How to tell the story of the February 28 Incident (or “Massacre” depending on who is telling the story) has been a struggle.
If you are in Taipei and environs, I would encourage you—or any interested persons—to visit the two museums dedicated to this history: the Taipei City 288 Memorial Museum located steps from NTU Hospital Station on the Red Line (this was the first museum established, and it has undergone savage changes during subsequent KMT mayorships, which made many survivors and the original museum curator furious); and the National 228 Museum on Nanhai Road, perhaps most easily accessed via Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station on the Red Line or Green Line.
To get a sense of how this history has been engaged in the period immediately after the lifting of martial law, you could also attend a screening of the newly digitized classic film A City of Sadness, which has been mentioned in this thread:
If you visit these sites or watch this film, let us know what you think.
