Biography edit

Chiang was born in Yilan during the Qing Dynasty rule.[1][2] At the age of 10 he began to study with a Confucian scholar (張鏡光). In 1915 he graduated from the Taiwan Medical College, now the National Taiwan University College of Medicine. Around 1919 he married Chen Tian.

He founded the Taian Hospital (大安醫院).[3] in Daitōtei, a district in modern-day Taipei, and invited fellow intellectuals to the hospital to discuss contemporary affairs. In 1920 he began participating in the movement to found the Taiwan Assembly. In 1921 he helped found the Taiwan Cultural Association. He was imprisoned for four months in 1923 and again in 1925 for his opposition to the Japanese colonial government. During this time, Chen Tian would lecture in his stead, continuing the promotion of his ideas. In total, Chiang was imprisoned twelve times.[1]

In 1927, the Taiwan Cultural Association split because of an internal ideological division between rightists and leftists. Chiang went on to help found the Taiwanese People's Party on a platform of unity. The Taiwan People's Party was the first legal party to be founded in Taiwan. Chiang was also involved with the League of Taiwanese Laborers [zh] and the Taiwan Peasant's Union [zh]. He came under criticism from rightists in the government. When Chhoà Pôe-hóe [nan], Ia̍p Êng-cheng [zh] and others prepared for the formation of the Taiwanese Alliance for Home Rule [zh], Chiang expelled them. The Taiwan People's Party contacted the League of Nations several times to protest Japanese issuance of special permits for opium sale as well as the Wushe Incident.

The Taiwanese People's Party's political philosophy was the Three Principles of the People, but Hsieh Chun-mu [zh] and others pushed for a revolutionary line. In 1931, the colonial administration forced the dissolution of the party. Chiang died of typhoid that same year, at the age of 40 (41 by traditional Chinese reckoning). On 23 August 1931, three weeks after his death, over 5,000 mourners marched from Dadaocheng to Yuanshan [zh], where he was buried. Smaller marches in commemoration of Chiang took place across Taiwan, including one in Taichung organized by Lin Hsien-tang and Yang Chao-chia [zh].[4]

Writing in the 1970s in the context of the nativist and tangwai movements, Huang Huang-hsiung described Chiang as Taiwan's Sun Yat-sen.

His grave was located in Taipei Public Cemetery No. 6, on Chongde St., near Liuzhangli Station, until October 2015, when his remains were moved to Cherry Blossom Cemetery in Yilan.[5]

Chiang Wei-chuan [zh] continued advocating for democratization in the wake of his elder brother's death. The younger Chiang was elected to the Taipei City Council in the 1939 local elections held under Japanese rule, joined the Kuomintang upon their arrival in Taiwan, and, after the February 28 incident of 1947, dedicated himself to negotiating with the Chen Yi-led government on the behalf of the people. Chen later ordered the Taiwan People's Association cofounded by Chiang Wei-chuan to change its name to the Taiwan Provincial Political Construction Association and subsequently disband. Chiang then went into hiding for a year. In 1949, Chiang Wei-chuan was appointed leader of the Department of Civil Affairs [zh], and in 1950 became deputy interior minister. Chiang Wei-chuan died in 1975.[6]

A 12.9 km (8.0 mi) freeway tunnel passing under Xueshan to link Taipei with Yilan was opened in 2006.[7] It marked the completion of Taiwan's latest freeway, which was subsequently named the Chiang Wei-shui Freeway in a move that pleased all sides of the political spectrum in Taiwan.

Chiang was featured on a commemorative 10 New Taiwan Dollar coin in 2010.[8]
