Yanping College: The Taiwanese University Shut Down After the 228 Incident
A special exhibition at Taipei’s National 228 Museum is shedding light on the forgotten history of Yanping College, a short-lived university founded in 1946. The school opened after World War II with classes taught in Taiwanese Taigi and Japanese, reflecting the languages familiar to many local students at the time. But Yanping College lasted only one semester before being shut down following the 228 Incident and the Kuomintang government crackdown on Taiwanese elites.
