International Bookstore (Old Site) Introduction
Xie Xuehong studied at Shanghai University before going to Moscow for further studies. Following the directives of the Comintern, she returned to Taiwan to develop organizations and decided to run a bookstore as a cover while introducing communist ideologies. In 1929, the International Bookstore was established, primarily selling leftist literature and serving as a secret communication point for leftist Taiwanese communists. During the February 28 Incident, the International Bookstore played an important role as a communication channel for Taiwanese communists, having direct or indirect relationships with the 27th Battalion and related revolutionary groups.
