December 24, 1876, Governor of Fujian, Ding Richang, went to Taiwan for a round of inspection. Ding is a bright person who contributed greatly to the movement of self-strengthening. Some of Taiwan's early constructions, such as railroad and electric wires are also out of his ideas. Regarding Ding's constructions in Taiwan, you may refer to our research finding: Lu Shih-chiang, Ding Richang and the Movement of Self-strengthening, pp. 282-320.
