Another successful Taiwanese movie, 1895, is showing at major cinema in Taiwan. The movie, 1895, shows how Taiwanese, betrayed by the Ching-Dynasty, fought to defend their lands against the superior Japanese imperial army.
The situation in Taiwan today bears similarity to those days in 1895. The day, November 3, 2008 when a Chinese (PRC) representative visited Taiwan. During the visit, Taiwan authority forbids citizens to display any ROC national flags (blue sky, while sun, and red ground), while it is completely legal to display PRC flags ( 5-yellow stars with red background.). Taiwanese is wondering which country Ma's government is serving? Would Taiwanese be betrayed by Ma's government? Would 2008 be another 1895?
The lower photo shows Professor Tsai Ting-Kwei stages hunger strike to protest Ma's government. The upper photo shows part of the 600,000 Taiwanese march on October 25 warning Ma not to sell out Taiwan.
