吳俊瑩博士在《臺灣史研究》第29 卷第4 期發表〈「拂塵專案」與國民黨當局對二二八事件詮釋的學術轉向〉一文，列舉了兩本專書及一本研究報告：《拂去歷史明鏡中的塵埃》、A Tragic Beginning: The Taiwan Uprising of February 28, 1947及《二二八事件研究報告》。吳君認為這三本著作雖在不同時間撰寫，觀點有所調整，但基本上有些論點均有延續性，在事件背景、鎮壓過程以及責任歸屬等方面均有為國民黨開脫殺害臺灣人之嫌。本人係為後二書之作者，乃秉持「一分證據說一分話」的治史精神，且依據可取得之檔案資料，撰寫此文反駁吳君對後二書之相關論點，以期釐清事實。

Dr. Chun-ying Wu published an article titled “ ‘Fu Chen Project’ and Academic Turn of Kuomintang’s Interpretation of 228 Incident” in Vol. 29, No. 4 of Taiwan Historical Research. In the article, he cites two books and a research report: Fu-ch’ü li-shih mingching chung te ch’ên-ai 拂去歷史明鏡中的塵埃 [Flicking the Dust off the Historical Mirror], A Tragic Beginning: The Taiwan Uprising of February 28, 1947, and Research Report on the February 28 Incident. Wu argues that although these three works were written at different times with some adjustments in viewpoints, they essentially continue certain arguments that tend to absolve the Kuomintang from killing the people of Taiwan in aspects like incident background, suppression, and responsibility. As the author of the latter two works, I adhere to the spirit of “Let the evidence speak,” and rely on available archival materials to write this article in rebuttal to Wu's relevant arguments about the two works, aiming to clarify the facts.
