Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 應用社會學系社會學碩士班 === 105 === When Korean War broke out in 1950, the Communist Party of China raised “Chinese People's Volunteers” and joined the war. During the wartime, near 21,000 volunteers became captives and 14,000 of them refused to go back to China after the end of war, instead of going homes, they choose to go to Taiwan. For celebrating that, the government of R.O.C set the day that the captives arrived to Taiwan as public holiday─123 Day of Freedom. The volunteers are called as “Anti-communism Heroes”. This article tries to make an approach to why the volunteers decided to go to Taiwan. For that, this article will review the episode and time-and-space back ground through the interviews for 4 of the captives. They are forced to choose one position─ R.O.C side or P.R.C side. They experienced the time of Chinese Civil War and Korean War and became captives who were sent to Taiwan. The old soldiers who have special experiences had suffered from political pressure and financial difficulties in Taiwan and this article tries to review their stories by their aspects which are different to official history.
