The 1652 Revolt: The Guo Huaiyi Rebellion – S6-E24

<p>John is joined by writer and historian Scott Crawford to recount the bloodiest episode in the history of Dutch Formosa. A revolt, led by Guo Huaiyi, resulted in the deaths of several thousand Chinese. We look at what drove farmers to rebellion and the tragic events of September 1652. This episode grew out of John and Scott’s special ten-part read-along of Dr. Chen Yao-Chang’s novel <em>A Tale of Three Tribes in Dutch Formosa</em>, which follows Dutch, Chinese and Siraya characters in the mid-seventeenth century.
