Ko Chi-hua, who was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment after being labelled a "rebel," recalls that when the February 28 Incident broke out in Taipei the school carried on lessons as normal for the first few days. Later, after the establishment of a "revolutionary headquarters," government troops began to surround the school. Sporadic fighting broke out, but there were no casualties.
