The reception and interest from the Taiwanese American community in organizing meetings and gatherings with Su Beng during his current US visit has been incredible! I'd like to thank everyone who has reached out to me to arrange the various meetings and gatherings with Su Beng in their respective cities. In addition to New York and New Jersey, Boston, DC and LA are all organizing gatherings and events with Su Beng. Announcements from their organizers will be forthcoming soon.
FAPA-YPG Washington DC is planning a gathering for Su Beng on July 24th.
FAPA-YPG in Los Angeles, CA is planning a town hall style meeting with Su Beng at the Taiwan Center on August 14th.
I myself am looking forward to finally reconnecting with Su Beng myself- this weekend up in the Boston area!

A Video about Su Beng and news of his US visit on TaiwanUS.net
I discovered this video on www.taiwan.us.net about Su Beng. The video also briefly goes into the early struggles of the Taiwanese against a string of colonial rulers. It is narrated in Taiwanese and seems to have quite a bit of archival footage.
Click here to see another video of a report on Su Beng done in January 2010 by a local television station in Taiwan. I've seen it before but haven't posted it here.
Once you get clicking, you'll see that there are other videos out there about Su Beng and Taiwan on YouTube.

Catch this rare opportunity to hear Su Beng, a 92 year old revolutionary Marxist from Taiwan talk about his life with his biographer, yours truly, Felicia Lin. Formerly an undercover Chinese Communist agent, and would be assassin of Chiang Kai-shek, Su Beng is here from Taiwan on his first visit to the U.S. in nearly 20 years. He is best known for his lifelong work for Taiwan independence and as the author of Taiwan's 400 Year of History. Hear the true tales of his time in China, his thoughts on the Kuomintang authorities in Taiwan, his years of exile in Japan (1952-1993), his continued activism in Taiwan and his previous U.S. cross country adventures.
