Character life:
On Democratic Progressive Party's party card, the number 00 1 belongs to Chiang. This is not because he has profound inner-party experience, but because he is the founding chairman of Democratic Progressive Party who broke through the "party ban".
From a shoemaker's son, to the first leader of the opposition party, and then to the "supervisory committee", Jiang won unanimous praise from all factions in Democratic Progressive Party for his personal integrity, and won the title of "Gentleman's Lion" for him in Democratic Progressive Party, where there are many hills and everyone feels insecure.
The shoemaker's son
Jiang's father is a fisherman in Xiacun, Dongyuan Town, Hui 'an County, Fujian Province. Because of my poor family, I can't afford fishing boats and fishing gear, and I have to pick bamboo baskets to repair shoes, but I still can't support my five sons. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Fu Jiang took his family across the ocean to Taiwan Province. On April 25th, 1940, Jiang was born in Avenue City, Taipei.
A dull father, unfamiliar with business, is often bullied; In order to make a living, mother sews a needle and a thread under the oil lamp every day. Because there are countless forefingers at home, Jiang, the son of a shoemaker who can't afford a raincoat, has lived a hard life since childhood and planted a firm belief to change his life.
He constantly encourages himself, studies hard, and dares not relax a little. He was admitted to the famous Jianguo Middle School in Taipei, and later to the Law Department of National Taiwan University. Worked as a mobile vendor, worker and tutor, and graduated from the Law Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University with the honor of 1962. Later, after his military service, he was admitted to the Law School of Taiwan Province Provincial University. 1965 obtained a master's degree and successfully passed the advanced bar examination. He started.
Jiang, who was born in poverty, has a strong sense of fairness and justice and is determined to take the human rights movement as his career. He used to be the director of the Civil Legal Service Department, the "Protect You" hotline service consultant hosted by Lv Xiulian, and the volunteer lawyer of the Taipei Civil Law Center; Author of the Handbook of Human Rights, founded the Taiwan Association for the Promotion of Human Rights in 1984, served as the first president, and was awarded the title of "human rights lawyer", which is quite famous in the lawyer field. From 1982 to 1985, 1993 to 1996 respectively, he was elected as the executive director of Taiwan Province Lawyers Association.
Defend Lin Yixiong.
1The Formosa incident broke out at the end of 979, and Jiang stood up to defend the writer Yang. On the last day of the court debate, he denounced the Kuomintang and burst into tears in court with a touching defense, gaining the reputation of "Iron Shoulder Man".
1on February 28th, 980, his mother and two daughters were assassinated, and Chen Wencheng was later killed, forcing Jiang to sit still and resolutely join the opposition movement outside the party. 1increase the amount of "national generation" for Zhou Qingyu's election at the end of 1980. 198 1 help Xie Changting run for Taipei City Councillor at the end of 1980, and act as their legal adviser.
1At the end of 983, Jiang was recommended by the "Non-Party Support Association" to run as a co-opted "legislator" in Taipei; At that time, there were already Huang Tianfu and Kang Ningxiang in Taipei, and the source of votes outside the party was limited. Under the slogan of "a legislator stays outside the Party for life", Jiang moved the people with emotional demands such as "I don't believe in justice and swear to be a pawn of human rights" and "confession of shoemaker's son", thus becoming the only elected person outside the Party, and embarked on a political road from then on.
Although he was the last person to be elected, Jiang had the courage to show himself in the "Legislative Yuan". In view of the fact that the object of checks and balances is the administrative department, he adopted the offensive strategy of "promoting peace through war", that is, putting pressure on the rulers through the performance of the proceedings, spreading protest information or opinions outside the party, and achieving the purpose of checks and balances through public opinion. Therefore, he frequently questioned the legality of the martial law system at that time, paid attention to human rights protection and political criminals, and spared no effort to advocate political localization and rejuvenation.
keep one's word/promise
1In September 1986, Jiang gave up his re-election and increased the number of legislators. In addition to keeping the promise of "being a legislator for three years", he also reminded public officials who love to stack up to have the opportunity to think. Jiang believes that it is time for non-party people to reserve talents and meet the coming of party politics. They should take elections and public office as the basis for training politicians. It is better for one person to be a legislator for nine years than for three people.
1on September 28th, 986,1more than 30 non-party people declared the establishment of Democratic Progressive Party despite the severe warning of the Kuomintang. Jiang was not only a member of the Party Affairs Working Committee 18, but also was elected as the first Central Executive Committee member at the first party member Congress in June1/KLOC-0, and was later elected by the Central Executive Committee.
Jiang, who has no factional foundation, can beat veteran Fei outside the party and win the position of party leader. First, in the party building work, he was in charge of organizing the party and planning the generation of representatives of party member, so as to gain the support of the Editors Association outside the Party and the Friendship Association outside the Party, and defeated Fei, who had the background of the Political Council outside the Party, by one vote. Second, Jiang's politically developed personality of clear ambition and abiding by campaign promises has become a candidate acceptable to all parties.
Leading the party to create
Being the party chairman is a very arduous task for Jiang Lai. Because Democratic Progressive Party was established before the party was banned and opened, it belongs to an illegal political party; Moreover, Democratic Progressive Party clearly stated in the draft party program that "the future of Taiwan Province Province should be decided by all residents of Taiwan Province Province", and these two cases are facing the fate of being banned at any time because they violated the laws at that time. In addition, in the early days of Democratic Progressive Party's pioneering work, there were numerous events, numerous factions within the party and chaotic personnel, which tested Jiang's leadership and coordination ability.
