Kaohsiung, Feb. 28 (CNA) Government officials, led by President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), on Sunday attended an event commemorating the 74th anniversary of the 228 Incident, a civil uprising that led to a bloody government crackdown.
During the ceremony held in Kaohsiung, Tsai said the event represented the government s repentance over past mistakes and served as a reminder that people should cherish their hard-earned freedoms.
President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday urged people to cherish the nation’s hard-won democracy and freedom, and said that awareness of human rights must be internalized into the DNA of the government.
She made the remarks at a Peace Memorial Day event at the Kaohsiung Museum of History to commemorate the 74th anniversary of the 228 Incident.
The 228 Incident refers to a protest in 1947 against the then-Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) regime and the resulting crackdown that left thousands dead and led to nearly four decades of martial law. Anti-government protests had spread to Kaohsiung by March 3, 1947.
