“一国两制”视野下台湾老兵的社会身份重构

Reconstructing the social identity of Taiwan veterans from the perspective of “one country,two systems”

台湾老兵一般是指1949年前后因国共战争而迁徙到台湾的国民党军人。他们在与台湾社会长时间的互动过程中,"内/外"的差异建立并强化,逐渐被界定为"在人之下"的外省人;同时,该群体呈现出一定的分化和集聚,在与政治主体的互动中,灵活运用"一国两制"提供的既定资源为自己争取返乡的结果和更大的空间。1987年以后,他们往来于海峡两岸之间,扩大对公众领域的介入,颠覆固有的台胞身份,重构被社会认同的文化空间。

Taiwan veterans generally refer to Kuomintang soldiers who migrated to Taiwan around 1949 because of the Chinese civil war. They established and strengthened the “inside/outside” differences in the long-term interaction with Taiwan Residents society, and have been gradually defined as “the people below” of the provinces; at the same time, the group showed a certain differentiation and agglomeration. In the interaction of political subjects, they flexibly used the established resources provided by “one country, two systems” to strive for the outcome and greater space for returning home. After 1987, they traveled between the two sides of the strait, expanding their involvement in the public domain, subverting the inherent Taiwan Residents identity and reconstructing the cultural space recognized by the society.
