Hsiu-lien Lu – författare

Lu Hsiu-lien’s journey is the story of Taiwan. Through her successive drives for gender equality, human rights, political reform, Taiwan independence, and, currently, environmental protection, Lu has played a key role in Taiwan’s evolution from dictatorship to democracy. The election in 2000 of Democratic Progressive Party leader Chen Shui-bian to the presidency, with Lu as his vice president, ended more than fifty years of rule by the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party).Taiwan’s painful struggle for democratization is dramatized here in the life of Lu, a feminist leader and pro-democracy advocate who was imprisoned for more than five years in the 1980s. Unlike such famous Asian women politicians as Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi, India’s Indira Gandhi, and Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto, Lu Hsiu-lien grew up in a family without political connections. Her impoverished parents twice attempted to give her away for adoption, and as an adult she survived cancer and imprisonment, later achieving success as an elected politician—the first self-made woman to serve with such prominence in Asia.My Fight for a New Taiwan’s rich narrative gives readers an insider''s perspective on Taiwan’s unique blend of Chinese and indigenous culture and recent social transformation.

2004年3月19日下午1點45分，兩顆子彈撼動台灣的民主，也撕裂台灣社會。真相迄今未明，疑點仍有爭議。到底陳義雄是否就是真凶？有無共犯？動機為何？國安為何如此離譜？有無自導自演？九年後的今天，專案小組與台南地檢署均已結案，但是立法院真相調查委員會以及大多數社會大眾仍然不相信官方說法。透過319受害人對於事發經過的完整憶述，以及監察院、刑事局專案小組報告、台南地檢署不起訴處分書、二屆真相調查委員會報告的比對解析，槍擊受害人之一的前副總統呂秀蓮對於319槍擊案有精闢深入的研究，釐清關鍵疑點，掃除民主陰霾。陳義雄是自殺或是他殺？陳義雄真是黃衣禿頭男？二彈一槍或二彈二槍？槍彈是不是唐守義的？離譜的國安勤務!阿扁自導自演？CIA 早已得知真相？誰槍擊誰？本書顛覆您對319的成見！

本書分過去、現在與大未來三階段探討台灣與中美的關係。作者注重「歷史盲點」的釐清，緊抓美中台當前的困境和危機，更是以為下一代擘繪願景的心情在鋪陳統獨之外的新路，以及親美友中的可能。書中的論述涵括古今中外，寰宇四海的物換星移。

◆本書既掀開台灣歷史的黑盒子，更為下一代擘繪未來。呂秀蓮解析大小兩個三角關係的糾葛，更提出「雙兩岸關係」的戰略，開創統獨之外新出路。

◆大兩岸關係：台日韓與美加等民主國家共組「民主太平洋國協」。

◆小兩岸關係：希望中國接受「一個中華」取代一個「中國」，和平共存，謀求兩岸「統合」而非「統一」。

本書回顧過去，更前瞻未來；疼惜台灣，但放眼國際。作者是用歷史的悲憫，去回顧歷史的錯誤和惋惜，更用未來的願景，去擘繪下一代的幸福。
