Despite the attempts of the #KMT to put a lid on the topic, the crackdown that followed the #228incident has left deep divisions within #Taiwan's society, notably between people who lived on Taiwan under Japanese rule and new arrivals due to the Chinese civil war. If you're not familiar with this, go browse for #waishengren. And for #WhiteTerror, while you're at it. Or better yet: Read George Kerr's #FormosaBetrayed or Peng Ming-min's «A Taste of Freedom». #228memorial

On this particular day, my thoughts go out to all those who perished or suffered at the hands of the #KMT's authoritarian rule in #Taiwan and the crackdown after the #228incident known as #whiteterror. This is a crucial day for #civicrights and #humanrights in #FarEast, really. #neveragain
