The Taipei monument that commemorates the recovery of Taiwan

In front of the Zhongshan Hall in Taipei stands a solemn granite monument commemorating the victory of the Chinese People's War Against Japan's Aggression and the recovery of Taiwan to China.

Completed on October 25, 1999, the monument was initially unveiled without an inscription.

The monument was officially unveiled and inscribed on October 25, 2011.

The inscription details the war against Japan's aggression and highlights the contributions of the Taiwan people in the newly created Taiwan Volunteer Corps, the men and women who served as youth workers, and those who joined the fight as soldiers and medics.

The inscription emphasizes that on October 25, 1945, the surrender ceremony held in Taipei marked the formal end of 50 years of Japanese colonial rule over Taiwan and the island's recovery to its homeland.
