Former President Ma Ying-jeou today (25) issued a document to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Taiwan’s recovery, criticizing some DPP members for ignoring history and confusion over national identity, emphasizing that “commemorating the recovery Taiwan is to commemorate the close relationship between the ROC and Taiwan. ” . Regarding the CCP’s role in the eight-year war of resistance, Ma Ying-jeou said, “Under the leadership and call of President Chiang Zhongzheng, the CCP participated in the war of resistance.”
Ma Ying-jeou posted on Facebook that today is the 75th anniversary of Taiwan’s recovery. To mark this important day, some people in the DPP actually said that it is about chanting the “one-China principle” with the other side and cooperating with China’s political struggle and operation against Taiwan. Some people insist on denying the historical facts of Taiwan’s recovery with the term “end of the war.” All kinds of silly comments highlight some people’s ignorance of history and the confusion of national identity.
Ma Ying-jeou stated that the Taiwanese people’s war of resistance against Japan began when the Qing court ceded Taiwan, 42 years before the incident on July 7, 1937. In 1894, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was defeated and the Qing court was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki in April Yiwei (1895) to cede Taiwan. The whole country was in shock and Taiwan was in mourning. Qiu Fengjia, a Taiwanese aspirant, wrote six poems about leaving Taiwan, including “The prime minister has the power to cede territories, but the lonely minister cannot return to heaven,” and the following year he wrote “Four million people cry at the same time, and Taiwan today cut off Taiwan last year, “which are deeply moving. The eulogy for a time truly reflects the heartbreaking pain of the Taiwanese at that time.
Ma Ying-jeou mentioned that after the cession of Taiwan, Japan originally thought that it could take over without problems. However, the Japanese army faced heavy resistance in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Changhua, Tainan, and Pingtung for six months. Most of the people in Taiwan are irregular troops, and they even have to use agricultural tools to fight the Japanese army, but their morale remains high, causing Japan to continue increasing its military strength to two divisions. The commander of the Guards Division, Prince Nohisa Kitashirakawa, and the commander of the Second Division, Major General Nobunari Yamane, were killed. In this “Yiwei War”. According to academics’ statistics, the death toll of Taiwanese officers and soldiers is approximately 78,000. If the civilian population is included, the total death toll exceeds 100,000, which is almost 3% of the population in that country. moment.
Ma Ying-jeou said that Taiwan’s anti-aggression and anti-colonial anti-Japanese armed operations did not end in the Battle of Yiwei, until the Tainan (Xilaian) Incident of 1915, which lasted 20 years, and then turned into anti-Japanese operations. no weapons. Including Qiu Fengjia and Liu Yongfu, who founded the “Democratic Country of Taiwan”, Wu Tangxing, Xu Xiang and Jiang Shaozu who organized the Hsinchu Rebel Army, the aboriginal Mona Ludao who led the Wushe incident, and Yu Qingfang, Luo Jun and Jiang Ding who started the Tainan Suba incident. In addition to many anti-Japanese journalists such as Lin Xiantang, Jiang Weishui, Liao Jinping, Weng Junming, Lian Yatang, Cai Peihuo, who promoted unarmed resistance against Japan, they have shown with their actions that the Taiwanese have demonstrated Taiwan’s subjectivity and loyalty to the homeland is definitely not Japan.
Ma Ying-jeou noted that the founding father was determined to overthrow the Manchu dynasty and establish the ROC due to the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the failure of the Second Clan. Because Japan invaded the northeast during the “September 18 Incident” in 1931 and cultivated the “Manchukuo Puppet,” President Chiang Zhongzheng first advocated “restoring Korea (Taiwan) and consolidating China,” and then declared war on Japan in 1941. At that time, the Shimonoseki Treaty was abolished and the Cairo Declaration in 1943 required Japan to return northeast China, Taiwan, and Penghu. Thanks to the victory of the anti-Japanese war, Taiwan was able to recover, return to the territory of the ROC and only then can it have the freedom, democracy and prosperity of today.
Ma Ying-jeou said that the restoration of Taiwan ended Japan’s repressive 50-year colonial rule, and also comforted the Taiwanese soldiers and civilians who had died fighting against Japan. To commemorate the recovery of Taiwan is to commemorate the close relationship between the ROC and Taiwan. Only thanks to the victory of the ROC will Taiwan be able to recover; with the recovery of Taiwan, the ROC will have legitimacy and legitimacy in Taiwan; Without the recovery of Taiwan, how could the “ROC of President Tsai Ing-wen stay in Taiwan”? Commemorating this history that is vital to the survival of the country should be the responsibility of every president of the ROC.
Ma Ying-jeou mentioned that regarding the CCP’s role in the eight-year War of Resistance, under the leadership and call of President Jiang Zhongzheng, the CCP participated in the War of Resistance and won the titles of the 18th Army Group and the New Fourth Army. However, the vast majority of the CCP participated in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. With the exception of the Battle of Pingxingguan, most of the frontal operations were carried out under the leadership of President Chiang of the Nationalist Government. Taiwan’s restoration proposal was also proposed by President Chiang in the September 18 incident. “Later, it was introduced and it became the policy of the Kuomintang.
Ma Ying-jeou criticized the nonsense between Taiwan’s recovery and the CCP’s “One China Principle” as too outrageous. I hope DPP friends read more modern history and criticize them.
