「風聲、雨聲、讀書聲、聲聲入耳；家事、國事、天下事、事事關心」。這副對聯給我的感覺既浪漫又沉鬱，既凄美又激昂。家國憂患之事人人有責，我們身為關心台灣的海外僑胞更責無旁貸。雖然我並不是修讀歷史的，不過我總覺得歷史的震盪似乎遙遠卻其實只是咫尺身旁，時刻在觸動我們的情懷和搖撼我們的思維，更不時牽引著我們生命的走向。

暗湧急湍的歷史事件，不斷地沖洗著國事，也隱隱然滌蕩著僑心民意。翻讀歷史固然並不要執泥於一場美中台外交三角關係、或者一件東海領土爭端，我們從中汲取的教訓和啟發，豈只是鑑古證今，擴大一點其實便是對文化源流的一次認知和對人生意義的一次反思。

支持中華民國及捍衛自己國家主權是我從小的庭訓。旅居海外近四十年，始終掛心台灣的點點滴滴，從早期投稿中央日報海外版，到近年來向美國媒體投書，都是發自內心的使命感。僑胞在海外捍衛中華民國國家主權絕不能掉以輕心，必須以理性的態度分析和口誅筆伐。

台灣國際處境艱辛，向美媒投書不僅能夠爭取更多美國朝野支持，更是提升我國的國家利益最好的鑰匙。有機會站在國際社會第一線為台灣發聲是一種責任，也是一種榮耀。投書表達台灣鄉親關切的議題，對美提出諍言，在在都能增進美國朝野對我國之瞭解與認識，洵為撰文投書，為台灣發聲的動機。
