Why It Matters
Zhang Junjie, Gao Jin Sumei's assistant, was involved in accepting Chinese funds to develop organizations in Taiwan and absconding. Gao Jin said this accusation was reminiscent of the oppression of political dissidents during the martial law era.
Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei's "big accountant" Zhang Junjie was involved in accepting Chinese funds to develop organizations in Taiwan. Gao Jin said it was reminiscent of the martial law era when "communist spies" were used to suppress political dissidents. In this regard, Huang Ziyijin, deputy director of the Information Department of the Democratic Progressive Party (11th) listed the suffering of the Atayal people under the martial law rule of the Kuomintang and questioned whether Gao Jin Sumei, as an Atayal legislator, used the history of blood and tears of the sufferings of her ancestors to protect her personal political interests. "Do you still have the face to face the ancestors of the Atayal people?"
"Gao Jin Sumei, what qualifications do you have to consume the word 'martial law'?" Huang Ziyi wrote on a social platform, saying that Gao Jin Sumei's assistant was involved in a communist espionage case and even cut off his electronic bracelet and fled. Facing judicial investigation, Gao Jin Sumei even shouted "reminiscent of the martial law era."
Huang Ziyi questioned, as an Atayal legislator, Gao Jin used "martial law" as a shield for political scandals, didn't he feel sorry for his Atayal ancestors? Do you really know how the elders of the Atayal ethnic group worked hard for their rights and interests under the Kuomintang’s martial law and high-pressure rule in the past, but in the end they were treated as nothing by the Kuomintang and their lives were taken away at will? Do you really understand what "martial law" was like in the past?
According to this, Huang Ziyi listed that Lexin Wadan (Lin Ruichang), in order to fulfill his father's last wish to return to the hometown of Dabao Society, signed the "Return of the Original Dabao Society" with more than a hundred tribesmen, striving to return to the ancestral land; in 1952 After his arrest, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison by the Taiwan Provincial Security Command the following year for "participating in a rebellious assembly" and corruption. The sentence was then sent to the Ministry of National Defense. Chief of Staff Zhou Chirou approved the addition of the crime of "commencing a rebellion" and changed the sentence to death.
Gao Zezhao is also an elite member of the Atayal ethnic group. Huang Ziyi introduced that one day in 1952, Gao Zezhao was walking to school with his 12-year-old daughter Gao Bailan when he was suddenly informed that he was going to "have a meeting." He never came back. He only knew that he was arrested by the Taiwan Provincial Security Command. It was not until more than 60 years later that he checked the political files and learned that he was implicated in cases such as Tang Shouren and Lin Ruichang. Huang Ziyi said that Gao Ze Zhao was originally sentenced to 12 years in prison. Later, Gui Yongqing, the Chief of Staff of the Presidential Office, recommended that the sentence be changed to death. Chiang Kai-shek personally gave instructions "as planned" and was shot at the Ankeng execution ground in 1954.
Huang Ziyi continued that during the Japanese period, Li Xiushan graduated from the Fantong Educational Institute and served as a teacher and inspector. He was a highly prestigious leader of the tribe. After the war, he fought for tribal rights such as medical care and administrative divisions. In 1948, he was elected as the township chief. After being transferred to the Beifeng District Bureau in 1950, he was involved in a rebellion case because he met the district chief Ye Minxin, who had a background in the Provincial Working Committee. Even though he was only taken to a meeting by the chief on the basis of his official position and did not participate in any armed actions, he was still sentenced to 12 years and sent to Green Island. Finally, he died in prison in 1961.
Huang Zi has always said that the real era of martial law was when the Atayal ancestors bravely spoke out for the land rights, medical survival and tribal dignity of the indigenous people, but they were treated as trivial by the Kuomintang authorities, who arbitrarily changed the death sentence, charged them with crimes, and died miserably in prison.
Huang Zi also criticized that today's Gao Jin Sumei enjoys the power and voice given by the democratic system. Faced with the scandal of her assistant being involved in a communist espionage case and even cutting off her bracelet and absconding, she frivolously uses "martial law" as a fig leaf to shirk personal political responsibility. "Using the history of blood and tears of the suffering of our ancestors to protect our personal political interests, do we still have the face to face the ancestors of the Atayal people?"
