	The City of Sadness Controversy
		The rapid political and social restructuring of the late 1980s and the rescinding of martial law in 1987 have given the public an opportunity to pressure the government to disclose files of the February 28 Incident.
		In 1992, in response to the increasing demand on this issue, an official report was published in which the government has admitted that its army killed an estimated 18,000 to 28,000 native-born Taiwanese in the 1947 massacre.
		However, political scholars and historians from the opposition have indicated that despite its figures, the 400,000-word 1992 document is still written in the logic of historical determination that refuses to acknowledge that the contradictions and strong arm of colonialism should be held responsible for the "unavoidable" conflict.
