At war's end in 1945, Taiwan reverted to the Republic of China. In 1949, the National Government implemented the draft in Taiwan. All young men of draft age, Aborigine and otherwise, were required to serve their country. A number of them, attracted by the financial security, pursued studies in military academies, thereby continuing to "give over their bodies to their country."
1945 年終戰，台灣回歸中華民國，國民政府於 1949 年來台並實施徵兵制，原住民男子與其他役齡青年一樣必須為國服役，許多人更在經濟保障的誘因下進入軍校，持續將身體讓渡給國體。
