whose writing style was very arrogant and unique, and I already knew that it was beyond my reach in this life. That person's name was Li Ao.  (Baidu Search Literature Museum)

    He was a character that the author admired at that time, and he was actually still alive, because all the characters in the books I read at that time had passed away.

    Of course, many years later, when I saw that Huang Yi was also alive, one of them admired him as a child, and the other admired him as a young man.

    ? Some of the following content is not the author¡¯s approval, but I have no right to say anything. Anyway, I just took a look at it to remember the time I lost when I was young, and how everyone is aging step by step and saying goodbye.

    One of the Demon Guardians - Li Ao

    Li Ao (1935), also known as Aozhi, is a writer and political commentator.  Graduated from the History Department of National Taiwan University.  In the 1960s, he advocated Westernization in the magazine "Wenxing" and defended Hu Shi, setting off a cultural debate between China and the West, and became a celebrity in Taiwan's cultural circles.

    In the 1970s, he became a political prisoner for criticizing Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship.  Since the 1980s, in addition to research, writing, and teaching, he has been actively engaged in public speaking.

    In 1935, Li Ao was born in Harbin, China.  Because his father received public funds from Jilin Province when he studied at Peking University, he changed his place of origin to Fuyu County, Jilin. Later, the family's place of origin was officially changed to Fuyu, Jilin. Li Ao believed that his ancestors may be from the Miao ethnic group in Yunnan, China.

    In 1949, Li Ao moved to Taiwan from Shanghai with his parents. After settling in Taichung, he entered the second grade of Provincial Taichung No. 1 Middle School.  He once conspired to defect with his mentor Yan Qiao. In his third year of high school, his teacher Yan Qiao (son of Fuzhou Mayor Yan Hu, brother of writer Hua Yan, and posthumously recognized as a martyr by China in 2005) was arrested.

    Li Ao was still young and his teachers were busy in various places.  And be forgiven.  Because of the friendship between teachers and students, Li Ao took great care of his wife and three children, and took a break from school to study at home. In 1954, he was admitted to the Legal Studies Department of National Taiwan University (NTU) with equivalent academic qualifications (the predecessor of the Judicial Section of the Taiwanese Law Department).  Disagreeable, he voluntarily dropped out of school, re-entered the History Department of National Taiwan University, and graduated in 1959.

    In 1957, Xiao Mengneng, the son of Xiao Tongzi, the former president of the Central News Agency, founded the liberal monthly "Wenxing".  When Hu Shi passed away, the special issue of "Wenxing" magazine commemorating Hu Shi sold three editions.  Since then, "Wenxing" has become one of Taiwan's most important cultural publications.

    In 1961, 26-year-old Li Ao retired from the army as a probationary officer. Xiao boldly activated him and entrusted him with important tasks.  At that time, Xiao Mengneng, Zhu Wanjian, and Li Ao could be called the iron triangle of literary stars.

    At that time, Li Ao¡¯s article played a great role.  He emphasized anti-feudalism and Westernization. His works such as "The Old Man and the Stick" and "Soliloquy under Tradition" were quite influential and became famous in Taiwan. They caused great shock in the student circle and had an impact on the thinking of the people at the time.

    Since 1961, when Li Ao wrote an article to treat people who talk about Chinese and Western culture, he has collaborated with the "China Magazine" founded by legislator Hu Qiuyuan and "Yangming" published by Cultural University professor Shi Zichen.  And long-term writing battles for magazines such as "Cultural Flag" published by director Zou Lang.

    With the image of a fledgling young man, he worked with the "United Daily News", scholars from Academia Sinica and many scholars from the Department of Philosophy of National Taiwan University to fight against many scholars in the media, and has since become a well-known figure in the cultural world.

    In 1963, Li Ao took over the post of editor-in-chief of "Wenxing".  In 1965, "Wenxing" magazine and Li Ao were involved in accusations of treason (involving the pro-communist conspiracy of Harvard University professor Fairbank). Xiao Tongzi, a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, asked "Wenxing Bookstore" to close down.  With so many creditors at home, Xiao Mengneng had to flee to the island for temporary refuge. Before leaving, he entrusted the most trusted Li Ao with his family property worth more than 20 million yuan (NT$, which could buy half a street at the time) for safekeeping.

