Your films have consistently dealt with aspects of taiwan s history and lifestyle. The works of Hou Hsiaohsien make up a cultural history of taiwan.
http://www.asianfilms.org/taiwan/hou-shadows.html

Extractions: I had always wanted to film Li Tien-luk as a subject because I feel that he is like a living encyclopaedia of Chinese tradition. In filming him, it is as if I am flicking through the pages of this encyclopaedia. He is different from our generation, has none of the modern penchant for rationalization, none of our setbacks or negative qualities, or our pain. People from that age would tackle problems with flexibility but from a strong principled position. Life and death and social relationships to them are straightforward propositions. Simply put, I see in Li Tien-luk the ardent self-confidence of the Chinese and their generosity of heart. In modern Taiwan, these qualities have all but vanished. Ever since the end of the Ching era, the Chinese people have completely lost their sense of national self-confidence. The May 4th Movement exerted some good influence, but it also made a fetish of the West and created an attitude that rejected tradition. Taiwan has inherited a legacy of influences from Japanese culture - we had 50 years of existence as a Japanese colony after all. During the Korean War, we drew closer to America and imbibed its culture and influence. I feel our generation has a responsibility to conserve the beauty of our own traditions, and to disseminate them using he tools of our age and from our own perspective. In this way, the best and most worthwhile of our traditions will be passed on to the next generation.
From The Deputy Director's Desk: And They Killed No Enemy: Taiwan's Landmines, B
The rich history of taiwan is fascinating and the sometimes bewildering status of this global http//www.regit.com/regitour/taiwan/about/history.htm
http://maic.jmu.edu/journal/2.3/editors/taiwan.htm

Extractions: Deputy Director, HDIC Landmines are a remarkably wonderful little invention...from a military view. Since their systematic introduction to warfare doctrine in the spring of 1862 in the American Civil War, they have been used to deter, route, terrorize and harass opposing forces. Though their moral foundation has been in question since the beginning, little serious thought has been given to the effect of these perfect little soldiers on non-combatantsuntil recently. Our dark history provides numerous examples of the post-conflict madness inflicted by landmines and the other hubris of war on communities at peace. Rarely, however, do we find a case where landmines planted in defense killed no enemy but inflicted casualties only on the people they were meant to protect. Welcome to Kinmen Island. Kinmen Island was not a pleasant place to be on the morning of October 25, 1949. Just after 2:00 in the morning, about 10,000 Communist Chinese of their 10th Corps made the short 10 kilometer trip from mainland China to the shores of Kinmen landing between Lunghou and Kuningtou in Houchiang Bay. It took over 200 fishing boats to move them. Because of this, they could carry only light weapons and field artillery and a limited supply of ammunition. They had to be mobile and quick. What they thought was their biggest asset turned out to be their biggest liability and downfall. Though there were approximately 12,000 defenders on Kinmen, the invading Communists broke through the islands defenses in less than 40 minutes. At 2:00 in the afternoon, General Kao Kuei-Yuan regrouped the island forces and led the counterattack by Division 118 from Hunan Hill. With the help of about 22 old M-5A1 tanks acquired from the United States (nicknamed the "Bear of Kinmen"), the Communists were stopped, and eventually routed. Without any heavy weapons to counter the tanks, the Chinese were forced to retreat. Their escape was cut off by the destruction of their fishing boats that lay like decayed carcasses along Kinmen s northern beaches. The entire engagement, now known as the Ku-Ning-Tou Campaign, lasted only 56 hours. Over 6,000 invaders were captured, sent to Taiwan for "re-education" and eventually joined the Taiwanese Army.

Feb 28 Incident As Reported Newsweek; Taiwan's History
But every day it saves face hundreds of Formosans die , they said. Newsweek, 7 April 1947 Copied from taiwan, Ilha Formosa
http://www.uta.edu/accounting/faculty/tsay/feb2802.htm

Extractions: Police on trucks roamed Taipei shooting into unarmed crowds. Troops knocked on doors of houses and shot the first person who appeared. They looted left and right. Thousands of Formosans were arrested and jailed. It was evidently a common practice to bind prisoners with thin wire. The dead bodies of bound men were found every morning on the streets, some beheaded or castrated. An eyewitness of the bloody Formosan rebellion which started February 28 gave Newsweek's Shanghai correspondent this shocking description of how Nationalist troops succeeded last week, by terroristic tactics, in restoring order throughout most of the island. The Chinese mainland troops, under the command of the Japanese-educated Formosan Governor, General Chen Yi, killed an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 of the natives who revolted against the political corruption and economic oppression of Chen's postwar regime (Newsweek, March 17). Even top Nationalist leaders, in effect condoned this revolt in their own territory. The Chinese Defense Minister, general Pai Chung-hsi, recommended various administrative reforms demanded by the rebels. The Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang (government party) voted in favor of Governor Chen's dismissal. Chen responded on March 24 by executing another 70 Formosans who reportedly established a "people's government" in the southwestern town of Chiayi.

