International Bookstore (Old Location) Introduction

Xie Xuehong studied at Shanghai University and later went to Moscow for further studies. Following the directives of the Communist International, she returned to Taiwan to develop organizations and decided to operate a bookstore to cover her activities while introducing communist thought. In 1929, the International Bookstore was established, primarily selling leftist ideological publications and serving as a secret contact point for the Taiwan Communist Party (TCP). During the February 28 Incident, the International Bookstore played a significant role as a communication channel for the TCP, having direct or indirect connections with the 27th Army and related revolutionary groups.
