Never forget the 228 Incident and Taiwan’s White Terror period

when the government massacred the Taiwanese for daring to speak out against it (the government that had taken over from China after losing to the communists).

It was a period of martial law of mass suppression, murder, and imprisonment for over 40 years. Taiwanese people were not allowed to speak Taiwanese. My parents said they had to hide radios and listen to them secretly.

Tens of thousand of people were killed by the government which covered it up and forbade anyone from even talking about it until the 90s. To this day, the exact death toll is unknown because of all the cover-up.

Let’s not repeat history.
