TAFNC 228 Memorial Keynote | Kim Liao – Where Every Ghost Has a Name

這個週末，TAFNC 舉辦了一場二二八紀念講座，邀請了 《Where Every Ghost Has a Name: A Memoir of Taiwanese Independence》 的作者（Kim Liao），以及台美社群的主持人 Kristie Wang、Tim Chng 和作家 Rebecca Liu。

這場豐富的對談、社群反思與寫作練習，幫助我們更深刻地連結家族的故事與塑造我們的歷史。

來自節目統 Leona Chen (TAFNC）的分享：

「當我們思考二二八時……我們的祖先會懇求我們不要遺忘，而我們的後代會懇求我們採取行動。當我們見到極權主義、殘暴無情、漠視人命與人權的模式不斷重演，無論是在我們自身社群內部或更廣的世界裡，我們必須介入、必須行動。今日與每一天，攸關的事情如此重大。當我們思索 Kim 如何完整地紀念她祖父廖文毅的歷史遺產與個人價值時，我也想挑戰我們每一個人去思考我們將成為怎樣的人？如果我們足夠幸運，那麼未來會如何書寫我們？」

This weekend, TAFNC hosted a 228 Memorial Keynote with Kim Liao, author of “Where Every Ghost Has a Name: A Memoir of Taiwanese Independence” with Taiwanese American community moderators Kristie Wang, Tim Chng, and writer Rebecca Liu.

The rich discussion, community reflection, and writing exercise helped us better connect the stories of our families with the histories that shape us.

From programming lead Leona Chen: “As we think aobut 228… our ancestors will beg that we do not forget, but our descendants will beg that we do something about it, that we intervene when we see the same patterns of authoritarianism and cruelty and disregard for the preciousness of human life and human rights within and beyond our own communities. There is so much at stake today and every day. When we think about how Kim honors the fullness of her grandfather Thomas Liao’s legacy and personhood, I challenge each of us to think about the kinds of people we will be, and what will be written of us, if we are so lucky.”
