Taiwan Shin Sheng Daily News Old Site Introduction
Originally the Taiwan Nichi Nichi Shimbun, it was formed by the merger of two Japanese newspapers, Taiwan Shinpo and Taiwan Nichi Nichi. It was the largest and longest-published newspaper at the time. On October 26, 1945, Li Wanju represented the Governor-General's Office to take over Taiwan Shinpo, renaming it Taiwan Shinsheng Daily, which was the only official newspaper at that time. During the February 28 Incident in 1947, the newspaper's general manager, Ruan Chaori, and the editor-in-chief of the Japanese version, Wu Jinlian, were forcibly taken away by agents of the Governor of Taiwan Province, and their fates remain unknown to this day.
