冬至这晚，罗福星在上海寓所，望着华灯初上的街道。往来在街道上的行人走卒，陶醉在中华民国的成功果实里。而他，却没有一丝欢乐心情，因为他心里的故乡——台湾，依然在日本殖民统治下，台湾同胞依然过着悲惨的生活， 他的朋友，一定也引领企盼这个新时代。 想着台湾同胞正处在“人为刀俎，我为鱼肉”的境地；同胞们一张张渴望自由的脸庞，浮上心头。他一时兴起，写下与台湾同胞共勉的律诗：

猎猎寒风彻夜吹，萧萧落叶故园悲； 

市中有客皆瓦缶，台上无冠不野狸。 

破碎山河谁补缀，天涯兄弟合流离； 

新亭夜夜添新泪，都在二更月冷时。

罗福星是广东蕉岭“抗日三英杰”（丘逢甲、罗福星、谢晋元）之一。1912年，他受孙中山先生委派，秘密赴台成立同盟会支部，组织抗日运动。1913年底，日本在台殖民当局在全台大搜捕，罗福星等921名志士被捕。罗福星被处以绞刑，牺牲时年仅28岁。本书记录了罗福星烈士为反对日本对台湾的殖民统治，争取台湾光复，回归祖国而英勇斗争的光辉事迹。作者希望通过那段可歌可泣的历史，表达日本殖民统治下的台湾人始终不忘身为中华民族一分子。记取几代台湾同胞对祖国、民族的热爱。
