By Han Cheung / Staff reporterJan. 21 to Jan. 27Although he died peacefully last Tuesday, the press referred to him as the “eternal warrior” in their obituaries. Anything related to the 228 Incident was taboo for the next four decades, but fortunately, Huang lived long enough to see this piece of history come to light. A monument to the battle was erected in Nantou in 2004 and another in Taichung in 2017 honoring the 27th Brigade. Half a century later, he would still mention this exploit while criticizing the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) army for killing civilians during the 228 Incident. While the Japanese soldiers were sent home by the end of 1945, the Taiwanese remained in the camps for another year.
