Pegasus Tea House Introduction
The famous café established by Zheng Tianma, who was a well-known film narrator during the Japanese colonial period. On February 27, 1947, the Monopoly Bureau's enforcement officers conducted a crackdown around Tianma Tea House, where tobacco vendor Lin Jiangmai was arrested, and money and cigarettes were confiscated. Lin pleaded with the crowd, and during the dispute, enforcement officer Ye Degeng injured Lin. The crowd was enraged, and enforcement officer Fu Xuetong fired a warning shot, accidentally killing a bystander, Chen Wenxi, which escalated the situation further. The next day, the public gathered at the Taipei Bridge and marched to the Monopoly Bureau to petition, which eventually led to the 228 Incident.
