The Origin of Peace Memorial Day
和平紀念日的由來
It is believed that the background of Peace Memorial Day dates back
to 27 February 1947 when a woman who was peddling black market
cigarettes was caught, the woman shouted and yelled to the police officers
to show her protest, but then an agent shot her.
和平紀念日的背景 追溯到1947年2月27日，
一個女人 兜售黑市香煙 被抓住了，
一個聚集人群中，這位女人抗議，大聲向警務人員喊叫
On the next day, people gathered outside the police station to express
their opposition of the incident. Feeling pressured by the act,
the officers fired upon the mass. The situation became worse
when groups of soldiers arrived from mainland China and started firing people at random.
Although there is no evidence, many people believe that about 10,000 until 30,000 people
were died at that time.
第二天，人們聚集外派出所的事件來表達他們的反對。
官員感到壓力，對人群射擊
來自中國大陸的士兵抵達時 情況變得更糟
雖然沒有證據，許多人認為，當時約10,000至30,000人死亡。
The date of 228 Incident was then acknowledged as a public holiday
while monuments were built and Taipei New Park was renamed with 228
Memorial Park as a commemoration of the incident.
現在 承認228事件日為公眾假期，
建紀念碑 並更名為“台北新公園228和平紀念公園"
作為紀念這個事件。
