🌏 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.
