228

The 228 massacre, is a popular anti-government uprising in Taiwan that began on February 28, 1947, and was violently repressed by the ruling Chinese Nationalist Party: the Kuomintang, then led from the mainland by Chiang Kai-shek. Estimates of the number of dead vary from 10,000 to 30,000. This massacre marked the beginning of the White Terror, during which tens of thousands of Taiwanese were reported missing, dead or imprisoned. The incident is one of the most important events in modern Taiwanese history and gave a major impetus to Taiwan's independence movement.

So on 02/28/2022, hundreds of Taiwanese gathered in a solemn and intergenerational memorial march to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the 228 massacre.
