[edit]

The suggestion of being "forcefully" conscripted is POV. According to the Japanese they were Takasago "volunteers", and to some extent they were, though the degree of pressure could be debated. Leo T.S. Ching writes about the burden of coloniality as the driving force behind the volunteers willingness and even "eagerness" to join. The prospect of dying for the Emperor fit within the earlier Atayal paradigm of maledom and achieving valor on the battlefield. Many "volunteers" found it an honor to have their spirits interred in the shrine. Later Chinese nationalist narratives referred to this as Japanese "brainwashing".

maybe "forcefully" is not the right word, but they weren't "volunteers" like the french SS Charlemagne. And what does dying for the emperor have to do with their aborgine martial spirit? How do they fit together? Of course they were "brainwashed" into fighting a war they had nothing to do with. More can be read here. Blueshirts 03:38, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By that standard everyone who fights and dies for their country was "brainwashed" by nationalism. See imagined communities.Maowang 04:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

you gotta be kidding me. Japan was not the aborigines' country, neither is the Republic of China. World War II was not their war. Are you confused? Blueshirts 08:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Find press release

[edit]

Can somebody find the original source for the press release by Mei Chin (Kao Chin Su-mei) at this link? Scroll down. It contains a "statement by Yang Yuanhuang" who is an Atayal tribe member whose family was involved in the Wushe Incident, and by Bunun Wu Musong and then a statement by May Chin herself.

I've searched online and I can't find it, perhaps its originally not in English but I highly doubt that due to the fact that it still retains the internal links to other websites as if it was copy pasted and the formatting included int he copy paste. And its also in perfect grammatical English which would not be the case if it were some random person translating it on the internet.
