Source text - Chinese “法轮功”与法西斯
start观“法轮功”之行，越看“法轮功”越像法西斯。
“法轮功”邪教和法西斯在煽动群众的手法上如出一辙，都编造了自成系统的一套严格宣传程式。法西斯元首和邪教教主，都善于用谣言、谎言以及欺骗性的“理论”和口号来煽动群众，迎合非理性的群众心理。希特勒用“奋起吧，德国”和“凡是为日耳曼人服务就是好的”这些“激动人心”的口号，将日耳曼民族推向了战争的深渊；他还将其所著《我的奋斗》一书制成《圣经》的尺幅，宣扬极端反动的沙文主义、复仇主义和种族主义。李洪志假佛法之名，不但以熄灭烦恼、摧伏怨敌、辗转相传的“法轮”来为自己的歪理邪说造势，蛊惑信众；他还让人捉刀，杜撰出《转法轮》等“经文”，用“真、善、忍”等欺骗性口号，将人引向邪路，推向极端。
法西斯主义还有一个重要特征，就是用心理暗示、集体催眠式的思想控制手段，美化“元首”的形象，树立“领袖”的权威。希特勒将“元首”崇拜意识深化到日常生活的每一个环节，甚至下属行纳粹军礼时，都要喊一声“嗨—希特勒”；只有小学水平的李洪志，在兜售“地球爆炸理论”的同时，宣称自己的水平比释迦牟尼还要高。他控制的“法轮大法”研究会更是神乎其神地吹嘘：“8岁的李洪志得上乘大法，具大神通……”他还唯我独尊，声称只有他一个人在“往高层次带功”。stop
纳粹党魁希特勒还有一句“格言”：“责任朝上，权威朝下”，即德国民谚“对上鞠躬，对下踢脚”的翻版。李洪志就是这样一个上下其手之人。他一方面标榜“最和平”和“非暴力”，另一方面投靠海外的反华势力，为破坏中国的团结稳定局面煽风点火。对于“法轮功”练习者，他扬言：“只要你修炼，我就能够对你负责到底，而且我时时刻刻都在看护着你。”但是，他转身又说，“重病人我们是不收的”。对于那些为练功而自焚身亡、身残的练习者，他又以“不是大法信徒”为名一脚踢开。法西斯也是这样的逻辑。
回顾历史，正视现实，可以清楚地看出，“法轮功”和法西斯，都是反人类、反社会、反科学的邪恶势力。从这个意义上说，“法轮功”与法西斯何其相似乃尔！希特勒和法西斯主义已被永远钉在历史的耻辱柱上，李洪志和“法轮功”的下场还会更好吗？
Translation - English Dharma Wheel Practice (Falun Gong) and Fascism
The more I observe Falun Gong, the more it resembles Fascism. The methods that Falun Gong rhetoric and fascism use to incite the masses are like peas from the same pod, they both created a self serving, strict propaganda system. Heads of both excelled at employing rumors, lies, and deceptive "theories" and slogans to incite their mass followers, manipulating the hearts and minds of naive audiences. Hitler lead the Germans to the trenches of war by creating motivational slogans such as “Rise up, Germany” and “Whatever serves the interest of the German people, is right”; he even structured his autobiography, My Struggle (Mein Kampf), to mimic the Bible, in order spread reactionary ideals of chauvinism, revanchism and racism.
Similarly, in the disguise of Buddhism, Li Hongzhi spread his lies and cheated his followers by making use of the wide-spread “dharma wheel” (Falun) concept, which can dispel worries and subdue enemies. He even enlisted ghostwriters fabricate text such as Turning the Law Wheel (Zhuan Falun), and used deceptive slogans like “truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance” to mislead followers down a dreaded path of extremism.
Another important feature of fascism is the glorification and authoritarian manipulation of the leader by controlling followers’ minds through psychological suggestion and group hypnosis. The Hitler penetrated every aspect of his people's life, and soldiers even had to shout “Hi Hitler” when saluting their officers. Similarly, when selling his theory of global combustion, Li Hongzhi, with merely primary school education, alleged that he had greater power than Sakyamuni Buddha.Within the Great Law of the Dharma Wheel (Falun Dafa) Research Society, a puppet organizaion, Li Hongzhi boasted that he had acquired the superb great law with supernatural powers at the age of 8, and that he was the only one that possessed advanced ability to guide others in spiritual nirvana.

