What is 2.28 in Taiwan Province Province?

Refers to1February 28th, 947, also known as "February 28th Uprising".

On February 27th, 1947, armed anti-smuggling officers of the Kuomintang Monopoly Bureau of Taiwan Province Province beat a woman selling cigarettes on Yanping North Road in Taipei, and people were angry. Anti-smuggling personnel shot and killed another victim, sparking a wave of protests from Taipei people. Citizens flocked to the city police station, demanding that the murderer be severely punished.

On February 28th, the whole city of Taipei went on strike, strike, strike. People marched in the streets, smashed the Taipei company of the Kuomintang Monopoly Bureau, burned the freight yard, petitioned the Kuomintang Chief Executive's Office in Taiwan Province Province, demanding punishment, compensation, cancellation of the Monopoly Bureau and so on. Three more people were shot and three others were injured.

The angry crowd immediately stormed the police station, seized guns and occupied the radio station, calling on the people of the whole province to support the just struggle of the people of Taipei and overthrow Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship.

Then, from Keelung in the north to Kaohsiung in the south of Taiwan Province Province, people all over the country, including Gaoshan compatriots, responded one after another, seizing weapons from the enemy, occupying the Kuomintang police station, attacking the armory, and attacking the airport and barracks. The uprising people held a citizens' meeting, set up a people's government and formed a people's army. Within a few days, the Kuomintang regime in Taiwan Province Province almost completely collapsed.

Taiwan Province provincial authorities are in a state of panic. On March 8, under the escort of American warships and planes, two US-equipped troops were transported from the mainland to Taiwan Province Province, landed in Keelung, and immediately massacred the uprising people. According to statistics, more than 30,000 uprising people were killed. The uprising failed.

The "February 28th" uprising dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang and strongly supported the liberation war of the mainland people.