which was published in 1965 as Formosa Betrayed , published by Houghton Mifflin, and republished in 1992 by the taiwan Publishing Co., Irvine CA.
http://www.uta.edu/accounting/faculty/tsay/Feb2801.htm

Extractions: A courageous American diplomat, Mr. George H. Kerr, who worked at the US Consulate in Taipei at the time of the massacre, observed many atrocities in person. He later on set out to write down his observations and research, which was published in 1965 as "Formosa Betrayed", published by Houghton Mifflin, and republished in 1992 by the Taiwan Publishing Co., Irvine CA. Copies can be ordered by faxing to (714) 863-3141. An online version has also been made available at http://www.formosa.org/betrayed. Yet still the Formosans hoped. American propaganda, promising freedom to all oppressed peoples, and citing the glorious Revolution of 1776, continued to pour in upon them. In February 1947 unarmed Formosans rose en masse to demand reforms in the administration at Taipei. Chiang Kai-shek's answer was a brutal massacre. Thousands died first among them were the leaders who had asked for American help. Washington turned a deaf ear, while the Chinese communists rejoiced.

http://www.aasianst.org/absts/1995abst/inter/inter15.htm

Extractions: Discussant: Michael Robinson, University of Southern California Simply stated, this panel of four papers attempts to examine the relationship between (re-)conceiving the nation and (re-)producing history in Korea and Taiwan at critical periods in the Twentieth Century. Participants assume that the nation's past is frequently constructed in response to the demands of the contentious present and concerned with imaging a new and different future. Furthermore, we are all concerned with the roles historians and the academic world in general play in this complex enterprise. Together, the panelists are concerned with several significant questions: How do we analyze the linkages between the practice of history and the social, political, and ideological movements that critique and produce the nation? In what ways do specific conceptions of the nation restrict and weaken histories intended to support its emergence and growth? Conversely, can nationalist histories creatively produce a new community and consciousness that re visions and incorporates a contentious and complex past? In what sense can one speak of the hegemonic influence of elite histories constructed for the nation's needs, and how will academic attempts at popularizing and practicalizing this production affect the outcome? If new nationalist histories speak to the present and the future, what are their debts to disparate historiographical legacies, both recognized and unspoken?

Extractions: Jia recalled the history of Taiwan, which fell under Japanese colonial rule after a war started by Japan in 1894 but recovered after China won the resistance war against Japanese aggression, and said "history told us the fate of Taiwan is closely related with that of whole China and the whole Chinese nation". "The most important message we get from this great victory 60 years ago is that we must vigorously carry forward the national ethos with patriotism at the core," said Jia. (Xinhuanet, China China)

http://www.cwcmf.org/Taiwan/html/chap3_history.html

Extractions: History Little is known about the history and social organization of Taiwan’s Aborigines prior to their earliest contact with outsiders. It is known that as early as the second century A.D., imperial China sent occasional raiding parties to the island in search of booty and slaves. However, from the seventh century on, the Chinese government consistently expressed the view that the big island across the strait was a savage place, "a mudball beyond the sea, not worthy of China." The Chinese people, unlike their governments, have never let cultural and racial ideology interfere with commerce, however. Also, other ocean-going peoples soon became interested in the island as a trading partner and because of its strategic location in sea lanes that remain important to this day. The Aborigines, on Taiwan began trading deer hides and meat, along with various forests products, for metal and other goods. By the 12th century, enterprising Chinese briefly established settlements in the Pescadores, and occasionally engaged in trade with Taiwan. Japanese traders also frequently visited the island, and in the 14th century they established a settlement near the present-day city of Taiwan. Attracted by near by Anping harbor, the Japanese called the island "tai Wan," or Big Bay. Colonial Rule European arrived on the scene by the 16th century. Portuguese sailors, struck by the towering, forested peaks and magnificent beaches that they saw as they sailed past Taiwan, called it "Ilha Formosa," the beautiful Island. Until recently, Formosa remained the most common English name, but Taiwan is now widely used.
