When I was young, about 13 to 17 years old! The author forgets, it was about that time, when I saw a person whose writing was very arrogant and different from the others, I already knew that the author was beyond the reach of this life, and that person was called Li Ao.

It is a character that the author admired at that time, and he is still alive, because the characters in the books I saw at that time were all ancient.

Of course, many years later, I saw that Huang Yi was also alive, one of these two people was admired when he was young, and the other was admired when he was young.

Some of the following content is not the author's agreement, but the author has no right to say anything, in short, just take a look, remember the time left by my youth, and everyone is moving towards aging and seeing you again step by step.

One of the guardians of the Demon Hero, the Demon Hero - Li Ao

Li Ao (1935), also known as Ao Zhi, was a writer and political commentator. Graduated from the Department of History, National Taiwan University. In the 1960s, he advocated Westernization in the magazine "Wenxing", defended Hu Shih, set 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's dictatorship. Since the 1980s, in addition to research, writing, and teaching, he has been actively engaged in public speaking.

Li Ao was born in Harbin, China, in 1935. Because his father received public funds from Jilin Province when he was studying at Peking University, he changed his hometown to Fuyu County, Jilin Province, and later the family's hometown was officially changed to Jilin Fuyu, and Li Ao thought that his ancestors might be Miao in Yunnan, China.

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

Li Ao was pardoned because of his young age and the fact that his division commander was running in all directions. In 1954, he was admitted to the Law Department of National Taiwan University (National Taiwan University) (the predecessor of the Judicial Group of the Faculty of Law of National Taiwan University) with the same academic qualifications. Re-examination to enter the Department of History of National Taiwan University. He graduated in 1959.

In 1957, Xiao Mengneng, the son of Xiao Tongzi, the former director of the Central News Agency, founded the liberal monthly magazine "Wenxing". At the time of Hu Shih's death, the Wenxing magazine sold three editions in honor of Hu Shih, and 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 pre-officer. Xiao boldly activated. Entrusted with important tasks. At that time, Xiao Mengneng, Zhu Wanjian, and Li Ao could be called the Wenxing Iron Triangle.

Then. Li Ao's articles played a great role, he emphasized anti-feudalism and Westernization, and his "The Old Man and the Stick", "Monologue under Tradition", etc. It was quite influential and began to be famous in Taiwan, causing a great shock in the student circle and also impacting the thinking of the people of the time.

Since 1961, when Li Ao published the article "Treating People Who Talk About Chinese and Western Cultures", he has been engaged in long-term pen battles with magazines such as "China Magazine" founded by legislator Hu Qiuyuan, "Yang Ming" published by Professor Shi Zichen of Culture University, and "Cultural Flag" published by director Zou Lang.

As a fledgling young man, he joined forces with scholars from United Daily News, Academia Sinica, and many scholars from the Department of Philosophy of National Taiwan University, and many scholars from the media to resist many scholars, and since then he has become a well-known figure in the cultural circles.

In 1963, Li Ao took over the post of editor-in-chief of Wenxing. In 1965, when the "Wenxing" magazine and Li Ao were involved in the traitorous accusation (involving the pro-communist conspiracy of Harvard University professor Fairbank in the United States), Xiao Tongzi, a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, asked the "Wenxing Bookstore" to close down, and the creditors were surplus, and Xiao Mengneng had to flee to the island for temporary refuge, and before leaving, he entrusted his family property of more than 20 million yuan (NT$, which could buy half a street at the current value) to Li Ao, the most trusted person, for safekeeping.

Yin Haiguang, a professor at the Department of Philosophy at National Taiwan University, was forced to resign, Wang Shijie, president of the Academia Sinica, repeatedly submitted his resignation, Guo Tingyi, director of the Institute of Modern History of the Academia Sinica, went to the United States and did not return, and the United Daily News was criticized.

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, and was accused by some people in Chinese mainland of being related to the Freemasonic conspiracy), Sino-US relations were very turbulent, but Li Ao retreated.

In his early years, Li Ao was a critic of the old culture, and rarely talked about contemporary political, economic, and social issues; his criticism of the old Chinese culture was basically from the perspective of modernization and Westernization, and of course there were many liberal elements in this modernization; therefore, his influence on "Wen Xing" was mainly limited to the cultural field. Later, in the "Li Ao Qianqiu Commentary", more political criticism appeared.

In 1966, Li Ao published "History and Human Images", "Education and Facebook", "Talking about the Past and the Present", "The Crow Cries Again", "Sun Wukong and I" and other books, which were banned by those in power and were not imprisoned.

However, in 1953, he conspired with Yan Qiao, a member of the underground Communist Party, to smuggle himself into the mainland, and in 1967 he was prosecuted for "obstruction of official business". Later, he was sentenced to one year in prison by the court, but his university mentor ran for many ways and was unable to be imprisoned for execution.

In 1970, after Peng fled in 1970, he was confessed by Xie Congmin and Wei Tingchao, and in addition, Li Ao obtained a list of persecuted and imprisoned political prisoners in Taiwan (including the Communist Party, Taiwan independence figures, etc.), and wanted to send this list to the "United Nations" and "human rights organizations" to denounce, and Li Ao transferred the list to "Amnesty International" Martin, however, was taken away by Taiwan independence activists in Japan, and was published in his Taiwan independence publications without Li Ao's consent, so that Li Ao was also implicated and sentenced to prison.

In 1971, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison and deprived of public power for 6 years for the crime of "civil strife" under Article 100 of the Criminal Law of the Republic of China. Later, when Chiang Zhongzheng (Chiang Kai-shek) died, the amnesty was changed to eight years and six months. In 1976, at the age of 41, Li Ao was released. The actual date of imprisonment, totaling five years and eight months.

Second imprisonment (1981-1982): Recorded as an ordinary criminal case, namely the case of "Siu Meng-neng falsely accused Li Ao". According to Li Ao, it is essentially the second time that a political prisoner has been imprisoned, and the Kuomintang government used the "Xiao Mengneng false accusation against Li Ao" case to "ban and fight" Li Ao again.

The root cause of this case is that Xiao Mengneng abandoned his haired wife Zhu Wanjian, who had shared weal and butter for 40 years, and Li Ao spoke up, which angered Xiao Mengneng and his concubine Wang Jianfen.

Li Ao said, "I am a witness who has worked with the couple in "Wenxing" for many years, and I have seen with my own eyes how Zhu Wanjian helped Xiao Mengneng earn these assets with both grace and firmness, and now that he has been swept away like this, I can't be silent, I want to fight against injustice.

I paid a high price for this fight. Xiao Mengneng was actually instigated by his concubine, turned his face ruthlessly and unjustly, and used me to help him take care of the Crystal Mansion as a starting point, and falsely accused me of encroachment. 」

At first, Judge Chen Lianhuan of the Taipei District Court acquitted Li Ao, but after arriving at the "High Court", Judges Lin Huang, Huang Jianqing, and Gu Jincai wanted to play and play power, and sentenced Li Ao to prison for half a year. Li Ao said: "The content of the verdict has reached a bizarre level.

Judges 1 and 3 did not admit the handwritten notes. The second and third judges did not admit the scientific examination. 3. The three judges went so far as to tamper with the transcript. Fourth, the third judge actually planted evidence on his behalf. 5. The third judge actually fabricated his spouse. Sixth, the third judge has distorted reason. 7. The three judges were ignorant of the bank's operations. (To be continued......)
