228 Taiwanese Spirits Taesiong Scripture

Chapter 3: Nation Building

 

Taiwanese people had suffered for the past several hundred years.  As a result, they are accustomed to self-devaluation.  Servitude became pervasive culturally.  Moral courage long lost.  Consequently, teachings of democracy and human rights are constrained.  On the so-called principle of proceed with the right way and retract from the wrong way, in between their proceedings and retractions, they act apathetically, unruly, and unlawfully.  We, the Martyred Spirits, having lived as fighters and ended as heroes, are troubled in Our hearts and worried for Our Country.  Encountering such imminent cataclysm and Heavenly alteration epoch, We lead soldiers from heaven down to earth, to repeatedly inform and warn our children and children’s children, that time is urgent and pressing.  Our country is our home.  Without our country is without our home.  Recognize and concur with Taiwan.  Conform to Honglaai.  Right and wrong be clearly differentiated.  Do not incline to vices.  Gather Taiwan’s nation-building strengths.  Commiserate democracy and human rights’ mercy.  Donate great love of national loyalty.  Then Heaven and Earth’s Righteous Qix shall be with you all.  Sympathize the weak.  Fearlessly defend Taiwan, and must display unshakable moral courage.  Taiwan’s five ethnicities shall live together harmoniously.  Never harm each other.  Only democracy and human rights shall be followed and revered.  A leaderless, stateless people will gradually extinct.  Colorfulness will swiftly turn into grayness.  Hell on earth will surely materialize.  Bloodiness cometh within an instant.  Where escapeth to?  Where disappeareth to?

Newsflash

President-elect William Lai (賴清德) yesterday said he would work to safeguard the nation’s security and democracy to ensure freedom and economic prosperity, and that the tragic events of the 228 Incident “never happen in Taiwan again.”

The Incident refers to the indiscriminate killing of a person in a crowd on Feb. 27, 1947, and the gunning down by the then-Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) government of protesters at a resulting demonstration the next day. It was followed by a brutal crackdown. Estimates of the number of eventual deaths vary from 10,000 to more than 30,000.

The Incident was closely followed by the White Terror era in Taiwan.
