At 10:00 a.m. on October 25, 1945, the surrender ceremony of Taiwan Province in the Chinese Theater of Operations of World War II was solemnly held at the Taipei Public Hall, and General Chen Yi accepted the surrender of Riki Ando, the last governor of Taiwan and commander of the Tenth Front of the Japanese Army, on behalf of the Nationalist government. Marking the official return of Taiwan and its affiliated islands to the motherland after 50 years of Japanese colonial rule, this day has also become the anniversary of Taiwan's restoration.
Taiwan's restoration
A few days before the ceremony, a general was preparing for his return to Taiwan in Xiamen, and he climbed the Five Old Peak with great joy and carved two big characters - Fujiang!
This general is Li Youbang, and the word "fujiang" also appears on the armband of the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade he founded.
Restoration
Born in Taipei on April 10, 1906, Li Youbang was a brother to Lin Mushun, one of the founders of the Communist Party of Taiwan, while studying at the Taipei Normal School. In 1924, he was wanted for organizing a night raid on the Japanese police station, and had to come to Guangzhou and enter the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. During his school years, he participated in the Taiwan Students' Federation, the Taiwan Revolutionary Youth League and other organizations, and was cultivated by Liao Zhongkai and had close ties with the Communist Party of China.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek carried out the "cleansing of the party", and Li Youbang went to Hangzhou to secretly engage in revolutionary activities, but in 1932 he was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang authorities. During this period, his two younger brothers were killed by Japanese agents.

After the Xi'an Incident, the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was reached, and Li Youbang was finally released. He immediately rushed to Jinhua to set out to form the Taiwan Independent Revolutionary Party, which read: "Expel all forces of Japanese imperialism in Taiwan, in state relations, break away from its rule and return to the motherland." After that, Li Youbang came to Wuyishan, Fujian Province, to recruit Taiwan compatriots to prepare for the establishment of an anti-Japanese armed force. During this period, the Zhejiang Provincial CPC Committee sent Luo Gengmo, later deputy director of the State Planning Commission, and Zhang Bilai, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, to assist him in his work.
In 1939, with the approval of the Military Commission of the National Government, the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade was formally established, with Li Youbang as the captain of major general, and the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade Youth League was also established.

In order to show the anti-Japanese will of the Volunteer Brigade, the Secretary General of the Volunteer Brigade and the famous musician He Luting together created the Taiwan Volunteer Team Song, which sang:
"Resist the War for Justice, Defend the Motherland, and Liberate Taiwan!"
After the establishment of the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade, it has made many contributions to the enemy's political work, medical assistance, publicity and education, and so on. They set up hospitals in Jinhua, Quzhou, and other places to treat officers and soldiers and the poor people free of charge; established pharmaceutical cooperatives to produce urgently needed drugs; intercepted Japanese intelligence and provided them to the Chinese army; and also attacked Japanese warehouses in Xiamen several times, causing dozens of casualties among the Japanese army.

While fighting the Japanese army, the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade is also growing. By 1944, the number had grown from 60 to nearly 400, and the Nationalist government had reorganized the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade into the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade in that year, and Li Youbang had been promoted to lieutenant general.
In 1945, the end of the Japanese invaders was approaching, and the Taiwan Volunteer Corps was also preparing for the restoration of Taiwan under the leadership of Li Youbang.
Restoration Armband
On September 2, 1945, Japan officially signed the Instrument of Surrender, and the Chinese nation finally won a complete victory in the War of National Independence. The next day, Li Youbang sent Deputy Commander Zhang Shide back to Taiwan and raised Taiwan's first national flag after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression at the Taipei Hotel.
A few days later, Li Youbang led the Volunteer Brigade back to Taiwan. Just as he was full of hope and ready to plunge into the tide of building Taiwan, the Kuomintang authorities forcibly disbanded the Taiwan Volunteer Brigade, and Li Youbang was appointed director of the Taiwan Branch of the Three People's Principles Youth League. When the February 28 Incident broke out in 1947, Li Youbang was arrested on charges of banditry, but thanks to Chiang Ching-kuo's intercession, he was released.
In 1950, the famous "Wu Shi Case" broke out, and Chiang Kai-shek immediately began a large-scale arrest. In line with the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one", a large number of innocent people have been implicated, and Li Youbang is also one of them. Because zhu Feng, an underground party member, had visited Li Youbang's wife, Yan Xiufeng, after obtaining information, and because Li Youbang's subordinate Pan Hua was a member of the Chinese Communist Party during his work in the Three Youth League, and because he had close ties with the Chinese Communist Party in his early years, the Kuomintang immediately arrested Li Youbang on charges of "harboring and harboring CCP spies" and "having already joined the CCP organization."

According to gu zhengwen, a Kuomintang agent who handled the case that year, at a meeting of the Kuomintang's Taiwan Provincial Party Reorganization In November 1951, Chiang Kai-shek said with a strained face: "Li Youbang, you underestimate me too much, do you think I don't know that you are a traitor?" He then ordered the gendarmes to take Li Youbang out. Afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek trained for another hour, scolding the people present for being insensitive and insensitive, and the "traitors" were around but did not know it.
On April 22, 1952, Li Youbang, who was already seriously ill, was still carried on a stretcher to the Taipei Babachi Execution Ground for execution, and a generation of anti-Japanese heroes died in an unjust case at the age of 46.
Today, in the Taiwan Volunteer Army Memorial Hall at No. 18 Jiufang Lane in Jinhua, there is still a statue of General Li Youbang, whose lofty patriotic spirit and national integrity are jointly recited by compatriots on both sides of the strait.

The general's wife, Yan Xiufeng, was twice invited to Beijing to attend a symposium to commemorate the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, at which he said:
"I hope that in my lifetime, with the joint efforts of compatriots on both sides of the strait, we will realize the peaceful reunification of the motherland at an early date." This is my wish, and it is also the common wish of Taiwan's villagers, including General Li Youbang. ”
