Kaohsiung Taiwan 1928-2003

   In 1926, when my mother was two years old, my grandfather, who was a teacher of Japanese and Chinese, was transferred from Kyongsong, Korea to Kaohsiung, Taiwan. After a two-year stay, the family moved to Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture. In March 2003, I visited Kaohsiung with a family photo of my mother and photos of Kaohsiung before the war that I saw in the library of the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Center. The girls' high school where my grandfather had worked became "Kaohsiung Girls' High School", and young students were growing up freely. After all, the place of residence of the family could not be identified.
