在記錄「活歷史」的黃金歲月時，我對中共發明的「黑五類」帶給中國的影響，不論時間軸或明暗度均感匪夷所思，傳主在大學期間與畢業後的累次政治運動中，被整的罪名是五佔其三，其原罪是被罵了二十多年的「國民黨的殘渣餘孽」，至死仍無法釋懷的是中共對他的「奪妻」之恨。我曾設身處地想，換成是我肯定學林黛玉的「質本潔來還潔去」，讓我無法望其項背的是：原來苟活才是大智慧，因為還有翻過身來重新做「人」的機會。（節錄※提要※）邵可忍（口述）／葉珠紅（整理）回憶催人老同時也摧人腦，為了證明自己來過這個世界，為了紀念我們這個有點族繁不及備載，在海內外開枝散葉的家族，以及我那有善始無善終的初戀，我要努力回憶，按照弗洛依德的人格分期，首先得面對我那段兩小無猜。初中時紅蘋果坐我前面，常回過頭來跟我說話，借東西問題目，比較熟悉也比較單純，到了高中大了幾歲考慮的事多了，升學啦，入團啦，學什麼專業，未來的人生等等，因為...

本書的時間跨度是新冠疫情爆發前，中國最有煙火氣的時光，我的幸運是在「貝利亞」尚未遍地的時期，遇到老天在冥冥之中要我結識的，不令人感到窘迫的中國人。書中浙江篇目居半，起因是G20峰會的召開（2016）讓我成了峰會難民，被迫在浙東流浪時經常想到西湖，一場政治大拜拜就這麼誤打誤撞，撞開了跟白居易共同的感受－－未能拋得杭州去，一半勾留是此湖。義大利史學家克羅奇說：一切歷史都是當代史。臺灣政客看中國多為臉盲，只知道是張人臉卻記不清五官長相，臺商與臺幹是明知周瑜打黃蓋，卻從不願承認長期被視為是「丐幫」，我在中國十多年竄入竄出，以不需仰人鼻息的旅遊單槍匹馬深入民間，只想尋找大自民族小至個人感受的「共識」是否可能。※釋寶（代序）／葉珠紅／臺灣台中※大陸友人要我用一詞概括中國，我期期以為不可，拗不過這樣飽含著「妳就一句話！」暗藏人類基本愛較勁的交流，我脫口而出：中國就是個大活寶，因為死要面子活受罪，上頭愛面子，你們活受罪。被政治給「運動」了20多年的乍驚乍疑笑問...

本書的構想有些杞人憂天，首先擔心數十年後的臺灣人，不知從數百年前到現在，有一群用無比韌性的生命力，勇於擔輸贏的先行者；其次是怕出現文化斷層，全世界懂中文的，會看不懂21世紀的臺灣仍在使用，而在其他華人社會幾已絕跡的生活用語。筆者忝承中州正韻，面對轉型社會的文化衝擊，不揣謭陋記錄部份人士及諸親好友，於日常生活中的讜言妙語，期盼嚮往中華文化者，能經由此書認識臺灣。（節錄）※序／葉珠紅※歷經數百年被殖民的臺灣人，世代流傳的基因密碼是：與其窮一家，不如苦一人。這裡的家，可以是自家更可以放大為國家，從大陸渡海來台開墾的先人，早就告訴後輩在全世界都通用的「海上相遇規則」，首先是語言溝通要有技巧，例如形容賭博上癮者：「徼鬼較媠戲旦」（賭鬼比小旦還美）；其次是司法不是皇后的貞操，對於想跟法利賽人一樣被金錢迷惑的，都可以隨時拿來「配飯」；最後是誰要敢把老百姓踩在腳下摩擦，其祖宗八代就等著被當成大象圍堵。臺灣人愛耍嘴炮，部份原因來自血液裡飽含上述的基因，天生自帶反骨的最常表現在對...
