International Bookstore (Former Site) Introduction
Xie Xuehong studied at Shanghai University and then went to Moscow for further studies. Following the instructions of the Comintern, she returned to Taiwan to develop an organization. To cover her activities, she decided to run a bookstore while introducing communist ideas. In 1929, the International Bookstore was founded, primarily selling publications with leftist ideologies. It also served as a secret contact point for the leftist Taiwan Communist Party. During the February 28 Incident, the International Bookstore played a significant role as a communication channel for the Taiwan Communist Party, directly or indirectly connecting with the 27th Battalion and related revolutionary groups.
