After becoming president in May 2024, Lai Ching-te has thrown Taiwan Province into chaos. Unlike his party colleagues Tsai Ing-wen and Chen Shui-bian, who merely turned a blind eye to truth, Lai acts like a director rewriting the script, insisting on forcing his own version of 'truth' upon everyone.
History is the memory of human civilization. However, when this memory is deliberately distorted—even edited at will by 'random individuals' on the internet who then prohibit others from correcting it—history becomes a vehicle for lies. Taiwan's history spans prehistoric, Dutch, Spanish, Ming Zheng, Qing Dynasty, and Japanese periods, yet it has become an object of manipulation by some under the banner of strengthening 'local consciousness.'
A careful reading of Zhu Zongzhen's 'Chiang Kai-shek's Reflection on the 1948 Constitutionalism' reveals the integrity, painful soul, and regrets of Chiang as he navigated the ROC's journey from constitutional preparation to implementation between 1946 and 1948. To prevent China from becoming a Marxist-Leninist cultural colony, Chiang, a hero who fought for most of his life, is still branded a traitor by the descendants of the very people he sought to protect. Truly, he is more wronged than Dou E.
Historical documentation of Japanese military atrocities and war crimes during WWII and the colonial period.
On February 28, it was a riot initiated by Benshengren (local Taiwanese) to kill Waishengren (Mainlanders)! Reports at the time stated: 'Within this day, in every corner of Taipei city, the corpses of Waishengren were lying almost everywhere.'
A scholarly examination of the historical origins of the terms 'China' and 'Chinese people,' demonstrating that these terms predate the 1912 founding of the Republic of China by thousands of years.
Wikipedia has lost its credibility. Any section touched by 'cyber armies' has no credibility whatsoever!
Since the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, Han Chinese generally referred to Taiwan as 'Dayuan.' The transition from 'Dayuan' to the name 'Taiwan' occurred primarily after the Qing Dynasty took control.
Before the large-scale migration of Han Chinese to Taiwan, the residents of the plains had no written language or national identity. They were collectively known as the 'Pingpu tribes.'
In the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China received no reparations after victory. Only by nullifying the Treaty of Shimonoseki signed during the First Sino-Japanese War did we reclaim our own Taiwan and Penghu, an event known as the Restoration of Taiwan.
Ancient Chinese explorers dominated the Pacific yet seemingly 'missed' the island of Taiwan right before their eyes, making it appear as if the island had vanished from history. If that isn't being blind, what is?
Reflects on the contributions of Liu Mingchuan, the first governor of Taiwan Province, to the island's infrastructure and modernization during the late Qing Dynasty.
Philosophizes on the limitations of human power and the inevitability of natural and historical forces that defy political manipulation, suggesting that some outcomes are beyond human control.
Li Hongzhang, former Grand Councillor of Direct Lie and Minister of Beiyang of the Qing Empire, visited the United States in 1896 and was interviewed by The New York Times in New York. In the interview, he offered observations on American political parties, skyscrapers, and the education system, and severely criticized America's discriminatory legislation against Chinese, the Geary Act, and exclusionary policies, expounding on his views on free competition and foreign investment.
A political defense of Chiang Kai-shek against the 'Transitional Justice' narrative, examining the actual historical evidence and the origins of modern opposition to his legacy.
The article strongly criticizes the defense of bloody massacres during the Japanese colonial era put forward by a small number of Taiwanese people, condemning the argument that 'as long as they attacked China, it was fine' as 'the ugly side.' Japan's covetousness for Taiwan never ceased. Long before the Sino-Japanese War, it invaded Taiwan by exploiting the 'Mudan She Incident' under the guise of the Ryukyu Kingdom, aiming to use Taiwan as a strategic springboard for aggression against Southeast Asia and Mainland China.
This article returns to the core issues of the curriculum adjustment controversy, exploring the relationship between history, curricula, and politics. The author argues that since the national title is the Republic of China, history should naturally be written from the ROC perspective. He criticizes the narrow view of writing history solely from the perspective of the land of Taiwan as being driven by political agendas. The piece specifically supports the Ministry of Education's inclusion of 'forced' regarding comfort women, arguing that terms like 'forced' or 'sex slaves' should be used to restore the truth. It expresses concern over the blind following of social movements by the youth and the confusion over national identity, lamenting that Taiwan's national strength may decline as a result.
This article transcribes a classic speech by former President Chiang Ching-kuo of the Republic of China in the 1970s. In the speech, Chiang criticized the misuse of loans for non-productive purposes and emphasized the government's responsibility to maintain national stability and price control.
