A week ago (November 15), I went to see the movie '1895' with 8 other NCHU students. This is one of the successful Taiwanese movies based on heroic Haaka's stories in 1895. The year 1895 was a memorable year for Taiwanese; the year when the Chinese and the Japanese made agreement to allow Japan to colonize Taiwan without the consent of Taiwanese. This is also the year when the first republic in Asia, The Democratic Republic of Taiwan, was declared. Unfortunately, the Republic scrambled at the end, and most of the Republic officers including the President, Tang Jin-Sun 唐景崧, and the General, Liu Ming-Tsang 刘銘傳, who had China connections, deserted Taiwan and fled to China. This left Taiwanese no other choices but to defend their country by themselves. This is a story about Haaka's men who fought for their country; this is also a story about Haaka's women who loved their men. A really touching movie !!
