This is sixtieth anniversary of Taiwan's recovery from Japanese colonial rule. The island has kicked off celebrations with a month-long photo exhibition. The show opened at the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum in Taipei.

It shows how people in Taiwan resisted the Japanese invasion, fought for survival, and won the final victory. Many veterans of the war have visited the exhibition. Eighty-five-year-old Hsu Li-nung, the head of Taiwan's New Nation Alliance, was among them. He praised the bravery of the ill-equipped Chinese troops during the war, and expressed hope that people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits can carry forward the brave spirit, and accelerate the country's peaceful reconciliation.
