The Most Respected Japanese in Taiwan

After Chiang Kai-shek's government came to Taiwan, almost all Japanese buildings were destroyed or converted into political propaganda centers.
There are few beautiful Japanese-style buildings left, but the current Presidential Office and the former police station in Tainan are still well-preserved.
Many Japanese shrines have only two pillars left.
It was natural that the statue of Mr. Hatta was destroyed after the Chiang Kai-shek government came to Taiwan.
A few years ago, a bronze statue of Mr. Hatta was unearthed.
It is said that an old farmer secretly hid it in his home, which would have been killed in those days.
When President Lai Ching-te was the mayor of Tainan, he would pay homage to the statue of Mr. Hatta every year.
Yoichi Hatta is still regarded as "the most respected Japanese in Taiwan" to this day.
To express their gratitude to Mr. Hatta, the Taiwanese built a statue of Mr. Hatta in the second year after the completion of the reservoir.
Every year, on May 8th, the anniversary of Hatta's death, a memorial service is held before his tomb.
Many Taiwanese people came to pay their respects to Mr. Hatta.


在蔣介石政府來台灣之後, 幾乎所有的日本建築都被摧毀, 或改成政治宣傳中心。
美麗的日式建築所剩無幾, 但現在的總統府和台南當時的警察局仍保存良好。
許多日本神社都只剩下兩根柱子。
在蒋介石政府來台之後, 八田先生的雕像被毀是預料之中的事。
前幾年, 八田先生的銅像出土了。
聽說是一位老農民私自把它藏在家裡, 這在當時可是要槍殺的。
賴清德總統在當台南市長時, 每年都會到八田先生的雕像前參拜。
八田与一至今仍被称为“台湾最受尊敬的日本人”。
台湾人民为了表达对八田的感谢之情,在水库完工的第二年建立了八田的铜像。
每年,八田的忌日5月8日都会举行墓前祭,有许多台湾人前来参拜。

The Most Respected Japanese in Taiwan

After Chiang Kai-shek's government came to Taiwan, almost all Japanese buildings were destroyed or converted into political propaganda centers.

There are few beautiful Japanese-style buildings left, but the current Presidential Office and the former police station in Tainan are still well-preserved.

Many Japanese shrines have onlyonly have two pillars left.

Whilst this is technically correct, it is more common to say this

It was natural that the statue of Mr.

Hatta was destroyed after the Chiang Kai-sShek’s government came to Taiwan.

Possessive apostrophie as, the government belongs to Kai-Shek’s

Also if shek is part of his name it should be capitalised because the joining hyphen still means it is a new but if name that need capitalisation

A few years ago, a bronze statue of Mr.

Hatta was unearthed.

It is said that an old farmer secretly hid it in his home, which would have been killdestroyed in those days.

Killed is a verb used by organic living things, to describe a non living thing it is better to talk about its destruction

When President Lai Ching-te was the mayor of Tainan, he would pay homage to the statue of Mr.

Hatta every year.

Yoichi Hatta is still regarded as "the most respected Japanese in Taiwan" to this day.

Every year, on May 8th, the anniversary of Hatta's death, a memorial service is held before his tomb.

If this practise is still going then correct else ‘is’ should he changed for ‘was’

Many Taiwanese people came to pay their respects to Mr.

If it is still happening then ‘came’ to ‘come’ and came is past tense implying it did happen but no longer does, else it is correct

Hatta.
