TAINAN, Taiwan A ceremony was held on Saturday, May 8, to mark the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Wushantou Dam, which was designed and built by Japanese civil engineer Yoichi Hatta before World War II.
In attendance at the ceremony and related events at Hatta Yoichi Memorial Park in Tainan were Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and two other top officials, Vice President Chen Chien-jen and Su Tseng-chang, who holds a position equivalent to premier.
It is quite unusual for all three of Taiwan’s top political leaders to attend the commemoration of a historical event relating to a person from abroad.
