Some time ago, Taiwan's "Executive Yuan" was once again "reorganized," and its "Executive Yuan Spokesperson" was also replaced; Xu Guoyong, who had previously "really had clean coal," was promoted to "Minister of the Interior," while the new "Executive Yuan Spokesperson" was kolas yotaka from Taiwan's ethnic minority " Ami ethnic group.
The lady was naturally very happy to hear that she had been "promoted," but the next day, someone pointed out that not only had she been sentenced for drunk driving, but that her "Taiwan independence" and strong pro-Japanese complex surprised many people, and it was said that she strongly opposed the use of Chinese to mark her name and demanded that she must use Latin letters.
But maybe she never imagined that when the Japanese ruled Taiwan, she gave her the surname of her ancestors, which she was quite proud of, and after translating it into Chinese, it actually meant "prostitute".
Now this Taiwanese ethnic minority lady, who claims that "the restoration of Taiwan is the beginning of suffering," has taken office.
But judging by her performance, it is clear that her Stockholm syndrome has not yet healed. In fact, if she looks at history a little, she will find that her approach is not only not to "win glory for the indigenous people," but to humiliate the ancestors of Taiwan's ethnic minorities who have resisted foreign invasions for hundreds of years and have no hesitation in resisting.
The mainland generally refers to Taiwan's ethnic minorities as "mountain tribes." This name is the general name of the Chinese government for ethnic minorities in Taiwan Province after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945.
However, depending on language habits and settlement areas, the Alpine people actually include many ethnic groups.
As of August 2008, the Executive Yuan of the Taiwan authorities had identified and recognized a total of 14 ethnic groups, including the Ami, Paiwan, Beinan, Zou, Saixia, Dawu, Shao, Karmalan, Taroko, Saqilaiya, Saidek, Taiya, Bunun, and Rukai. Taiwan's ethnic minorities, mostly distributed in the Central Mountains and the islands in the southeast, have their own language, although there is no writing, but oral literature is rich, with myths, legends and folk songs passed down through the generations.
Taiwan's mountain people have always been known for their bold temperament and hospitality, and have lived with the Han Chinese who have emigrated to Taiwan for thousands of years, not only opening up a rich treasure island, but also resisting foreign aggression.
In 1563, the Wokou who harassed China's southeast coast once invaded Taiwan in large numbers, burning and plundering the alpine tribes in the Keelung area, when these alpine tribes used the most primitive bows and arrows and javelins to fight to the death against the Wokou with sophisticated fire bolts, giving the intruders a powerful response.
Thirty years later, in 1593, Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan wrote a letter to the Takayama clan, inducing the Takayama people to pay tribute to Japan, but the Takayama clan also resolutely resisted. But then, the Wokou occupied Taiwan, and in 1603, shen Yourong, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, defended the Golden Gate, planning to annihilate them all, so he took twenty-one ships out to sea, encountered a typhoon, and only survived fourteen ships. When passing through Penghu and encountering Wukou, Shen Yourong commanded his soldiers to attack Wukou, killing several enemy people, then setting fire to the six boats that sank Wukou, and then beheading the heads of fifteen enemies and recapturing more than 370 men and women.
Unable to continue the confrontation, wokou had to flee Taiwan, so the Taiwan Strait was stable for ten years. When Shen Yourong landed in victory, the people of the Mountain Tribe rejoiced, helped the old and the young, and enthusiastically rewarded the army from the mainland with pot pulp and deer.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Dutch colonists began to expand to the east, invading Penghu twice in 1603 and 1622, and in 1624, after being driven out of Penghu by the Ming army, they began to occupy Tainan again.
Two years later, the Spanish colonists also invaded northern Taiwan, invaded Keelung and Tamsui, and were defeated by Dutch colonists in 1624 and withdrew from Taiwan.
From the first day of the Dutch and Spanish colonialists' invasion of Taiwan, they were constantly resisted by the Taiwanese Alpine and Han chinese.
In 1632, the Spanish colonists tried to occupy Yilan to expand their occupation area, but due to the stubborn resistance of the local mountain people, they were unable to succeed.
After the Dutch colonists occupied Taiwan, they practiced brutal colonial rule in the occupied areas, which also provoked countless uprisings of the people of all ethnic groups in Taiwan.
In 1652, Guo Huaiyi led a revolt against the Netherlands, which was the largest of them. During the uprising, the Mountain tribe and the Han people fought against each other, dealing a heavy blow to the Dutch invaders. Although the uprising ultimately failed, the mood against the Dutch colonists was even higher.
Ten years later, Zheng Chenggong personally led 25,000 soldiers into Taiwan, and with the support of the Han and Mountain tribes, in February of the following year, finally expelled the Dutch and recovered Taiwan.
Since then, Taiwan has ended thirty-eight years of Dutch colonial rule.
After the Opium War, China declined even more, and any country with some military strength in the world could run to this land to fish in muddy waters.
In March 1867, just two years after the end of the Civil War, his merchant ship "Rofo" sank while sailing through the sea surface of Qixingyan at the southern tip of Taiwan, and the captain Hunter and his wife and fourteen sailors landed in a small boat at The Puppet Point in Hengchun and were all killed by the local mountain tribes. In April of that year, li Xiande, the U.S. consul in Xiamen, went so far as to lead the warship "Ashura" to directly invade Hengchun, but was finally defeated by the stubborn resistance of the people of the mountain tribes.
