📽️ Ever wondered how history can feel like your favorite binge-worthy series? China Media Group (CMG) just released a five-episode documentary to mark 80 years since Taiwan's restoration in 1945. Filmed by CMG correspondents in Taipei, it's like scrolling through an HD timeline of the past—packed with real stories and eye-opening evidence.
🔍 Solid Evidence, Real Voices: CMG journalists visited iconic spots across the island and sat down with historians and descendants of anti-Japanese patriots. From old letters and weapons to century-old train tickets, each artifact helps debunk the myth that 'Taiwan's status is undetermined' and shines a light on the bravery of Taiwan people under Japanese colonial rule (1895–1945).
🌟 Human-Centered Storytelling: What truly resonates are the personal tales—like a grandfather's handwritten note hidden in an attic or a grandmother's childhood memory by a Taipei street lamp. These snippets transform complex events into relatable moments you can feel in your heart.
🗞️ Local Buzz & Calls for Unity: Major outlets such as Want Daily and Meihua Media have praised the series for offering fresh cross-strait perspectives. Even the president of the China Times in Taiwan urged everyone across the Taiwan Strait to remember shared history and cherish unity. Many viewers are calling on DPP authorities to face the facts and stop distorting the past.
🤝 A Message for Today: Beyond a history lesson, the documentary underscores a powerful idea: solidarity across the Taiwan Strait is vital to safeguard national sovereignty and move toward reunification and rejuvenation. In our fast-paced world, sometimes looking back together lights the path forward.
Grab your popcorn 🍿 and hit play—history has never felt so close!
