实现中华民族伟大复兴，与两岸同胞前途命运息息相关。当前，在美国外部势力的干涉和“台独”分裂势力的煽动下，当代台湾青年长期受到“去中国化”与“台独史观”的灌输影响，对两岸关系性质和国家认同问题认识出现偏差。因此，为了使台湾青年共同为实现中华民族伟大复兴奋斗努力，不仅要认识台湾人民的爱国主义历史，还要将台湾问题放在中国的大历史背景下去讨论，理解当时台湾青年将个人前途与国家命运紧密相连的历史过程，以此来唤醒当代台湾青年的祖国意识。“台湾省赴大陆公费生”是台湾光复后首批官派至大陆升学的青年群体，是国民党政府展开一系列去殖民化的“祖国化”工作中的重要一环。这群通过考选及培训出来的本省知识青年，不仅承担着消除两岸隔阂、使台湾人民都能认同祖国的重要责任；还承担着未来台湾本省出身的重要建设人才的重要使命。至今，有关台湾公费生的研究主要集中为回忆性文章以及口述访谈，而学理性的研究几乎空白，并未清楚地将他们认识祖国以及对国民党政府认同转变的经历和感悟呈现。对于这一问题，本文将把“台湾省赴大陆公费生”放置在整个中国的形势与发展这一大历史观和长时段语境中去做讨论，以此突破目前多是一种静态性研究的局限性。本文主要按照历史脉络展开。第一，考察国民党政府“去殖民化”工作的历史背景。第二，考察台湾公费生政策的制定与启动，厘清殖民教育带来的影响，以及国民党政府欲培养的建设人才为何种类型。第三，考察台湾公费生对美国的认识以及参加反美斗争之原因，并通过赴大陆后产生的困境与忧虑，梳理他们对祖国的情感。第四，考察台湾公费生声援“二·二八”事件的内容，剖析为何此事件是促使他们对国民党政府认同正式转变的关键，并厘清他们与中国共产党产生联系的途径。第五，考察台湾公费生参与第二条战线高潮的过程，理解他们为何会在极度危险的环境下选择与国民党政府进行斗争，并转而认同中国共产党的领导。最后，考察台湾公费生的道路选择，梳理他们将个人命运与国家前途紧密联系的事迹。通过上述的梳理展现了台湾公费生从认同国民党政府向认同中国共产党领导转变的历程和缘由。
A united and prosperous China will be a blessing for all Chinese, while a weak and divided China will be a disaster. At present, under the interference of external forces from the United States and the incitement of "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, contemporary Taiwanese youth have long been influenced by the indoctrination of "de-Chineseization" and "Taiwan independence view of history," and have a misconception of the nature of cross-strait relations and national identity. They have misconceptions about the nature of cross-strait relations and national identity. Therefore, in order to make Taiwanese youth work together to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is necessary not only to recognize the patriotic history of the Taiwanese people, but also to discuss the Taiwan issue in the context of China‘s general history and to understand the historical process of the Taiwanese youth at that time that closely linked their personal future with the fate of the nation, so as to awaken the motherland consciousness of contemporary Taiwanese youth.The “Group of Taiwan-funded Students Going to the Mainland” were the first group of young people sent to the mainland to study after Taiwan‘s restoration, and were an important part of the KMT government‘s series of decolonization and returning to China. This group of intellectual youth from the province, who were selected and trained through the examination, not only took on the important responsibility of bridging the gap between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and enabling all the people of Taiwan to identify with the motherland; they also took on the important mission of being important construction talents of Taiwan‘s own provincial origin in the future. To date, studies on the “Group of Taiwan-funded Students Going to the Mainland” have mainly focused on reminiscent articles and oral interviews, while academic studies are almost empty, not clearly presenting their experiences and perceptions of their understanding of the motherland and their change of identity with the KMT government.This paper will discuss the issue of “Group of Taiwan-funded Students Going to the Mainland” in the context of the overall historical situation and development of China, so as to break through the limitations of the current mostly static study.This paper mainly follows the historical lineage. First, we examine the historical background of the KMT government‘s "decolonization" efforts. Second, we examine the formulation and initiation of Taiwan‘s publicly funded student policy to clarify the impact of colonial education and the type of construction talent the KMT government wanted to cultivate. Third, to examine the Taiwanese public-funded students‘ perceptions of the United States and the reasons for their participation in the anti-American struggle, and to sort out their feelings toward the motherland through the dilemmas and worries that arose after they went to the mainland. Fourth, we examine the content of Taiwan‘s public-funded students‘ solidarity with the February 28 Incident, analyze why this incident was the key to their formal change of identification with the Kuomintang government, and clarify the ways in which they came into contact with the Chinese Communist Party. Fifth, we examine the process of Taiwan‘s publicly funded students‘ participation in the culmination of the "Second Front" to understand why they chose to fight against the Kuomintang government under extremely dangerous circumstances and turned to the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Finally, we will examine the paths chosen by Taiwan‘s publicly funded students and sort out their deeds that closely link their personal fate with the country‘s future.
