    廖文毅先生離世的31週年。
    廖文毅,1910年生於雲林西螺,父母皆為長老教徒,具備現代知識,相當重視子女教育,因此廖文毅高中時便赴日求學,之後又轉往日本、美國,並於1935年獲得美國俄亥俄州立大學化工博士學位。
    228事件後,廖文毅遭陳儀通緝,遂輾轉居住於上海、香港,1949年與謝雪紅等在香港組織台灣再解放聯盟後,於同年的年底前往日本。隔年成立台灣民主獨立黨,以台灣由美軍接管、公民投票決定台灣前途為訴求。之後又於1956年成立台灣共和國臨時政府,並就任大統領一職。
    廖文毅以台灣共和國臨時政府大統領的身分,在國際間宣揚台灣獨立的主張,獲得諸多迴響,甚至還與各國元首並列,受邀參加馬來西亞獨立慶典。不過,台灣共和國臨時政府的活動,雖然盛況一時,卻也逐漸產生問題。先是內部的紛爭與歧異增加,後是國民黨的打壓策反,都讓台灣共和國臨時政府的力量日漸消散衰退。
    1965年,廖文毅接受國民黨的策動返台。除了考量母親年事已高外,希望解救因台灣民主獨立黨一案遭捕叛處死刑的姪子廖史豪、部下黃紀南也是原因之一。陳慶立在《廖文毅與理想國》一書中,以「親情、財產、官職、健康、救人」作為廖文毅返台因素的總結。
    廖文毅回台後備受監視,也少與外界互動。曾被任命為曾文水庫建設委員會副主任委員、華南銀行常務監事,也曾參與台中港的建設。不過,其職務多半無實權,個人事業也受到許多牽制,晚年身體狀況又不甚理想,最終於1986年5月9日病逝於台中沙鹿光田醫院,享壽76歲。
    廖文毅可說是台灣獨立運動的先驅,台灣共和國臨時政府在當時有凝聚台灣人的意識、信念的作用。時值今日,其提出的主張,如開羅宣言不具國際法效力、台灣地位未定、以公民投票決定台灣前途等,仍然是台獨運動重要的訴求。
