The Second Opium War (1856-1860) lead to the opening of Danshui,
near Taipei, and Anping (Tainan) as treaty ports. Soon after, the
Qing authorities opened Takao (Kaohsiung) and Keelung to foreign
ships. First came the foreign traders, then the
missionaries... one of the latter would become a household name
on the island: George Leslie Mackay, a man who used his
dentistry skills -- and a pair of pliers -- to help spread the
word.
