HistoryMessages from the Past: History of Taiwan in Letters from the 17th to 20th Centuries
by Lung-chih Chang, Yi-fan Lin, Wen-cheng Shih, Yin-yi cheng, Feng-nan Su, Sheng-chuan Chuang, Po-zong Chen, Sian-wei Zeng, Jen-tzu Huang
Letters used to be an important medium for communication in the past, transferring information, recording events while also carrying feelings and thoughts of individuals. To understand the history of a period, letters provide appropriate source materials. In this book, eight letters are selected to reconstruct the history of Taiwan, including official letters of the governor-general of the Dutch East India Company, postcards from a Taiwanese Imperial Japan serviceman, and family letters from the son of Chi Hua Ko─a victim of the White Terror era. The book covers a time spanning from Dutch rule in the seventeenth century to post-war Taiwan in the mid twentieth century. Every letter reflects its historical background and tells an intriguing story. Interpretation of history is often affected by external factors like politics and is frequently manipulated or twisted. Still, history serves as an important basis for self-identity. With letters as sources, this book intends to take a serious and deep look at historical materials and view the history of Taiwan in a new light.
