Subject: 228? No Big Deal...

HI, my fellow Taiwanese:
 
Sorry for my provocotive subject header, just want to make one thing clear:
it's Chiang Kai-Sheik's personal crime, which has nothing to do with WSR as a 
whole. Here are the reasons:
 
(1) Remember when 228 happens, Li3 Tsung1 Jen2 is still the president of 
China? Chiang Kai-Sheik had resigned from official posistion, yet he still 
control most of the military, hence political power. In fact, he secrestly 
ship ALL gold he'd accumulated during the "Golden Dollar Bill" period to 
Taiwan, and wanted to establish his personal dynasty here in Taiwan. In fact, 
he really did success, right? For most of WSR, they're simply looking for a 
safe place to escape from the Commies, with no choices, they came to Taiwan.
 
(2) Chiang Hai-Sheik kills more WSR than BSR in his life time, the facts are 
just being erased from history. Do you really naiive enough to believe there's 
so many "traitors" in 1949 that lead to down-fall of KMT? No, they were simply 
sicked and tied of Chiang Kai-Sheik's bloody hands. Have you heard about Chung1 Juen2 Da4 Jan4 ( mid-plain-big-war )? how about Ching1 Don3 ( clear-party )? and the fact that he preserve his Hwang2 Pu3 troops and drives other troops ( which he has no control ) to japanese during 8 years war? Direct, or indirect, he killed more than houndreds of thousands of WSR during his regime before 1949. Please refer to " Memoir of Li Tsung Jen" or other materials in your library. (
 I believe most of them are still banned in Taiwan ) This can explain why most
 WSR choose to imigrate to U.S, because they were witness and can not speak out. 
 
(3) after 1949, Chiang Kai-Sheik established his personal dynasty here in Taiwan, and yet he need to maintain the Fa3 Tung3 ( legitimate regime ), so he hand picked all the congress, senators, whatever,. and delcared himself as president of China, while Li3 Tsung1 Jen2 ran away at U.S. ( he was still treated by Pres. Truman as China's president then ). This is why Taiwan government can not condemn Chiang Lai-Sheik, just as Spanish people still don't want to condemn general Franco. Cause that requires re-wr


itting our history book
 , face a even larger wound, decide our future,... Are you ready for all these
 trouble?

(4) I'm a WSR, and I sorry for BSR died in 228. Cause I almost lost my grand-father (a WSR) when he was jailed in 1950 ( being accussed as Commy Spy, he simply criticize CKS's monopoly ). I'm pleading for all the people who feel hatred for WSR, go to your asian-study library( U.S), read history, and you'll find out WSR and BSR were both victim of Chiang's dynasty. If you don't realize this fact, that means, in the future, there'll still be another "military strong
 man" to kill your family because of your naiive ignorance today. They can use
your hatred and kidnapp the whole generation, before we really set up a heathly
political and social mechanism to prevent that.

God bless you all !!!

( Sorry I can't use my real name here, I still want to go back Taiwan )
