Hsieh Er was a legendary figure on the political stage of Taiwan after the Sino-Japanese War. Within a short period of four years, she became a member of the legislative body in Taipei, a member of the National Assembly, a member of the People’s Government Participation Council, and a legislator in the Parliament. Her achievement was nothing to be compared by any woman of the time. Hsieh Er was also a member of the Kuomintang, and played important roles in a variety of political and cultural organizations, e.g., People's Freedom Guarantee Committee of Taipei, Taiwan Cultural Association, Constitutional Reform Association of Taiwan, Political Reconstruction of Taiwan. However, it was not clear why she chose to leave for USA at the highest point of her career, and stayed there for 41 years. She returned to Taiwan in 1991 and passed away in 1995. Her resignation from politics still remains a mystery until today. We have found out that after Hsieh was discharged from prison, she became very active in politics, and had very good connections in the political circle. She was not only able to take many important positions within four years, but could also move freely among different parties. She was outstanding in public services, emerging as a pioneer on the political stage and setting a good example for women in Taiwan in this aspect as well. From the many proposals she submitted or supported in her civil service, we can see that her concerns were quite diverse-from the rights and the interests of women to constitution, internal and external affairs, finance and banking, sanitation and environment, etc. Her concerns extended far beyond her hometown to many places in mainland China too. As for political party activities, she joined the KMT in 1945 and became an important member in the women's cadre of the party. With the support of the party and of Soong May-ling (Madame Chiang Kai-shek), she founded Taipei Women's Association and Taiwan Women's Association, establishing her status as the leader of women in Taiwan. Furthermore, she had also established good relationships with people other than her political partys and was able to take position in many civil organizations, e.g., the Committee for the Protection of People's Freedom, Taiwan Cultural Association, Constitutional Reform Association of Taiwan, and Political Reconstruction of Taiwan. Her ability to maintain good connections with people of different walks certainly made a great contribution to her successful career in politics. But at a critical moment when the strife between KMT and Chinese Communists worsened, she was frequently misunderstood because of this particular strength. Finally, her strength became a fatal blow: she had but to give up her career, left her hometown and went into exile. She had to bear all sorts of blames and reproaches from her homeland.
