Fighter on the Ox's Back - Chien Chi (簡吉) Memorial Exhibition

In the 1920s, a group of young people aspired to protect Taiwan's rural villages and aid the livelihoods of impoverished tenant farmers. Among them was the revolutionary with a violin—Chien Chi (簡吉) (1903-1951), deeply respected by farmers and admired by intellectuals. However, his actions also aroused the apprehension of the authorities, leading him to bear a stigma.
One hundred years ago, in 1925, Chien Chi assisted farmers in Kaohsiung to establish the 'Fengshan Farmers' Union.' Its predecessor, the 'Fengshan Tenant Farmers' Union,' was the earliest farmers' movement organization on the island. Driven by a simple sense of justice and an indomitable will, Chien Chi and a generation of determined youth traveled through rural villages across Taiwan, stirring wave after wave of social movement waves in the fields, railways, and sugar factories.
