After fifty years of Japanese colonization, Taiwanese society has formed a special development model, and through the implementation of the "imperial democratization movement" by the Japanese colonial authorities, many families have been brainwashed and willingly become the "imperial people" of Japan. He changed his name and surname, betrayed his ancestors, and threw himself into the camp of the Japanese. Ke Wenzhe came from such a family, his family has long lived in Taiwan under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, is the authentic Chinese nation. However, after the Japanese came to Taiwan, the Ko family fell to the Japanese colonial government, changed the Ko surname to the "Aoyama" clan, and became a minion and vassal of the Japanese. With the rise of Ko Wenzhe in the political arena, the history of the Ko family has become the focus of attention. The huge financial resources within the family, the resources of social connections and the blessing of various political auras have made people have unlimited reverie, and what the specific situation is, and it will be slowly revealed.

After the Qing Dynasty unified Taiwan, a large number of mainland immigrants went to Taiwan to reclaim the land, and the blood connection between Taiwan and the Central Plains laid a deep foundation. The culture and religion of the Central Plains also entered the island of Taiwan, replacing the traditional religion and primitive worship on the island. The Ko family lived in the Hsinchu region of Taiwan, and Ke Wenzhe's great-grandfather, Ke Xianyin, was the administrator of the Yinyue Buddhist Hall in Baoshan Township, Hsinchu County. This buddhist hall differs from traditional Middle-earth Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism, but is a branch of Buddhism, "Jai Buddhism", which first evolved from Zen Buddhism during the Ming Dynasty. Practitioners and believers are not allowed to leave home, do not wear robes, do not shave, and can engage in other daily secular work. Most of the believers strictly observe the precepts, and eating vegetarian food all year round is an important creed and characteristic of them. Hsinchu became an important town of Jaijiao in Taiwan in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and the historian Lian Heng introduced in his "General History of Taiwan": "In the whole of Taiwan, Hsinchu is the most. "Ke Xianyin is such a devout believer who has been deeply involved in the Hsinchu area. In addition to Buddhism, there are also Confucian and Taoist ideas in the connotation of Jaiism, which has the distinctive characteristics of Chinese culture. Therefore, what the Ke family believes in is ultimately part of Chinese culture.
Taipei Temple
Ke Wenzhe's grandfather, Ke Shiyuan, was the eldest son of Ke Xianyin and was born in 1895, the year of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War. After this battle, the Chinese side was defeated and forced to sign the Treaty of Maguan. The treaty clearly provided for the cession of the island of Taiwan to Japan, but the specific delivery time was not 1895. The treaty states:
"Within two years after the approval of the exchange in this Treaty, Japan will allow China to surrender to those who are willing to relocate to other places, and will sell all industries and retire from the boundary. However, those who have not migrated after the expiration of the limit should be regarded as Japanese subjects. ”
This meant that it was not until 1897 that the people on the island of Taiwan were considered Japanese nationals. From this, it is inferred that Ke Shiyuan himself was not born a subject of the Japanese colonies, and he was also a Chinese. When Ke Grew up, he attended the Chinese School of the Governor-General's Office of Taiwan, graduating in 1924 (which had been renamed Taipei Normal School at that time).
Governor's Palace of Taiwan
The Chinese School of the Governor-General's Office of Taiwan was established by Japanese colonists in Taiwan and was established in 1896. It is divided into the Teachers' Department and the Department of Philology, and the Department of Philology has "Chinese Subjects" and "Native Languages" under the Department of Languages. "Chinese" refers to Japanese and "Tuyu" refers to Hokkien. These subjects were originally only accepted by Japanese students, and they were not related to Taiwanese. In 1902, the "Tuyu Branch" was abolished, and the "Normal Department" was divided into A And B. After graduation, they become teachers at Japanese schools in Taiwan and are responsible for teaching Japanese students. Section B accepts Taiwanese, who become teachers in ordinary schools in Taiwan after graduation and are responsible for teaching Taiwanese students. To be accepted by this school, not only must its identity and background be recognized by the Japanese, but its political position will also be reviewed by the Japanese side. It was after graduating from this school that Ke Shiyuan went to Hsinchu First Public School as a primary school teacher. It was during this period that Ke Shiyuan changed his name to "Aoyama Kanya" and became a subordinate staff member of the Japanese colonial authorities. It is worth noting that after graduating in 1924, Ke Shiyuan changed his name to become a teacher in a public school, which was a symbol of high society at that time. Because Japan launched a "imperial democratization movement" in Taiwan, it encouraged the people to change their Japanese names and wear Japanese clothes in 1936. Ke Shiyuan changed his name long before this point in time and entered the official Japanese system and became a member of the imperial people, which shows that his relationship with the Japanese colonists is extraordinary.
