Kuomintang rule

February 28 Incident
During the February 28 Incident in 1947 many rioters saw the school as a foothold to launch an assault on Kuomintang soldiers, including the Self-Defense Forces of the school made up of students. Despite headmaste Rin Ching Yuen's dissuasion, the force was established. A cease-fire was not agreed, and commander P'eng Meng Ch'i ordered an assault on the city government, the Kaohsiung train station, and the school. Due to lack of firepower, the students were killed. The fighting devastated the already damaged equipment (during World War II), bullet holes could still be seen inside the school.
