Democracy and Cross-Strait Trends

Yu Ying-shih's only collection of political commentaries published during his lifetime: The lifting of martial law in Taiwan, the June Fourth Movement in China, and the fall of the Berlin Wall – key moments in the life of the master.

First published in September 1993, this book compiles all of Yu Ying-shih's key articles from his prime years, when he was a frequent contributor to Taiwanese media. Unavailable online and hard to find in the secondary market, this new edition is a long-awaited success.

The earliest piece was written on the night of Chiang Ching-kuo's death, and the latest was written shortly after the 1993 Kuo-Wang talks, when Taiwan was most enthusiastic about engaging with the CCP. "Intellectuals and 'Bachelors'" and "A Year of Total 'Alienation,'" written after the June 4th Incident, are even more renowned both domestically and internationally, containing Yu Ying-shih's most important arguments about the CCP.

The new edition was edited by Yan Zeya, who added editorial notes and comments, and three new articles, all of which are included in Yu Yingshi's collected works for the first time.
