This series of photographic biographies covers outstanding Taiwanese during 1895-1945, when Taiwan was a Japanese colony. They were famous at their time, yet few Taiwanese now know them, due to the intentional eradication of Taiwanese history and culture by the dictatorial government during 1945-1987. Now that it is no longer life-risking (the risk was real before 1987) to learn about the past of Taiwan, let us start with these outstanding folks.
