Taipei Palace Museum Three cultural relics were damaged in more than a year. The "legislator" demanded that the "Executive Yuan" be held accountable. The director of the Palace Museum in Taipei Wu Micha stepped down. The rumor that he had been questioned when he took office was revived.
Wu Micha
According to Taiwan's China Times, Wu Micha, 66, graduated from the History Department of National Taiwan University and studied in Japan. He completed his doctoral course in Humanities Research at the University of Tokyo, specializing in modern Taiwan history. He taught Taiwan history-related courses in the Department of History of National Taiwan University for many years. In 2001, he "entered to the cabinet" for the first time during his tenure as Chen Shui-bian. He served as the deputy chairman of the predecessor of the Ministry of Culture, " Cultural and Construction Association ", and after retirement in 2010, he participated in the "New Taiwan National Policy Think Tank" founded by Gu Kuanmin, the "independence faction". His personal "independence faction" color was strong. He made many "anti-China" remarks in the compilation of textbooks, fine-tuning of anti-curriculum syllabus, and anti-service trade movements.
After Tsai Ing-wen took office in 2016, Wu Micha took over the leadership of " National History Museum " and served as a member of the " Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall " Transformation and promotion advisory group. Later, he was transferred to the director of the Taipei Palace Museum, and there were many controversies during his tenure. During his tenure as the "Courtess of National History", scholars from mainland China and Hong Kong and Macao were prohibited from accessing materials; in 2019, he took office as the director of the Palace Museum in Taipei, and the outside world criticized him for accelerating "cultural Taiwan independence". Wu Zeng posted a Facebook post to move jade cabbage , meat-shaped stones, etc. to the South Academy for exhibition. The arguments are similar to the green camp concept and are regarded as a general who makes the Palace Museum in Taipei in line with Taiwan's subjective discourse.
In 2021, Wu Micha served as an advisor in the TV series "Scaro", which was set in the "Luo Mei Incident", and was involved in the controversy of not interpreting Taiwan's history from the perspective of ethnic minorities and beautifying Americans Li Xiande . In addition, although the group reorganization list proposed by the Executive Yuan in May this year was not included in the Forbidden City, Wu Micha still expressed his willingness to incorporate the Ministry of Culture to a third-level agency, so he was named by the "legislator" but failed to insist on defending the Forbidden City, and his professionalism was questioned.
In July this year, Hong Kong Palace Museum Cultural Museum was established. Wu Micha even answered the question in the Legislative Yuan that he had told colleagues at the current director level and above of the Palace Museum in Taipei that there must be no formal exchanges. Now that there has been another incident of damage to cultural relics, Wu Micha not only has his past position attracted attention, but his professionalism in maintaining precious cultural relics and the team management ability of cultural resources protection has been questioned.
According to Taiwan media reports, the "legislator" of the Kuomintang, Chen Yixin, broke the news yesterday that the Taipei Palace Museum broke the collection of "Ming Hongzhi , a delicate yellow and green colored double dragon small bowl", and even issued a ban on internal personnel to hide the truth. Zhao Shaokang, chairman of "China Guangxi", said that this is a world-class joke. The president of the institute, Wu Micha, should pay his wealth and property; the Kuomintang caucus, asked Wu to take political responsibility.
Zhao Shaokang said that in the past, in order to prevent the Japanese, the national treasure of the Forbidden City was intact. Why was it broken in the Forbidden City now? It is incredible; Wu Micha is an expert and should know how to protect the national treasure. Now he is responsible for breaking it, and he must bear the responsibility for compensation. He cannot be in a position of corpse and is even more inconceivable. (Xue Yang/Edited)