Jiang defended and disinfected Democratic Progressive Party's "self-determination" in various ways. He said that Democratic Progressive Party's "self-determination" proposition is a procedure rather than a result, and it is a high respect for the people's will to choose. There is no reciprocity between "self-determination" and "independence"; This means that it is not yet time for the two sides to talk about reunification or independence. The political and economic gap between the two sides is too great and there is no basis for dialogue.
In view of the contradiction of the inner-party movement line. Judging from the time outside the Party, there are two diametrically opposite routes in Democratic Progressive Party. One school, represented by the Association of Editors and Writers outside the Party, advocated that in the political environment at that time, the opposition party could only take to the streets, mobilize the people to resist and put pressure on the authorities. On the other hand, the faction represented by the "non-party political Council" advocates the parliamentary line and enters the system through elections for reform. After the founding of Democratic Progressive Party, disputes between the two sides continued. In this case, try to mediate from it. In his view, although it is necessary for Democratic Progressive Party to follow the mass line, the so-called mass line is not necessarily street politics. Affinity can be added to the mass movement, and the whole movement can be well planned.
In view of the factional struggle within the party, he gave full play to his calm and introverted personality and the principle of harmony in dealing with the world, kept an equal distance from all factions, and made the party's machine work normally. Jiang made it clear that Democratic Progressive Party is an alliance of opposing forces, and it is very important to respect, persuade and tolerate each other. Factional struggles within the party should be diluted as much as possible, otherwise it will be useless to the tradition and development of the party.
The election campaign led by Jiang in Democratic Progressive Party was the re-election of "legislators" and "national generation" at the end of that year. Only two months after the establishment of Democratic Progressive Party, there was a serious conflict between the police and the people. The people who sneaked into Taoyuan Airport were all aliases Xu Xinliang. Jiang personally went to the scene of the conflict, spoke to the people with the police's high-pressure tap on his back, and made a statement to the outside world, indicating Democratic Progressive Party's stance against violence, minimizing the negative impact of a series of violent conflicts on Democratic Progressive Party, and enabling Democratic Progressive Party to achieve brilliant results in two elections: in the election to increase the number of seats for legislators, Democratic Progressive Party won 12 seats. In the additional "National Generation" election, Democratic Progressive Party also got 1 1 seat, which doubled the five seats of 1983. The success of the first battle laid a political foundation for Democratic Progressive Party.
Pursuing the second spring of politics
Jiang once said that "politics is not my interest, but my mission". Therefore, although he stepped down as the party chairman, there is no turning back on the road to politics. 1989165438+10 At the third "National" party member Congress in Democratic Progressive Party, with the support of the new trend department, Jiang went out to compete with Huang Xinjie, the leader of the "Beautiful Island Department" outside the party, for the party chairman. 1In August, 1992, he participated in the election as a "legislator" in the non-partitioned party. Due to the lack of factional support and grass-roots management, he failed to squeeze into the safe list. Although the outside world lamented, Jiang regarded it as "this is not a break in personal political life, but another turning point"; Immediately, he accepted the invitation of Xu Xinliang and became the Secretary-General of Democratic Progressive Party. In view of the fact that the outside world does not understand him as the founding chairman of the party as the chief of staff, he believes that "this is a wrong concept, and democratic politics should be based on the politics of ordinary people, rather than the concept that anyone is necessarily only suitable for that kind of combat post."
Jiang has always been interested in winning the election as mayor of Taipei. He thought he grew up in Taipei and resigned as secretary-general. He was also dissatisfied with the exchange of power between then Party Chairman Xu Xinliang and Chen Shui-bian (Chen Shui-bian was elected as the governor of Taiwan Province Province and the mayor of Taipei). Therefore, despite the assassinations of Chen Shui-bian and the two political stars in the party, Jiang still ran for the nomination of the party on the last day of the registration date in June, 1994, hoping that through his participation, he would "stimulate Democratic Progressive Party's internal reflection and let the outside world spur Democratic Progressive Party". Although he was later forced to withdraw from the election, his tragic image left a deep impression on people. 1995 1, Jiang replaced Hou Haixiong, who was expelled from the party, as a "legislator" without partition. At the end of the year, he ran for the third "legislator" wearing a shirt, but he was still defeated by a high vote.
Repeated defeats in the election are inevitably frustrating. However, due to the perseverance brought by poverty in his early years and the firmness and introversion forged by years of practicing Japanese judo and kendo, Jiang still did not give up his pursuit of political mission, and finally ushered in the second spring of politics. 1September, 1996, Jiang and Ye of party member, Democratic Progressive Party were nominated to participate in the second by-election of the "Supervisory Committee" and were elected; 1February 1999, re-elected as the third "Supervisory Committee". After becoming a "supervisory Committee member", Jiang immediately canceled his party membership and stopped all political party activities to show the neutrality of the supervisory organ. In order to give full play to the functions of the "supervisory committee" to correct violations of law and discipline, ease people's grievances, and provide suggestions, as soon as Jiang took office, he immediately began to investigate the murder of his mother and daughter, and later accepted his daughter's invitation to investigate the party building case of that year, specializing in difficult cases, in an attempt to reverse the impression that the "supervisory committee" gave people that there were only flies, but no tigers.
