In other words, there is a controversial temple in Taiwan, which is not dedicated to a god or a famous historical figure, but a foreigner, and this person is also a Japanese soldier during World War II! As everyone knows, the Japanese army invading China committed a heinous crime of common indignation on the mainland, and the government of a certain country is still unwilling to admit the crimes committed against the mainland in those years.
People who do not understand the situation may say that this is too absurd, Xiaobian also thought so at the beginning, then, people must have a reason for doing this, and then Xiaobian will take everyone to understand some of the causes and consequences of this temple.
This temple is located in the Annan District of Tainan Feihu General Temple, it is enshrined in a Japanese soldier named Sugiura Shigeho, Sugiura Shigeyama is the temple of the Flying Tiger General, this temple is responsible for burning incense for General Feihu every day, but also play the Japanese national anthem and naval anthem. Every year, Japanese people come here to pay their respects.
It is said that during World War II, Sugiura Shigeru was a Japanese air force. In 1944, he fought a fierce air battle with the US army in Tainan, and finally his fighter was hit by THE US military artillery, and it was about to fall in the densely populated residential area, in order not to cause innocent casualties due to the plane falling, he gave up the precious opportunity to jump the plane to escape, drove the plane to a sparsely populated place, in the process, he was hit by the US army and unfortunately died. If it were only because of this, the local people might not have built a temple specifically for Sugiura Shigeru. There's also a weird thing about that.
After the end of World War II, there began to appear some very strange phenomena in the place, often there are villagers who see "ghosts" wandering around this area, everyone is frightened all day long, and finally they really can't stand it, so they go to ask the gods, and the gods tell them that this "ghost" is Sugiura Shigemine, and since Sugiura Shigemine died here, his soul will stay here forever. The gods also gave Sugiura Shigemō the title of Flying Tiger General.
Therefore, the local villagers built such a temple dedicated to the sugiura Shigeho, and named it the Flying Tiger General Temple.
