青天白日下的心声

2025年10月4日清晨，我来到洛杉矶蒙特利公园市的巴恩斯公园，参加由加州台湾同乡联谊会举办的中华民国114周年双十国庆升旗典礼。当青天白日满地红的旗帜在风中升起时，我心里涌上一股难以言喻的激动，百感交集。

从在国内冒着风险突破中共的网络围墙，第一次真正了解中国近代史开始，我就为中华民国的坎坷命运感到悲哀，并始终认同自己是中华民国的一员。今天，第一次在海外亲身经历为它庆生，我更加清楚地告诉自己：我不是中华人民共和国的居民，我是中华民国的遗民。

A Voice Beneath the Blue Sky and White Sun

On the morning of October 4, 2025, I arrived at Barnes Park in Monterey Park, Los Angeles, to attend the 114th Double Tenth National Day flag-raising ceremony of the Republic of China, organized by the Taiwanese Association of California. When the flag of blue sky, white sun, and a field of red rose in the wind, a surge of indescribable emotion filled my heart — a mix of excitement, nostalgia, and sorrow.

Ever since I first risked my safety to break through the Great Firewall in China and truly learned about modern Chinese history, I have felt deep sorrow for the Republic of China’s turbulent fate. From that moment, I have firmly regarded myself as a member of the Republic of China.

Today, standing overseas for the first time to celebrate its birthday, I can say with even greater conviction: I am not a resident of the People’s Republic of China — I am a survivor, a remnant, of the Republic of China.
