Taiwan, having experienced colonial and authoritarian rule, is an island of amnesia where personal memories have been forgotten. The Hakka cultural renaissance relies on reviving language and culture and rediscovering collective memory within Hakka communities. We rewrite precious Hakka stories that were never preserved, from the perspectives of individuals, families, and villages. This effort reflects on historical events such as the Taiwan heitei sakusen, the Pacific War, the February 28 Incident, the White Terror, the August 23rd Artillery Battle, and the broader cultural context.
