Mona Rudao

Mona Rudao (Chinese: 莫那魯道; 1882/1930) was the son of a chief of tribe Seedeq. In 1911 it made a visit with the Japan. It succeeded his father as a chief of the village of Mahebo (馬赫坡社) and became one of the most influential chiefs of the area of Wushe (霧社).

It is especially known to have carried out the Révolte of Wushe (霧社事件) in the county of Nantou in 1930 against the Japanese authorities. It ends up giving itself death at the time of this revolt to prevent that the Japanese do not capture it alive. Its body was found in 1933, it was taken along to the department of Archéologie of the imperial university where it was exhibé. It is only into 1974 that the remainders of Mona Rudao were buried.

A long time the revolt of Wushe as Mona Rudao were recovered by the authorities of Taiwan in order to “propaganda” like a figure of resistance to Japanese. Mona Rudao did not fight against the Japanese to defend any integrity of Taiwan or China but only to defend its people and his culture. Nevertheless Mona Rudao is regarded as a Hero.