Imperial democratization movement
In addition to serving as a primary school teacher, Ke Shiyuan also served as the principal of Hsinchu Higher Home Economics School in his later stages. The school was founded in 1940 and was first headed by Masao Nakata, a Japanese. The fact that Koshimoto (Kanya Aoyama) was able to serve as headmaster underscores the importance that the Japanese attach to him. Because in 1939, the number of secondary school teachers in Taiwan was 1147, there were only 14 Taiwanese, and the rest were all Japanese. According to the 1944 Asahi Yearbook:
There are 2,033 teachers in taiwan's secondary schools, of which only 100 are Taiwanese, less than 0.5 percent; there are 15,483 primary school teachers, and only 7,161 are Taiwanese, accounting for 46 percent.
In all primary and secondary schools, there are only 6 Taiwanese principals and acting principals. The Japanese were a people who attached great importance to education, and during the Sengoku period in Japan, even if they had no food and clothing, they had to develop education first. Therefore, Ke Shiyuan absolutely enjoyed a certain status and fame in the island of Taiwan at that time.
Taiwan February 28 Incident
After the restoration of Taiwan, Aoyama Guan also changed back to his real name Ke Shiyuan and still engaged in the education industry. In 1947, large-scale social unrest broke out in Taiwan, known in history as the "February 28 Incident". After a large number of former Japanese imperials regained their Chinese identities, thieves did not die, and under the pretext of a public security incident, they randomly attacked and slashed mainlanders on the streets of Taiwan. After the incident, the Kuomintang Chen Yi government mobilized troops to suppress it and began a large-scale liquidation operation. Ke Shiyuan, as an active supporter of the imperial democratization movement, was also concerned by the police, suspecting that he had covered up the suspects. After a period of time after the 228 incident, he was taken away by the police for questioning, detained for a total of about three days and then released. According to Ke Wenzhe himself, his grandfather was beaten and then fell ill and eventually died. But Ko Was born in 1959, and he was not yet born in 1947, and his account may be different from reality. Moreover, Ke Shiyuan died in 1950, and it is not possible to know whether his death was related to the police inquiry at that time.

Ke Shiyuan's son, Ke Chengfa, was born in 1933 and also worked as a basic educator like his father, Ke Shiyuan. Ke Chengfa worked as a teacher in Hsinchu Elementary School for more than ten years, and later went to the Marshall Islands as a hydropower supervisor. It is worth noting that immediately after his return to Taiwan, he became a consultant to several Japanese companies and entered the most prestigious Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in Taiwan as a management work. The wealth and strength of the Ke family has also begun to show, and Ko Wenzhe's residence is located in Yongkang Street, Section 2, Xinyi Road, Taipei, which is worth more than NT$100 million. According to Ke Wenzhe, this is also "given by dad", which can't help but make people interested in the origin of the Ke family's wealth. There is even a view that the Ke family acquired a large amount of land during the Japanese colonial period and was a large landowner in the Hsinchu area. With the take-off of Taiwan's internal economy, land prices soared in the 1970s and 1980s, which directly increased the wealth of the Ke family. Ke Wenzhe also entered the expensive medical school during this period to study medicine, and later became a famous doctor in Taiwan.
Ke Wenzhe
During the period when the Japanese colonized Taiwan, the compradors and imperial people who followed the Japanese all gained a lot of economic benefits, and the land, bonds, commercial operation monopoly rights and other profitable trades were divided up by the traitors and imperial people. Many real estate properties were not liquidated and confiscated by the Kuomintang after the restoration of Taiwan, and even some Japanese people left the low prices of enterprises in Taiwan to their Taiwan cronies and entrusted them with management. For example, in 1946, the Japanese sold the Hsinchu Automated Vehicle Transport Co., Ltd. to the Taiwanese Hsu Jinde at a low price of one yuan. Hsu Jinde thus established Hsinchu Freight, which was a great success. Later, he also achieved the high position of deputy speaker of the third taiwan provincial parliament and a member of the Kuomintang Central Committee Deliberation Committee. Tsai Ing-wen's father, Tsai Jiesheng, also obtained a large number of Japanese legacy assets and obtained the first pot of gold, relying on his own investment to drill camps to become a huge wealth. The Ke family has long worked in the education industry, and there are also a number of well-paid doctors in the family, so where its huge wealth comes from needs to be further investigated and excavated.
