Chiang Wei-shui Memorial Park

A hilltop plaza at the top of the Liuzhangli (六張犁) public cemeteries in Xinyi, Taipei, where Chiang Wei-shui (蔣渭水, 1890–1931) lay buried for six decades. A physician from Yilan, he co-founded the Taiwanese Cultural Association (臺灣文化協會) and the original Taiwanese People’s Party (臺灣民眾黨) and was jailed repeatedly as the foremost advocate of Taiwanese self-determination under Japanese rule. First interred at Dazhi (大直) in 1931 and displaced in 1942 when the hill was fortified, he was reburied here in 1952 by public subscription beneath a stele inscribed by premier Chen Cheng (陳誠) as the tomb of a revolutionary martyr, his last testament cut below. The grave was registered as a historic building in 2012 and his remains moved to a memorial in Yilan in 2015, leaving the stele alone on a cleared slope above the Liuzhangli mass grave.
