Revisiting the History of the Second Sino-Japanese War: The Distance between War and Us
The eight-year Second Sino-Japanese War (in Chinese, also called the War of Resistance against Japan) was an important turning point in modern history, which not only changed the fate of China and Japan but also reorganized the world political map. In this lecture, Professor Tai-Chun Kuo of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University will reveal the unknown details of the eight-year war based on the latest findings of a multi-national research team. Through in-depth analysis of the history, Professor Kuo hopes that all governments and people who participated in this war can learn from the painful history, avoid repeating the same mistakes, and also prevent the tragedy of Ukraine from happening in Taiwan. All who care about modern history and cross-strait relations are welcome to participate in this lecture.

與會來賓
Currently a researcher at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and a mentor at the China Europe International Business School. She has served as a lecturer at the Department of East Asian Studies, Stanford University, a visiting professor at Peking University, Fudan University, and Zhejiang University, a news secretary, English translator, and deputy director of the First Bureau of the Presidential Office of the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the director of the Boston Office of the News Bureau of the Executive Yuan. Since 2004, Guo has promoted the “Modern China Archives and Special Collections Research Project” of the Hoover Institution, which preserves and studies the archives of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo’s diaries, Song Ziwen’s archives, Kong Xiangxi’s archives, and the private archives of many important Chinese and foreign leaders. The opening of these new archives has not only prompted China and the West to re-examine the major historical events and leaders of 20th century China, but also to further reassess and rewrite the history that everyone is familiar with, and has also led to a new wave of modern China studies.
