S2-E29 - The "Most Powerful Witness" to Modern Taiwan's History: Wu Zhuo-liu (吳濁流) - Part One

Sadly, the bloodshed and sorrow that began on February 28, 1947
(228) is the foundational story of post-Japanese Taiwan. Wu
Zhou-liu (吳濁流), an ethnically-Hakka poet, writer, and
journalist, was born in 1900 and died in 1976, his life
effectively spanning the tumultuous birth of the nation. He
experienced and documented colonial rule, WWII, the Japanese
departure, and the hopeful first days of a "New China" which
turned so quickly to violent tragedy. Wu's writings are today
considered some of the most important of the modern era, but he
remains mostly unknown to much of the world. Here is the
beginning of Wu Zhou-liu's story.
