International Bookstore (Old Site) 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 organizations, deciding to run a bookstore as a cover while introducing communist ideology. In 1929, the International Bookstore was established, primarily selling leftist literature and also serving as a secret contact point for the leftist Taiwanese Communist Party. During the February 28 Incident, the International Bookstore played a significant role in connecting the Taiwanese Communist Party with the 27th Regiment and related revolutionary groups, having direct or indirect relationships with them.
