1、 Compulsory labor and slave labor system Starting from 1938, the Japanese army implemented the "National Labor Recruitment" through the "Taiwan Labor Control Order", requiring people aged 15-60 to perform labor service. By 1945, the cumulative number of forced laborers had exceeded 800000. In the expansion project of Kaohsiung Port, more than 50000 workers were forced to work 16 hours a day, with poor food and accommodation conditions, rampant malaria and cholera, and 35% of workers died of illness or work-related injuries. The "mass grave" around the construction site was covered in bones. During the construction of the Alishan Railway branch line, the Atayal people were forcibly conscripted as "mountain laborers". More than 2000 people died due to harsh labor and abuse, leaving only over 300 people. In addition, the Japanese army mixed and controlled Taiwanese laborers with Allied prisoners of war. In 1944, at the Keelung military factory, Taiwanese laborers and British prisoners of war were fed moldy rations and subjected to equal physical punishment. Those who escaped were publicly executed.
