一九九七年中元節的前五天，台南的安平漁港忽然瀰漫著一種奇怪的氣氛。漁船上下的不是漁獲、漁具，而是各種生鮮食品，辦桌的材料，甚至還出現樂隊使用的鼓。不僅如此，連鍋子、宰好的豬都抬上來了，而上下的人似乎都特別興奮，我們彷彿連他們心跳的聲音都清晰的聽見。
東吉聯誼會長陳清對先生說：「......因為我們上一代都是捕魚的，我們這邊的王爺很靈，大家賺得到錢，王爺很保佑我們的上一代，像高雄一些遠洋漁船，船長都是我們東吉人，......因為神明很保佑，保佑我們大家的子孫很有本事，大家都搬到台灣來住，就把王爺給忘了......。」
所以，這群人可不是移民或者偷渡的人，他們是要回家普渡，要替一直護衛他們在台灣平安發展的王爺慶生。他們的家。在安平港三十二海浬外的澎湖望安鄉東吉嶼。
丁丑年農曆七月十一日清晨，晴空萬里。外海雖然還稱不上波平如鏡，但對血液裏仍留著海水成分的東吉子民來說，這簡直是王爺保佑的絕佳好天氣。
一大早，來自嘉南，甚至高雄各地的同鄉，便陸續抵達，扶老攜幼，三代同船。這會兒上船的除了人之外，還包括各式打掃用具、寢具、釣具、泳具、露營用具以及送給仍住在海島上面的親人們的禮物。人還沒到家，港口倒先成了敘舊的地方。畢竟有的是一年未見，有的甚至是好幾年沒見。船，還沒出海，東吉嶼昔日的情境，早已濃的化不開。或許是自己的故鄉早已成為廢墟，因此對這一大群多數至少離家十幾年以上的人，竟然還有故鄉可以回，島上還有十二個親友尊長可以找，還有自己敬重的神明可以依賴，除了羨慕，更多的是感動。
東吉人回鄉普渡為王爺慶生的活動，今年已經是第七年了。令人感動的是人數有增無減，從一九九一的四、五十人到今年六百三十二人，返鄉漁船從六艘增加到今年九艘不夠，還得額外加上六艘機動竹筏。難怪，光上船名冊，就抄得兩位大哥手差點脫臼，說：出了校門到現在還不曾寫過這麼多字。
今年人數暴增，其實是有原因的。照東吉聯誼會長陳清對的說法是，這要感謝台電，因為去年十月，台電把東吉嶼列為儲存核廢料預定地見報之後，全國東吉人當下南北大串連，成立反核自救會，組成船隊，返鄉抗爭。反核成功之後，大家覺得「自救」兩個字好像太政治了，於是改名為「東吉聯誼會」。這聯誼會是在實際上也成了全台灣唯一不在故鄉的村民大會。不過為了表示與故鄉共存亡，目前把戶籍遷回東吉的，已增加到三百零七人，總共一百九十七戶人家。這完全是海上子民的血性作風。
而這一趟返鄉之行，對在東吉度過大半輩子的人，回鄉尋找的除了信仰、友情之外，更是生活的記憶。對年輕一輩來說，至少能重溫青春的年華，或者藍天大海的自在。至於生於台灣，長在台灣的最小一代，那就把它當成暑假的一次海外旅行吧！能回家，真好！
