In a word, I was softened into tears by this speech.
Professor Chen Yaochang told the history of Taiwan. In the Nan Sha Point Agreement, Taiwan is the Taiwan of the Taiwanese. Eventually becoming Taiwan is a Taiwan that has the same prosperity of all groups!
The development of the new historicism is coming. Our history should be based on the forward direction of the various ethnic groups at that time. It is the local history of the Han nationality and the aboriginal people in Taiwan, which allow us to better understand the development and context of the local society in Taiwan.
The Rover Incident (羅妹號事件)occurred on 12 March 1867 when the American merchant ship Rover, captained by Joseph Hunt. As the current drifted to the South Bay, this incident changed Taiwan’s history.
The Rukai and Paiwan tribes are called Kui Lei Fan and Taimu Mountain is called Kui Lei mountain as well. Seqalu in a way are Paiwanlized Puyuma people.
However, Guillaum Joseph Émile Le Gendre(李仙得)created a butterfly effect. From the Rover incident in 1867 to the Mudan incident in 1874 to 1875, Taiwan eventually became one of Japan in 1895 and entered Japanese Empire. In 1949, the KMT arrived, Multiculturalism blossoms and forming today's intricate, cross-strait relations and relations between Taiwan and Japan. Taiwan has integrated into the common living body.
By describing the book which is called Dawn of Formosa. As a resistance against Japanese aggression, Lu Bing Ding (盧丙丁)was sent to the psychiatric center. At that time the Japanese and the Taiwanese doctors hold different opinions especially Lu’s identity were in the political blacklist. Sadly the Mental-Illness Destigmatization just has occurred in Taiwan in the past ten years.
Meanwhile, Professor Chen talked about the defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War in 1968. It affected Taiwan a lot was that we have lost the position of rear supply. After ten years On December 15, 1978, the U.S. government unilaterally announced to break formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
Finally, Professor Chen mentioned the "DNA" he wrote.The richness and complexity of the genes of Taiwanese are far beyond our imagination. Each special gene represents a migration story and represents a multi-ethnic group, common prosperity of Taiwan, and the common pursuit of glory. He hopes that these precious information will enable each other to cherish and respect the diverse cultures of this land more, unite more, and pursue the prosperity of ethnic groups together.
Professor Chen said: "A country is not determined by blood, but the country's social system and social values!" The past glory might not be copied again. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Each of our choice will create a new road for Taiwan. Everyone is an important existence on this beautiful island. Through fiction and history, we can achieve a certain effect on the way forward.
For the history of Taiwan, for the historical record of Taiwan, the most important thing is that no matter what race we are, we should be prosperous together!
