中国历来有不惧死亡、秉笔直书、记述史实的传统,鲁迅先生称之为中国的脊梁。台湾历史上就有这么一个人,身处战火纷飞的岁月,却将一腔热血倾注于一部鸿篇巨著《台湾通史》。他是一个热爱祖国、恪守祖国传统文化、保存台湾文献的智者,身上洋溢着深受传统文化浸染的执著精神。他就是今日中国国民党荣誉主席连战的祖父连横。他以言立志,在追寻精神高地的路上,不断探索,笔耕不辍,耗尽心血,无疑是鲁迅先生口中的“中国的脊梁”。 China has always had the fear of death, upholding straight books, and describing the tradition of historical facts. Mr. Lu Xun calls it the backbone of China. In the history of Taiwan there is such a person, who is in a war-torn years, devoting himself to a monumental masterpiece “General History of Taiwan.” He is a wise man who loves the motherland, abide by the traditional culture of the motherland and preserves the Taiwanese literature, and is full of perseverance deeply immersed in traditional culture. He is the grandfather Lian Heng, Lien Chan, Honorary Chairman of the Kuomintang today. He determined to speak in pursuit of spiritual high ground on the road, continue to explore, stop writing, exhausted effort, no doubt Lu Xun’s mouth “China’s backbone.”
