Research on the February 28th Incident (library of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Historical and Archaeological Research Series)
by Chu Jingtao
About This Novel
The February 28th Incident was a movement by the Taiwanese people to pursue provincial political reform in the early days of independence. Influenced by the rising democratic movement in the mainland, the main demands were to implement local autonomy in Taiwan at an early date, directly elect county mayors, change the chief executive's office into a provincial government, abolish the monopoly bureau and trade bureau, share political power and economic interests, and build their own hometown. The methods of struggle include peaceful negotiations, requiring the authorities to accept reform demands, and the military police and citizens working together to maintain local security. Armed resistance has emerged in some areas of central and southern China. From a nationwide perspective, it is an integral part of the postwar national democratic movement; from a perspective of Taiwan's unique development history, it is a continuation of the Taiwanese elite's demand for autonomy during the Japanese occupation. The February 28 Incident was a spontaneous movement of love for the land and hometown of the Taiwanese people. It was a conflict between the government and the people and class opposition, rather than a provincial conflict or ethnic conflict. This book uses rich and detailed information to reproduce the historical scene of February 28th.