    Yin Haiguang, professor of the Department of Philosophy at National Taiwan University, was forced to resign. Wang Shijie, director of Academia Sinica, repeatedly submitted his resignation for this reason. Guo Tingyi, director of the Institute of Modern History of Academia Sinica, went to the United States and never returned.  and "United Daily News" came under fire.

    Because the accusation involved Professor Fairbank of Harvard University, the Pacific Society and the Ford Foundation (the Ford Foundation with Fairbank as the core was later involved in the Charter 08 incident, it was accused by some people in mainland China of being related to the Masonic conspiracy).  As a result, Sino-US relations experienced many ups and downs, but Li Ao escaped unscathed.

    In his early years, Li Ao was a critic of old culture and rarely talked about contemporary political, economic and social issues. His criticism of China's old culture was basically from the perspective of modernization and Westernization. Of course, there are many elements of liberalism in this modernization; so  His influence on "Wenxing" was mainly limited to the cultural field.  Later, more political criticism appeared in "Li Ao Qianqiu Commentary".

    The first time he was imprisoned: At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was under the authoritarian rule of the Chinese Kuomintang. Li Ao opposed his dictatorship and violated the authority. In 1966, Li Ao published "History and Human Elephants", "Education and Face Makeup", "Talk about Ancient and Modern History", "The Crow Crows Again" and "  Books such as "Sun Wukong and Me" are the most popular books of the time.The person who was banned did not go to jail for it.

    But the story of his conspiracy with (underground Communist Party member) Yan Qiao to smuggle into the mainland in 1953 was uncovered, and he was prosecuted for obstructing official duties in 1967.  He was later sentenced to one year in prison by the court, but his university mentor worked hard to get a suspended sentence and was unable to serve in prison.

    During the White Terror, Li Ao helped Peng Mingmin escape in order to protect human rights and avoid persecution. After Peng fled in 1970, he was confessed by Xie Congmin and Wei Tingchao. In addition, Li Ao obtained a list of political prisoners who were persecuted and imprisoned in Taiwan (including Communist Party members, *  * persons, etc.), and wanted to send this list to the United Nations and human rights organizations to report. Li Ao forwarded the list to Amnesty International Martin, but it was taken away by * persons in Japan without Li Ao¡¯s consent, that is,  Published in other publications, Li Ao was also implicated and sentenced.

    In 1971, Li Ao was sentenced to ten years in prison and deprived of public rights for six years for the crime of civil disorder specified in Article 100 of the Criminal Law of the Republic of China. After the first instance verdict, Li Ao did not appeal.  Later, upon the death of Chiang Kai-shek, the amnesty was changed to eight years and six months.  In 1976, 41-year-old Li Ao was released.  Actual dates of imprisonment, totaling five years and eight months.

    Second imprisonment (1981-1982): recorded as an ordinary criminal case, namely the case of Xiao Mengneng falsely accusing Li Ao.  According to Li Ao, it was essentially the second time he was imprisoned as a political prisoner. The Kuomintang government took advantage of Xiao Mengneng's false accusation against Li Ao to suppress Li Ao again.

    The root cause of this case is that Xiao Mengneng abandoned his first wife Zhu Wanjian, who had shared joys and sorrows for forty years. Li Ao spoke uprightly, thus offending Xiao Mengneng and his concubine Wang Jianfen.

    Li Ao said in his own words that I was a witness who worked with the couple in "Wenxing" for many years. I saw with my own eyes how Zhu Wanjian helped Xiao Mengneng earn these properties with both gentleness and firmness. Now that he is kicked out like this, I cannot remain silent. I want to  Fight against injustice.

    I paid a dear price for this injustice.  Xiao Mengneng was actually instigated by his concubine. He fell out of love and was ruthless. He used the fact that I helped him manage the Crystal Building as an entry point to falsely accuse me of embezzlement.

    ¡°At first, Judge Chen Lianhuan of the Taipei District Court found Li Ao not guilty. However, after reaching the High Court, judges Lin Huang, Huang Jianqing, and Gu Jincai wanted to follow the trend and manipulate power, and sentenced Li Ao to half a year in prison.  Li Ao said in his own words: The content of the verdict was so strange that it was bizarre.

    The first and third judges did not recognize the handwritten evidence.  The second and third judges actually refused to recognize the scientific identification.  The third and third judges actually tampered with the transcript.  The fourth and third judges actually planted evidence on their behalf.  Five or three judges fabricated spouses.  Six or three judges actually distorted reasoning.  7. The third judge was completely ignorant of banking operations.
