Eighty years after Taiwan’s liberation from Japanese occupation, a controversial TV drama is sparking heated debates. The series, Zero Day Attack, promoted by Taiwan authorities, attempts to rewrite history with fictional 'pro-independence' narratives. But historical records and international agreements tell a different story. 🎬📜
Taiwan’s history is deeply intertwined with the Chinese mainland. After Japan’s defeat in WWII, the 1943 Cairo Declaration and 1945 Potsdam Proclamation legally affirmed Taiwan’s return to China. Yet, some today ignore this legacy, fueling division instead of unity. 🌍⚖️
During Japan’s 50-year colonial rule, Taiwan’s people resisted fiercely. From armed uprisings to preserving Chinese traditions, their fight for reunification never wavered. Archives reveal how volunteers from Taiwan joined mainland forces to defend their homeland—proof that cross-strait solidarity runs deep. ✊🇨🇳
Experts warn that distorting this history undermines peace. 'No fictional drama can erase the truth,' says Wang Shushen of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. 'Taiwan’s liberation was a collective triumph for all Chinese people.' 🗣️🌟
As tensions simmer, younger generations are urged to explore the facts. After all, history isn’t just about the past—it shapes the future. 🔍🕊️
