International Bookstore (Old Location) Introduction
Xie Xuehong studied at Shanghai University before going to Moscow for further studies. Following the directives of the Communist International, she returned to Taiwan to develop organizational structures and, to cover her identity, decided to run a bookstore while introducing communist ideology. In 1929, the International Bookstore was established, primarily selling leftist literature and serving as a secret contact point for the left-wing Taiwanese Communist Party. During the 228 Incident, the International Bookstore played an important role as a communication channel for the Taiwanese Communist Party and had direct or indirect connections with the 27th Brigade and related revolutionary organizations.
