Taiwan - World Freedom Day
January 23 is celebrated as World Freedom Day in Taiwan. This memorial day marks the return of Taiwanese POWs after the end of the Korean War. The celebration is coordinated by the World League for Freedom and Democracy.
On January 23, 1954, over 14,000 Communist Chinese prisoners of the Korean War landed in the Port of Keelung, Taiwan. They grew disillusioned with Communist ideals and decided to seek freedom in Taiwan instead of returning to mainland China.
