Amy B Wang – For decades, no one spoke of Taiwan’s hidden massacre. A new generation is breaking the silence.

Summary:
There's a Chinese government atrocity -- a massacre of tens of thousands -- that has long been hushed up.  But the victims weren't Uyghurs; they were native Taiwanese-- mostly the educated elite--massacred by US ally Chiang's Kuomintang in 1947. Lin's family's story was not unique. As many as 28,000 Taiwanese civilians were believed to be killed after an attempted uprising in 1947, a systematic massacre significant not only for its scale but also for the silence that enshrouded the subject for decades afterward. Because of a 38-year period of martial law that followed the killings, it was verboten to even mention such deaths publicly. To this day, it remains a painful and controversial subject among Taiwan's older generation.Washington PostFor decades, no one spoke of Taiwan’s hidden
