Five days later on March 23, 1947, the troops executed 11 more people at the same spot. He managed to get away as his dorm was ransacked; meanwhile a different group stormed the police station and made off with all the firearms. By the end of the day, the civilians had control of the city’s transportation, communications and radio station. He was a Taiwanese who fought for the KMT in China against the Japanese, and was chosen because of his experience with both sides.
