內容簡介
Kang-i Sun Chang is Malcolm G. Chace ’56 Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale University. In her memoir, Journey Through the White Terror, she tells the powerful story of her father Paul Sun (1919-2007). Along with numerous others, Sun was imprisoned more than 60 years ago during the “White Terror”, the decade following the withdrawal of Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist government from Mainland China to Taiwan in mid-December 1949. During this time, the Nationalist government implemented a policy of “better to kill ten thousand by mistake than to set one free by oversight,” and as a result, many innocent civilians such as the author’s father became victims of ferocious searches and persecutions. At the time of her father’s arrest, Prof. Chang was not quite six years old; when her father returned home, she was almost sixteen. Having witnessed the injustice of her father’s imprisonment and the freedom their family later enjoyed in America, she felt compelled to write this story.
Prof. Chang’s account of how the family survived the White Terror makes her book one of the most intense and thrilling works on the subject. But the book is also about soul-searching and the healing of a childhood trauma. It is a true story about the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Love and religion in such circumstances prove to be the ultimate deliverance. All this is described in considerable detail in this extraordinary memoir.

名人推薦
“A prize winning scholar and teacher, Kang-i Chang shows another rare gift in this powerful memoir. Journey Through the White Terror is an unforgettable account of a child and family caught in the storm tides of history. Though the subject is deeply emotional, Professor Chang’s clarity and honesty prevail throughout.”—Richard H. Brodhead, President, Duke University
“Compared to the experiences of many White Terror victims, the story of Kang-i Sun Chang’s parents has a happy ending. And what moves us most is not only the deep love that her father and mother shared, allowing them to remain mutually faithful for so long, but also the self-respect and determination to overcome hardship that was born in the midst of their great individual solitude.”—David Der-wei Wang, the Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature, Harvard University
“In this highly original and emotionally evocative work, Kang-i Chang recounts the memoir of her childhood during the White Terror with profound psychological insight into the critical value of family and faith as she and her parents navigate the shifting tides of politics and fortune. And in an unforgettable way, she again reminds us of the great pain carried always by all such survivors, reflecting, in the words of William Faulkner: ‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’ ”—John F. Setaro, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine
“The content [of this book] is striking in its immediacy, heart-warming in its humanity, and as a historical document it is extraordinarily informative about otherwise shadowy events. It is truly a deeply moving story, or collection of stories, that will long stay in my memory.”—F.W. Mote, the late Professor Emeritus of Chinese History, Princeton University
“An incomprehensible accusation, unaccountable acts of benevolence, a sensitive account of difficult times and the story of the growth of a scholar’s mind: such is the content of Journey Through the White Terror, tied up with ironies of fate and happy endings. Kang-i Sun Chang’s family history intertwines with the creation and dissolution of political blocs, shifts in Chinese and Taiwanese identity, and the opening-up of the United States to Asian immigration. It makes Cold War Asia understandable through the gestures of daily life, of sewing, rumors, sweet potatoes, and long-awaited letters.”—Haun Saussy, University Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Chicago

自序
Journey Through the White Terror tells the story of my father Paul Sun, who, like many others, was imprisoned more than 60 years ago during the “White Terror,” the decade following the withdrawal of Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist government from Mainland China to Taiwan in mid-December 1949. During this time, the Nationalist government implemented a policy of “better to kill ten thousand by mistake than to set one free by oversight,” and as a result, many innocent civilians such as my father became victims of ferocious searches and persecutions. At the time of my father’s arrest, I was not quite six years old; when he returned home, I was almost sixteen. Having witnessed the injustice of my father’s imprisonment and the freedom my family later enjoyed in America, I felt compelled to write this story. I have included in the book reflections on my father’s imprisonment and absence during my childhood, as well as accounts of the experience of my other family members and friends. The book concludes with thoughts on my life in the U.S.
But my book is not accusation literature. Neither is it literature of the wounded. On the contrary, this is a book about soul-searching and the healing of a childhood trauma. As I stand at today’s high point and recall the past, I find that I have learned a great deal; I had always thought that the hardships encountered in my youth were a deficiency in my life, but now I discover that they were a spiritual asset. I am grateful for those difficult early life experiences, for they allowed me to acquire maturity quickly while growing up, and allowed me to find a complete self amid shortcomings.
Thus, this book is also about bidding farewell to the White Terror. Although the chapters and passages written in my memoir often relate to the inhumanity of the White Terror, the foundation of the book rests on sketches of real-life heroes in the modern world. Those heroes are often nothing other than modest mentors whose talent and generosity helped us survive the difficult times. It is about aunts and uncles and friends whose contributions to the lives of our family will always be treasured by us.
Here, you will find the story of a pedicab driver who made it possible for a political prisoner to be briefly reunited with his family. You will read how that same driver’s act of generosity—which took place in Taiwan—was returned as a favor to the benefit of another pedicab driver after the lengthy span of fifty years on the mainland, in Beijing. And you will find the story of an unassuming elementary schoolteacher in Taiwan who gave me my earliest lessons in Chinese philosophy, which would later become one of the subjects that I teach in the U.S. Among the book’s most significant stories are those of important literary figures who were family friends. One of them, Chang Wo-chun, assisted our family during a risky journey out of the mainland in 1946. Then there is the story of my uncle Chen Pen-chiang and the novelist Lu Heruo, whose firm adherence to the ideals of socialism led to one of the most significant political uprisings of the post-1949 era in Taiwan. Finally, but far from least among them, there is the story of my parents, who had learned to hear the voice of God. B9Their faith helped sustain them through the difficult journey of the White Terror.
The White Terror in Taiwan generally refers to the period of martial law that began in 1949. But in fact, as early as 1946, people in Taiwan could already sense that catastrophic times could erupt at any moment. Our family must have been among the first Mainlanders to go to Taiwan, as we left China in the spring of 1946. China was still ruled by Chiang Kaishek’s Kuomintang (KMT). A year before that, World War II had just ended, marking a special year of victory for the Chinese, as Japan, the common enemy of all of China, was finally defeated. With Japan’s surrender, Taiwan was restored to Chinese rule after fifty years
