Hey folks! ✨ CMG just dropped a fresh 6-part doc series to commemorate 80 years of Taiwan’s restoration, and it’s a time-traveling adventure you won’t want to miss. 🎥
From tracing the island of Taiwan’s roots back to the Yangtze River Basin to spotlighting shared traditions with the Chinese mainland, this series blends rigorous research with real-life stories and rare archival finds. 🌿📜
- Stories of resilience: Meet residents of Taiwan who refused to live under Japanese colonial rule, reclaimed their Chinese nationality, and relocated to the Chinese mainland.
- War-time solidarity: Read heartfelt letters and diaries from residents of Taiwan who volunteered during the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression—and learn about those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
- United voices: See how the Communist Party of China guided progressive Taiwan youth and fueled anti-Japanese movements on the island.
- Historic decisions: Get an inside look at the Cairo Declaration draft and how both the Kuomintang and the CPC opposed international trusteeship over Taiwan.
But it doesn’t stop at war stories. Post-restoration life kicked off cultural revivals—ancestor worship ceremonies, the return of Mandarin lessons, Japanese POW repatriations, street renaming around Sun Yat-sen’s Mausoleum in Nanjing—all captured through fresh archival footage. 🏮🍃
Filmed across the Chinese mainland and the Taiwan region, the doc series packs unseen letters, diaries, and artifacts into every episode—it’s like a history buff’s treasure hunt! 🗺️🔍
“History is the best textbook,” says Zhang Han, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. “We believe that after watching the film, compatriots on both sides of the strait—and Chinese people overseas—will remember these stories, oppose ‘Taiwan secession’ and foreign interference, and support the cause of national reunification.”
