Elnorra

What a cutie! Elnorra at the Martyrs Shrine on 228 day.
We felt this also an important day to visit the victims of violence who fought for Taiwan against the communists, the last imperial government, the Japanese (who incidentally made up almost half of the crowd paying their respects.) And other enemies of Taiwan. This is the major military memorial on the island and a beautiful and peaceful place. It is notable that there were so many Japanese and Taiwanese in the crowd honoring the mostly Chinese dead. The struggle made by these men was a loosing battle yet it is only because of their continued sacrifice that Taiwan enjoys freedom. Were it not for them this island would surly be under the dark shadow of communism that the mainland suffers under.
