How do young people in Taiwan Province Province view Japanese colonial history?

Taiwan Province Province is greatly influenced by Japan, and many people learn Japanese. There are many brands, such as Kobayashi pancakes in Morita, all with Japanese names. During the Red and White Song Festival in Japan, I also connected to Taipei on the spot, feeling that all Taiwan Province provinces like Japan very much.

If modernization brought by colonization is not a bad thing (though it was not the intention of the invaders at all), then why can South Korea, which was also colonized by Japan, explicitly ask Japan to apologize for what it did during World War II, but rarely hear the voices of Taiwan Province people?

The humiliation of being colonized by Taiwan Province Province, like the humiliation of being looted by Eight-Nation Alliance, has rarely been witnessed by the living, and has gradually become an ink mark in the history books.

Give a few inappropriate examples, but you can experience this feeling a little.

How do Qingdao people feel about the history of German occupation today?

Tsingtao beer left by the colonists, many German-style architectural churches and magical "sewers" have all become proud business cards today.

Harbin, once occupied by Russia, now calls itself "Moscow of the East", and takes the Russian-style Central Street and Sophia Cathedral as city landmarks.

Tianjin, Dalian and Xiamen all show their former colonial buildings as treasures, not to mention the Bund in various China propaganda films.

============================================

Let's talk about Taiwan Province Province. The Japanese occupation of Taiwan Province Province began at 1895. In the early days, the Japanese occupation army met with fierce resistance from Japanese soldiers and civilians. After the Japanese destroyed the "Taiwan Democratic State" and occupied the whole island of Taiwan Province Province, it was still resisted by the people of Taiwan Province for 20 years.

This history is naturally a history of aggression for local residents in Taiwan Province Province, but it has been too long. Especially with the collapse of 19 1 1 Qing government, many people in Taiwan Province province thought that the dynasty they had been loyal to had disappeared, and then the resistance of the Han people to the occupiers gradually disappeared.

From the September 18th Incident of 193 1 to the outbreak of the full-scale war of aggression against China in 37 years, it was a humiliating history of Chinese mainland being invaded by the Japanese army. At this time, Taiwan Province Province has been occupied by Japanese for more than 40 years. With the beginning of the war, it also marked that Japanese Taiwan Province policy entered the "imperial stage".

At this stage, the Japanese took Taiwan Province Province as an extension of their own territory and invested huge sums of money. Urban renewal, street widening, hospitals, schools, tap water and other infrastructure tend to be perfect. The Japanese built water conservancy facilities and heavy factories in the south of Taiwan Province Province, and built railways and highways running through the island. At the same time, a large number of Japanese immigrants poured into Taiwan Province Province, and residents of Taiwan Province Province were required to name Japan, speak Japanese, live in Japanese-style houses and wear kimonos. The education systems in Taiwan Province Province and Taiwan Province were promulgated. Theoretically, Japanese and Japanese have the same entrance qualification. In practice, people in Taiwan Province Province are still discriminated against, but with the popularization of the imperial examination, this situation has gradually improved.

It can be said that Taiwan Province Province has not experienced the Japanese invasion of China. On the contrary, during this period, Japan intensified its efforts to build Taiwan Province Province, and the ties between Taiwan Province Province and Japan deepened day by day. It was not until the Pacific War broke out that Taiwan Province Island was involved in the war.
