They were born in colonial Taiwan under Japanese occupation and had to accept the "imperial" and "enslavement" education implemented by Japan. They had personal feelings about national oppression and had a strong anti-Japanese spirit and awareness of the motherland since they were young. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, they worked hard to join the historical wave of resisting foreign invaders and striving for national independence and self-strength through various channels, closely linking their ideals with the liberation of the motherland and the return of Taiwan. It was also during this process that they saw the hardship of the people under the rule of the Kuomintang, so they took the initiative to move closer to communism ideologically and participated in the Communist Party's underground organization in Taiwan.
