Occurring in 1930, the Wushe Incident has been portrayed ever since the KMT regime withdrew to Taiwan in 1949 as a righteous case of Taiwan residents resisting the yoke of their colonial masters.
The incident was triggered by oppression by Japanese: the snatching of lands from indigenous people, the enslavement of Aboriginal men, and the mistreatment of their women.

The Wushe Incident is considered one the main reasons that the Japanese decided to recruit the Takasago Volunteers.
After the Wushe Incident, the Japanese had a high regard for the aborigines' combat skills in the forested mountains.
Another factor was that in the wake of Pearl Harbor, there were only limited numbers of fit, potential conscripts left in Japan, and with the expansion of the Japanese lines from the Pacific to Southeast Asia, the tough, hardworking aboriginal youths, with their knack for fighting in forested mountain terrain, naturally became a priority consideration.

 Seediq saga dramatizes importance of dignity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The movie, whose screenplay was written by Wei himself, tells the heart-rending but highly inspirational story of the heroic 1930 Wushe Uprising of the Seediq people, led by their chief, 48-year-old Mona Rudao, in the mountainous region of Taiwan's Nantou County against the Japanese colonialists of that time.
The specific chain of events that touched off the uprising, launched by more than 300 Seediq braves on Oct. 27, 1930 in the mountain village of Wushe, are in themselves relatively inconsequential within the overall context of the degradation of their dignity and freedom perpetrated over the previous decades.
Until only a decade ago, nearly all Chinese-language accounts of the Wushe Uprising published since the Japanese withdrew from Taiwan have tended to use this chapter of history to inveigh against foreign powers' humiliation of the ROC, painting the Seediq rebels as patriotic ROC citizens.

As with the attidudes concerning the headhunting past of the Taroko, the conceptions of origin often formed a contrast to the convictions of the elites: only a few villagers were inclined to regard on themselves as 'Austronesians', that is as members of peoples who were totally different from the Han.
References that hint at an historical interest in headhunting can be found in newspaper commentaries on the occasion of the 65th commemoration day of the Wushe incident in 1995 (the first big commemoration festival was held in 1990).
Several authors here discuss the question of whether the Wushe incident was really an expression of anti-Japanese opposition by China-loyal Aborigines, as it had been described by the KMT, or whether it rather expressed the desire of the more or less japanized Atayal to revitalize headhunting after this practice had been prohibited in 1914.