Translation - English South Taiwan 228 Incident
Note From Interview With Mr. Yang Zhichang
Interviewer/ Xu Xueji
Note Taker/ Xu Xueji
Many people have talked about the cause of the February 28th Incident (“228 Incident”), but I will still briefly share my opinion. At the beginning, the Taiwanese were actually very excited about returning to the motherland. Nevertheless, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) came rolling in with an arrogant autocratic agenda to wrestle away control, which became the leading cause for the “228 Incident”. For instance, the senior KMT city officials at that time asserted that Taiwan didn’t pay any taxes to them over the 50 years that they were under Japan’s rule, and therefore demanded repayment from Taiwan. However, the two parties failed to reach an agreement on this issue. Moreover, as the Taiwanese welcomed the army to the railway station, the they were quite turned off when they saw that the KMT army had brought along their own woks and stoves. In other words, it felt like first-class Taiwanese citizens were to be governed by the third-class KMT. At least during the time of Japanese rule, all Taiwanese citizens received education to varying degrees.
When the incident took place, South Taiwan was barely affected. It was relatively peaceful, despite the traffic being cut off and newspapers out of circulation. It was only later that the commotion spread from the north to the south. I remember once, I was running across the region to cover the incident, and I saw students from South Taiwan Engineering College (known today as National Cheng Kung University) with guns. They were occupying the second floor of a half-collapsed store that had been destroyed by an American bombed in a busy area on Zhongzheng Road. I saw them up there as I walked down the road, and thus asked: “what are you doing?” He said: The KMT army is advancing, we must prepare for a street fight. This type of talk was extremely naive. As I’ve stated, I have a Japanese middle school education, I have also received military training, but how can you have a street battle in a busy city district? In this way the civilian casualties would be great, so I ordered them to go home, if you really wanted to stand up to the KMT army, you must go about it in a practical way, not in the streets, They listened to me and went home without incident.
At that time there were hoodlums that attacked mainlanders as they arrived to Peaceful Anchor Port, and they beat the mainlanders until their faces were all bloodied; That wasn’t the right thing to do. My good friend city official Weng Jinhu, in order to protect mainlanders, blocked them from the entering the Tainan canal, re-routed them to what is today Peace and Happiness Road (the Xinding Golden Pine Building during Japanese occupation), and prepared housing and meals for them. This type of service did not receive any accolades, after the armed forces came Weng Jinhu was arrested after being incriminated by incarcerated mainlanders, proving right a Taiwanese idiom which means kindness is met with malice.
Chinese to English: Taiwan Economics Detailed field: Economics
Source text - Chinese III 有安定迈向发展
（一） 经济发展的背景
台湾之所以有宝岛之称，主要是土地肥沃，有得天独厚的自然环境，“一年的收成可以过(吃)三年”。而台湾的住民大多来自穷苦的福建，养成“勤作俭用”的习性。长年以来的台湾移民社会，一直没有自己的国家来保护，只有靠自己独立、冒险奋斗。被日本统治了50年，台湾人的教育水平、守法奉公精神，已经达到现代人的标准。社会上卫生设施、交通、产业的整备，在终战时已到达工业化的门槛。即使在太平洋战争中，因美军的轰炸而有一部分的工业设备被破坏，但并不难修复，何况台湾人的人力资源未因战争而受大损伤。“台湾经验”应不限于战后的经济奇迹，是包括战前的经济发展，承受了来自日本的遗产。战后经历了“二二八”的浩劫之后，在国民党政权威权统治之下，被迫远离政治而走向经济发展，承受了来自日本的遗产。时至今日，支持台湾经济繁荣的，并非是大企业或公营企业，毋宁是众多的中小企业，台湾中小企业的战士是无国籍（护照不通用）的国际商人。他们才是创造台湾经济奇迹的无名英雄。
Translation - English III Steady March Forward Toward Development
1) Background of economic development
Taiwan earned its epithet, Treasure Island, primarily due to its rich and fertile soil. Blessed with unparalleled beauty and natural scenery, “1 year’s harvest is enough to feast for 3 years”. Yet, most of Taiwan's inhabitants come from the impoverished Fujian province, fostering a “diligent and thrifty" persona. Never able to rely on a mother country to protect it, Taiwan's immigrant society has come a long way, relying solely on it’s own independence, risk taking and perseverance along the way. Due to being occupied by Japan for 50 years, Taiwanese citizens’ education level, judicial consciousness, and sense of duty has already reached any modern day standard. Public health facilities and traffic infrastructure underwent a drastic overhaul, so by the time of the final battle, Taiwan was already at the cusp of industrialization. Even though an American bomb destroyed a portion of Taiwan’s industry during the pacific warfare, the manpower and will of the Taiwanese people was never broken by the war, and they were able to restore it with relative ease. The "Taiwan Experience" should not be limited to the economic takeoff experienced after the war, it also includes the economic development that took place before the war, and the legacy inherited from Japan. Following the post-war "228" catastrophe, the KMT political regime pushed away from politics and towards economic development, Up to this point in our history, those responsible for Taiwan’s prosperity are not the large corporations or state-run enterprises, but rather the numerous small and medium sized businesses; it’s Taiwan’s small-medium sized enterprise warriors, stateless international businessmen (Taiwanese passports are not recognized universally), who are actually the silent heroes of Taiwan’s economic miracle.
