228 Incident Remembrance – Speak Up for Taiwan
by Oops

February the 28th of 1947, a horrible incident took place in Taiwan (Formosa - the beautiful island.) This tragedy was the most brutal massacre in Taiwan’s modern history. The murderer was Chiang Kai-Shek’s KMT regime, and the victims of this genocide were hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians. (Chiang Kai-Shek, a nationalist who led a party called KMT.

Chiang and his KMT were beaten up by China Communist during the civil war in the late 40s and they fled away from China.

Crossed the Taiwan Strait, Chiang came to Taiwan and he reigned this island as a foreign ruler. Please refer to here for more details of 228 Incident.)

Briefly, 228 Incident started an arbitrary tyranny which had been oppressing Taiwanese for 50 years. This historical incident was a nightmare for every Taiwanese, especially for those whose families have been killed in the incident and all the innocent civilians were executed as the traitors afterwards.

People had been suffering until lately 228 Incident was recognized as a criminal-like brutality. However, do you think they could have had an acquittal? No. They have already been murdered. Do you think we can prosecute the instigator? No. He is still being honoured by those hypocrites.

Moreover, Chiang Kai-Shek regime’s great China ideology has brought us into a miserable state without any identity and leaves China an excuse to annex Taiwan.

Honest Taiwanese are generous and forgiving. But, none of us could ever forget this incident and all the things that KMT regime has ever done to us. And all the mental and physical harms are implacable. We would never compromise with any lame excuses and some scapegoats. All the victims and their families deserve a dignity and redressal. We’ll never be giving up in doing all our best and fighting with the evildoers.

The memorial 228 Incident (February the twenty-eighth) is imminent. We sincerely invite you, all old friends and new friends of Taiwan to pay your condolences and pray for those victims in 228 Incident, pray for a world with integrity, and pray for Taiwan. We also petition for an international recognition as an independent country in spite of the suppression from China and without any concession against all the unfair and unjust treatment.

At the same moment while you are praying, you may also sound it out for Taiwan through the Internet.

We have no intentions to carry up any hatred and distrust. We only want all the people who sacrificed for this land can be granted dignity and peace. And those who committed the iniquity to them will truly say sorry to the victims.

Your prayers definitely are our strength, and without your help, we surely will never have chance to peacefully accomplish our goal of being an independent country.

God make us servants of His peace:
where there is hate, may we sow love;
where there is hurt, may we forgive;
where there is strife, may we make one.

God bless us all, and Taiwan.
