International Bookstore (Old Site) Introduction
Hsieh Hsueh-hung studied at Shanghai University before going to Moscow for further studies. Following the directives of the Communist International, she returned to Taiwan to develop organizations and decided to run a bookstore as a cover while introducing communist ideas. The International Bookstore was established in 1929, primarily selling leftist literature and also serving as a secret contact point for the Taiwanese Communist Party (Taiwanese Communist Party). During the February 28 Incident, the International Bookstore played an important role as a communication channel for the Taiwanese Communist Party, having direct or indirect connections with the Second Army and various revolutionary groups.
