After We Lost Him

228事件，是一場發生在1947年，因政府查緝私菸所引起的全台大動亂。事件發生後，許多菁英份子無故被政府帶走，自此失蹤，更有甚者，是未經審判便直接槍決…。一連串無差別掃蕩與階級清洗，也埋下了日後台灣族群問題的伏筆。
七十年過去了，島上的人們，無論是悲傷還是驚恐，疑惑或是憤怒，更多時候，面對無法獲得的真相，人們似乎只能無奈地選擇遺忘…。我們將以張七郎、李瑞漢與蕭錦文的故事作基底，透過遺族與後人們的詮釋，讓大家對於228有更多的對話與理解，進一步為228受難者，開啟轉型正義的大門。
The 228 Incident was a 1947 nation-wide uprising in Taiwan sparked by a government crackdown on contraband cigarettes. Following the incident, many elites were taken away by the government without apparent reason before vanishing, while others were executed without trial. This string of undifferentiated violence and class cleansing was also a foreshadowing of Taiwan’s future ethnic conflict issues.
Now that 70 years have passed, the people of Taiwan – whether sad or frightened, suspicious or angry – seem to have reluctantly chosen to forget the incident in the face of their inability to uncover the truth. This stories of Chang Chi-lang, Li Jui-han and Hsiao Chin-wen form the foundations of this episode, which aims to promote more discussion and understanding of the 228 Incident through the narratives of their bereaved and descendants, further paving the way for the transition to justice for the victims.
