Life in the world: 明治44年

icshih:

日本明治44年是西元哪一年?包括我在內,相信大部分的台灣人都不知道。但是在我阿公那一代,這個日本記年,卻是他們日曆上使用的紀元。這一年是西元1911年,台灣是日本國的一部分,因為16年前,清帝國在中日甲午戰爭中失敗,把包括台灣的一部分領土,割讓給了日本。而到了1911年,中國發生了辛亥革命,迫使清帝國的溥儀皇帝遜位,結束了中國長達2000多年的封建君主專政。

然而,這個事件與台灣無關。因為這時的台灣,是日本國的一部分。辛亥革命時的清帝國,早就沒有台灣的主權。辛亥革命後建立的新政府,無論是北洋政府,或是南方的軍政府,都沒有台灣的主權可以繼承。因為那是屬於日本國的。

About

Letters from Taiwan is an online diary of what engages and interests me about Taiwan as well as a record of my journeys and discoveries in the region. It is an extended letter of admiration and gratitude to this beautiful country that has so hospitably been my home for over a decade.

Originally from the UK, I arrived in 2000 as a teacher and now work full time as a professional in the field of medical devices.

This blog does take an active, passionate and often partisan interest in Taiwan's current affairs, with particular emphasis on its history, politics and economy. I believe that Taiwan is geographically and politically situated at an important juncture of global hegemonic struggle.

The very identity of the nation and the peoples living here, and the ongoing contest over the definition and meaning of those identities is a field study in contemporary nationalism and nation building. It is because this contest is far from resolved that I find the word 'contingent' the most suitable current descriptor.
