500 bomb

After the defeat of 1894-1895 in June 1945, the allied forces bombed Taiwan, and 17 B24 planes dropped more than 500 bombs on the pingtung sugar factory. Mr. Zeng of the sugar factory said that the sugar factory was badly damaged at that time, and it took two years of reconstruction before it began to resume production. During the recovery process, a huge missile was found in the flue of the chimney, but fortunately it was not detonated, so we called fengshan engineering troops to take out the missile, and the shell shell repair painted fish shape. It was originally displayed in the laboratory of the sugar factory and beside the main gate of the sugar factory. This "bomb fish" seems to tell us that "peace is priceless" and "war is endless". In the past, we should cherish our stable life.
