Subhas Chandra Bose was meant to be in Taiwan for no more than two hours.

After refueling at today’s Songshan Airport in Taipei on Aug. 18, 1945, his plane took off for Japan — and crashed almost immediately.

Many refused to believe he had died, and questions surrounding the incident remain to this day.

The sounds of clashing swords and judo grappling once echoed around Tainan Prison, where staff honed their skills in a Japanese martial arts hall.

Built in 1932, the Yodokan (要道館) opened to the public last Saturday following major restorations. It is one of only four surviving prison-affiliated dojos in Taiwan.

To mark Indigenous Peoples’ Day, here’s an old piece detailing the 10-year struggle by Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples to shed the detested “mountain compatriot” (山地同胞) label, a wish that was finally granted on Aug. 1, 1994.

Note that the Taipei Times style at the time still referred to them as “Aboriginal”; this terminology has since been updated.

Arriving in Taiwan in July 1986, Ma Hsiao-pin (馬曉濱) was praised for his courage in escaping the "brutal rule" of the Chinese Communist Party.

Four years later, Ma and two accomplices were sentenced to death for kidnapping the son of Evergreen Marine Corp. founder Chang Jung-fa (張榮發), igniting one of Taiwan's earliest public debates over capital punishment.
