The Wu-Wang-Zai-Ju Inscribed Rock (Chinese: 毋忘在莒勒石; pinyin: Wú Wàng Zài Jǔ Lēishí) is a rock at Mount Taiwu in Jinhu Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan.

History[]

After losing Mainland China at the end of Chinese Civil War in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek tried to set up strategies to retake back the mainland from the Communist Party of China. In 1952, he wished to make an inscription on a rock. General Hu Lien then tried to search for the ideal place to write such wordings. Once found, Chiang wrote four Chinese characters named 毋忘在莒 which means Do not forget the experience in Ju as a reminder to the Republic of China Armed Forces stationed in Kinmen. The words refer to the history of Tian Dan of the Qi State during the Warring States period.^[1]