Two months later, Admiral Bell led the U.S. army to land in Hengchun to carry out a sneak attack, but was still stubbornly blocked by the Mountain Clan, and even his deputy captain Ma Kaiji was killed on the spot. In September, Li Xiande went so far as to coerce the Qing government to send troops to escort him to Hengchun in an attempt to take advantage of the weakness of the Qing court and once again suppress the Gaoshan clan, but the local golems of the Eighteenth Society, under the leadership of the leader Zhuo Qidu, formed an armed force of 2,000 people to wait in a strict formation, and with the support of the local Han people, Li Xiande saw that he could not get a bargain and could only sit down to negotiate.
In October, Zhuo Qidu led more than 200 people to negotiate with Li Xiande, and during the negotiations, Zhuo Qidu categorically refused Li Xiande's request to build a fort in Taiwan, and told Li Xiande: This is China's territory, you want peace, we will talk peace with you, you want war, we will fight with you, and the US ships that you will come and go in the future must first hang red flags when they need to go ashore to replenish their supplies, and they will never be allowed to land on the shore without seeing the answer that there is a red flag on the shore!
Although the United States failed to invade and occupy Taiwan, Japan, with the support of the United States, launched an armed invasion of Taiwan in 1874.
The Japanese government sent 3,600 troops, the United States sent officers to participate in the command directly, and supplied Japanese munitions and ships, and the American postal ship "New York" also came to transport troops for Japan. On May 8 of the same year, the Japanese army forcibly landed in Hengchun, and the soldiers attacked the alpine villages in three ways, and when attacking Guishan, the people of the Alpine tribes of the Peony Society, taking advantage of their geographical advantages, skillfully intercepted the enemy, making the Japanese army gradually defeated and retreated. In the process of resistance, the Alpine people used primitive weapons, even stones and wooden sticks to resist the Japanese army, and when defending the Shimen Fortress, the father and son of the Alpine Clan of the Peony Society, as well as more than thirty people, sacrificed heroically. Under the tenacious counterattack of the Gaoshan clan, the Japanese army suffered more than 560 casualties and was finally forced to retreat.
At the end of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, China was defeated miserably, and the Qing court ceded the main island of Taiwan and its affiliated islands to Japan, and Since then Taiwan has been colonized by Japan for fifty years.
The news of the cession of Taiwan spread throughout the land of China, and the High Mountain People of Taiwan were strongly dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "I would rather everyone die in battle than be a slave to the country."
When the Japanese army sent a Guard Division with Prince Nohisa Shirakawa as the commander of the division to land in Taiwan, the Takayama and Han tribes in Taiwan immediately organized an army to resist the Japanese army. In just one of the inner mountain areas of central Taiwan, there are more than 10,000 mountain warriors who have joined the military camp. In the Battle of Zengwenxi, 700 mountain warriors cooperated with the rebels to hold their positions, and finally all of them were martyred. During the five-month revolt against the Japanese army, the number of Japanese casualties reached more than 32,000, and the main guard division was annihilated by nearly half, and even the commander Kita Shirakawa Nobuhisa was seriously wounded and died in Taiwan.
The port of Kaohsiung during the Japanese occupation
In 1930, the famous "Wushe Uprising" occurred in Nantou, which was the largest anti-Japanese armed uprising of the Taiwanese Mountain Tribe during the period when The Japanese ruled Taiwan.
At that time, the Japanese colonizer Kirisho set up eighteen police stations to brutally oppress and enslave the people of the Takayama clan, the Kirisho Takayama clan could not bear the oppression and humiliation, under the leadership of Mona Rodao, launched a huge armed uprising, Mona Rodao contacted the Kirisame and the masses of the Takayama clan of nearby societies, secretly organized an armed force of more than three hundred people, they attacked the Japanese police station at night, snatched more than 180 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and the number of armed people increased to 1,500.
Just on October 27, in order to celebrate the victory in the occupation of Taiwan, the Japanese held an autumn sports meeting at the Kirisha Public School, the games had just opened, and the Japanese were rejoicing, when the rebels who were ambushed around the stadium suddenly attacked the sports field from all sides, and after three days of fierce fighting, the Japanese troops entrenched in the Kirisha were completely wiped out by the Takayama clan.
The Japanese top brass hastily transferred all the elite troops stationed in Taiwan and massacred the Takayama clan with aircraft cannons, and the rebel army finally ran out of ammunition and food after half a year of insisting on resisting, while the leader, Mona Rodao, and other fighters all died heroically at Bukassa Creek.
For hundreds of years, Taiwan's mountain tribes have never been absent in defending China's territory, and their bravery and their deeds will remain in history for a long time, and after thousands of years, opening the history books and re-looking at their past will still shock future generations.
And those who suffer from Stockholm syndrome because of the invasion, all words and deeds will remain in history, and will also make future generations "shocked", but in this "shock", the difference is not only the simple words in the history books, but the completely different spirit hidden behind it!
