| 摘要(外文): | The demise of Dr. Sun Yat-sen was, without a doubt, deeply saddening news to the Chinese people and the Taiwanese people alike. The light in which Taiwanese people governed by the Japanese perceive the death of Dr. Sun, the way in which they expressed their condolences towards Dr. Sun, and whether the essence of Dr. Sun's ideology was passed down in Taiwan were among the issues that the researcher intends to discuss herein. Equally reporting on Dr. Sun's death, in contrast to the unemotional and neutral perspectives of the official Taiwan Daily Newspaper, Taiwan People News appeared to be grief-stricken throughout. Restrained by the interference of the Japanese oppressors, the Taiwanese people were not able to mourn Dr. Sun in the name of "Father of the Republic", but had to refer to him as "Father of the Weak and Small Peoples" instead. The reason why Dr. Sun was perceived as the father of the weak and the small peoples is that the belief and tenacity based on which he devoted himself entirely has always fascinated the Taiwanese people. Furthermore, the "Pan-Asianism" he promoted before his death provides mental hopes of national liberation to the Taiwanese people. Thereafter, figures such as Chiang Wei-shui followed Dr. Sun's teachings and formed political parties in pursuit of the national liberation of the Taiwanese people. This is considered to be the most substantial support to Dr. Sun's last wishes. |
