扶輪地區在臺灣-香港-澳門的合組與分坼 – 1951-1987 中華扶輪史研究員 劉敬恒 2017年10月 1日 扶輪在臺灣/香港/澳門三地區，第一家扶輪社是在英國殖民地香港1930/31 年成立的香港 扶輪社(Rotary Club of Hong Kong)，是「老大哥」；香港的第二家是九龍扶輪社(Rotary Club of Kowloon)，成立於1948 年。而在葡萄牙領土澳門的第一家扶輪社，是1947 年成立的澳門 扶輪社(Rotary Club of Macau)。 在臺灣扶輪地區的擴展過程中，香港和澳門地區也在部分時 間中參加了。因此，這也是香港和澳門扶輪地區發展史的一部分。扶輪在臺灣的植根，早在 1931 年的日治時期。雖然，日治時期臺灣的扶輪組織，與中華民國臺灣的扶輪社並無直接的臍帶關 係。但從扶輪社之社區主義的觀點來追溯，則日治時期的扶輪仍是扶輪運動植入臺灣本土的先 軀，屬於地緣文化的領域。因此從史學的角度來探討，它應該首先納入臺灣扶輪史的範疇。儘 管中華民國在臺灣省成立的第一家扶輪社是 1948年的臺北扶輪社(Rotary Club of Taipei)，臺 灣扶輪地區演進史的研究，必須以臺灣光復前後之斷層期（1941-1948）為分界嶺，做兩階段 的區分，值得在這裡記錄在案。 日本帝國臺灣 1894年（清光緒 20年），清帝國與日本帝國因為朝鮮主權問題，而爆發甲午戰爭。次年 3 月 20 日，戰況呈現敗象的清朝，派出北洋通商大臣李鴻章為和談代表，並以全權大臣身分 赴日本廣島與日本全權大臣伊藤博文議和。到達之後，李鴻章要求先停戰，但談判沒有結果。 最後清帝國被迫於 1895年 4月17日與日本帝國簽訂《馬關條約》(Treaty of Shimonoseki)， 清廷一方面被迫承認朝鮮獨立；另一方面也將遼東半島、臺灣全島及澎湖列島割讓予日本。 臺灣最早的扶輪是在臺灣日治時期，由東京ロータリークラブ (Rotary Club of Tokyo…
