His grandfather has ever run business at Calabash (Fengyuan), Qiufengjia lived in Fengyuan when he was a child.
He was so talent that he remembered what he glanced over and got a good reputation of ˇ§Deity Childˇ¨. He passed the court examination at the 15 th year of Guangxu; however, he was unwilling to be an officer, he came back Taiwan to devote himself to education.
After the Sino-Japanese War, the Ching Court ceded Taiwan to Japan . Qiufengjia was loatht to submit to the governance of Japanese Emperor, he established ˇ§Taiwan Democratic Stateˇ¨ with his teacher- Tangjingsong to resist the ceding of Taiwan and lead the armed force and the residents to fight with the invasive Japanese Army. But they retreated in defeat due to the shortage of military facilities and manpower.
Qiufengjia knew that he can do nothing then took the boat to mainland China from Wuqi. At the period he stayed at Quanzhou, the affairs against Japan spread out, the Japanese went to meet him without delay and try to lure Qiufengjia by the position and money to come back Taiwan with his followers, but Qiufengjia was so loyal, steadfast and patriotic, he remained unmoved. |
