The "Green Island White Terror Memorial Park" used to be the "Green Island Human Rights Cultural Park." Located at No. 20, Jiangjunyan, Gongguan Village, Lüdao Township, Taichung County, the park covers an area of approximately 32 hectares and resides on the northeast tip of Green Island. The park contains successive phases of imprisonment culture, as the site of the Fire Island Floating Population Detention Center, New Life Educational Camp, and Green Oasis House during the authoritarian regime—a place where significant human rights violations occurred. The buildings, natural landscapes, and ecological vistas of this entire park reflect long-term human interaction with nature, integrating various forms of cultural assets and landscapes into one cultural landscape. During the martial law era, the "Green Island White Terror Memorial Park" served as a facility for detaining military, political, and criminal cases. From 1951 to 1970, the New Life Educational Camp period saw political prisoners held in crowded conditions. From 1972 to 1987, Green Oasis House operated under the Ministry of Defense Re-education Prison system. Green Oasis House was specifically built in response to the Taoyuan Incident (1970), adopting an enclosed high-walled prison design, quite different from the spatial form of the New Life Educational Camp period. The "Green Island White Terror Memorial Park" holds a significant historical role in the history of human rights development in Taiwan. Each era has its own sorrows and lamentations, and the "Green Island White Terror Memorial Park" emerged amid politically sensitive times, originally dedicated to imprisoning political and ideological dissidents. Situated in front of Jiangjunyan in Gongguan Village of Green Island and spanning a vast area, the park encompasses Jiangjunyan, the Human Rights Memorial Park, the Green Oasis House, and the Zhuangjing military base. Among these, Green Oasis House and the New Life Educational Camp were centers for re-education and ideological transformation. Upon entering the park, visitors can immediately sense the heavy and oppressive atmosphere of the past, making it an essential site for understanding the history of Taiwan's white terror period and human rights development. Green Oasis House, formerly the Green Island Re-education Prison of the Ministry of Defense, was completed in 1972. Political prisoners were gradually transferred from Taoyuan Prison and other military prisons to this site. The park retains the prison's original towering walls, barbed wire, playground, auditorium, octagonal tower, solitary confinement cells, and 52 rooms of varying sizes. The right-side cave entrance, known as the "Gate of Hell," was the only access point to Green Oasis House in the past. Passing through this gate meant a slim chance of survival. Inside Green Oasis House, numerous exhibits on the white terror era are displayed. The narrow prison and dim, oppressive atmosphere still linger heavily despite many years having passed. In the early 1950s, due to the overcrowding of prisons across Taiwan, political convicts were sent to Green Island to undergo endless labor and ideological re-education. Consequently, the New Life Educational Camp became the largest labor re-education detention center. Today, the New Life Educational Camp preserves the former military barracks, classrooms, and kitchens. Inside the rooms, lifelike wax figures depict historical scenes. The small dormitory (cell block), accommodating approximately 120 to 160 people, forces prisoners to sleep in overlapping positions on one side, making rolling over difficult. This environment allows visitors to truly feel the hardships and unfair treatment faced by prisoners, who only managed to relax briefly during an hour before bedtime by writing letters, playing chess, or playing the violin or erhu. Green Island Human Rights Memorial Park The underground design of the park's memorial statues and uneven grassland symbolizes the dark period and inequality buried beneath this history. The Human Rights Memorial Monument embodies the pursuit of freedom from fear in the new era. It was officially launched on International Human Rights Day in 1999 and is also known as the "Green Island Crying Statue." Its spiral structure channels rainwater from the two side grooves into the center when it rains, resembling tears flowing down slowly. Next to this monument stands another titled "The Crying Statue," featuring an inscription by renowned writer Baeyang: "In those days, how many mothers wept night after night for their children imprisoned on this island." Twenty-eight simple words capture the profound suffering of that time.
