Summary: Even after the signing of the 1895 peace treaty marking the end of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95, Taiwanese resistance forces, led by General Liu Yongfu (1837-1917) of the Black Banner Army, continued to attack the occupying Japanese troops. Madam Zhang (in the middle, on a blue horse), wife of Commander-in-chief Sun, formed the women’s resistance force to avenge the death of her husband. She was accompanied into battle by the Liu sisters, probably daughters of General Liu, who is shown in the top right. The scene represents their victorious battle in Zhanghua, which took place on the 27th day of the seventh lunar month of 1895. (Text by John T.
