Yes, thank you for passing along the info and your thoughts. It is amazing that people had to live (or die) through this. We have so many freedoms!

Hi Sarah! Just wanted to chirp in and say hello (I've visited a few times admiring your photography, but haven't said hello yet.)

The whole 228 incident was so shocking, not just because of the unimaginable tragedy but also the silence. I was born in Taiwan and spent my first 8 years there, but I've never heard of 228 until ten years ago, and I was even more shocked that my parents, my extended family all knew people who were kidnapped and killed. It affected everyone but nobody talked about it.

Your post brought back some memories: as a child I do remember my parents being very cautious and fearful of the gov't. I also remember being in first grade, and was required to speak only Mandarin, and those students who "slipped" in Taiwanese were punished.

Thanks for speaking about this.
