As time passed, Taiwanese in Ishikagi gradually gained respect and acceptance. Tragically, when the Second World War broke out, all of Okinawa became a military zone, and the majority of Taiwanese had no choice but to give up their homes and scatter back to Taiwan.
隨著時間過去，台灣人在石垣島已逐漸取得尊敬和認同，可惜二次大戰爆發，整個沖繩成為戰場，大部分的台灣人又不得不放棄開闢多年的家園，疏散回台。
