✨ Join us to revisit this pivotal moment in Taiwan’s history and discover how migration reshaped the island’s political, economic, and cultural landscape—laying the foundation for the diverse society we see today. Topic： 大陸遷台潮對戰後臺灣社會的影響 The Social Impact of the Great Mainland Exodus on Postwar Taiwan Speaker： 楊孟軒 副教授｜美國密蘇里大學歷史系 Yang, Meng-Hsuan — Associate Professor, Department of History, University of Missouri Date: 2025/11/20 (Thu) Time: 10:00 – 12:00 Venue: 國際大樓 360304 教室 (International Building, Room 360304) Abstract： After the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, a large number of people from mainland China relocated to Taiwan along with the Nationalist government, forming what is known as the “Great Mainland Exodus.” This massive migration profoundly reshaped postwar Taiwan’s political, economic, and cultural landscape— Politically, it established an authoritarian system centered on the Kuomintang (KMT); Economically, it relied on U.S. aid and the military-civil service structure to stabilize society; Culturally, it sparked linguistic and provincial tensions while simultaneously fostering knowledge exchange and cultural diversity. Ultimately, this migration played a defining role in shaping Taiwan’s modern, complex, and pluralistic society. Register here：https://reurl.cc/0az6DM
