This article introduces the history of the Kiōng-Seng Music Commemoration, a commemorative event for the 2-28 Massacre largely organized by young people. It examines who takes part, what they demand and how they understand themselves. Since its establishment in 2013, the Kiōng-Seng Music Commemoration has become the largest commemorative event of the 2-28 Massacre with thousands of participants every year. The article begins by looking at how Kiōng-Seng started and what its position is from the point of view of transitional justice. Kiōng-Seng attracts young people, most of whom are from the post-authoritarian generation with no direct experience of authoritarian rule, still less of the 2-28 Massacre. Secondly the article examines why people join Kiōng-Seng and what they want to say to the public. Finally, the author attempts to explain the significance and impact of Kiōng-Seng over its 11 years of existence through time. |