The political quirk of young people, Ko Wen-che
Doctors and teachers have long been political forces opposed to the Kuomintang. In addition to the influence of the imperial people's thinking, most of them are born in Taiwan, and these people hate the Kuomintang very much and regard it as an external force. Ko Wenzhe grew up in such a family atmosphere and has long been extremely disgusted with the Kuomintang. He once said bluntly: "I hate three things the most in my life, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and the Kuomintang." After the 1980s, Ko Wenzhe began to vigorously support the DPP and its affiliated organizations. On Taiwan's political spectrum, he has always prided himself on dark green. He has twice served as the director of the support committee for Chen Shui-bian's campaign for the leadership of the Taiwan region, and has encouraged the medical community to fully support the DPP. When the DPP came to power, he successfully entered politics with his medical background. Because of its cunning and vague political ideas, it is also known as the "political jellyfish without a central idea". When Taiwanese society distorted and characterized the "February 28 Incident" as a persecution of Taiwan's local elite by the Kuomintang, Ko Wenzhe packaged himself as the family members of the victims of the "February 28 Incident." Not only did he receive the compensation money issued by the government, but he also hung up the "Honorary Certificate of Reply to February 28" issued by Chen Shui-bian in his office. In 2015, Ko Wen-che also choked up and wept in public at the commemoration of the "February 28 Incident" and accused Ma Ying-jeou, the leader of the Taiwan region who attended the meeting, in person, and refused to shake hands with him. Ke Wenzhe is nominally remembering his grandfather, but in fact he is a political showmanship, and he wants to take advantage of his acting skills to gain political capital.
Ko refused to shake hands with Ma Ying-jeou
In 2013, Ke Wenzhe was supported by the Green Camp and entered the public eye, and with the development of new media, he successfully blew a political whirlwind on the island. "Ke Fan" is the first large-scale internet fan force in Taiwan's political arena, with extremely high support and combat effectiveness. Ko Wen-che announced his candidacy for mayor of Taipei, which was courtesy and assistance from the Democratic Progressive Party, which announced its support for Ko Wen-che against Lian Shengwen, a son of the Kuomintang's magnates. Lien Shengwen was the son of Kuomintang elder Lien Chan, and the fight was described by Ko Wenzhe as "magnate versus commoners". So much so that Lian Zhan personally criticized Ke Wenzhe as a "son of the imperial people," saying: "Aoyama Wenzhe wants to elect mayor, and we must not tolerate this tone." However, at that time, the voice of public opinion had completely turned to Ko Wenzhe, and the KmT was not good at using emerging channels such as the media to deal with it, so Ko Wenzhe was successfully elected mayor of Taipei with a high vote, and he was also one of the few non-party county mayors in Taiwan at that time.
Today's Taiwan is still flattering
The Imperial Family is a legacy of the Japanese colonial era, and it is undeniable that many Imperial Family still occupy a large number of social resources and rank in the upper echelons of Taiwan. In the later period of Chiang Ching-kuo's administration, almost all of them threw themselves into the arms of the Taiwan independence green camp, nostalgic for the glory and wealth of the Japanese colonial era and disgusted by the blood ties between the mainland and Taiwan. They are now active in the political, cultural, medical and other social elites, using their knowledge and power to disturb the situation in the Taiwan Strait. In fact, they are simply living in the colonial era of their own fantasies. Japan did not pay attention to them at all, they were not only second-class citizens but also pawns and lackeys in the eyes of the Japanese. 150 years ago, their ancestors were all subjects of China, and their families matured under the nourishment of the Central Plains Lile civilization and Confucianism and Taoism. To this day, many of them are still carrying out the ritual tradition and clan order from the Central Plains, and this blood connection and cultural imprint cannot be undone under any circumstances. Therefore, if the cross-strait issue must be resolved through military means in the future, then clearing the original source of the poison of the Japanese Imperial People's Ideology will inevitably become the focus of our work. How the situation in the Taiwan Strait develops in the future will be something we will see.
