  During Japanese Colonial Period, Jhao-Shen Lin advocated Nationalism to demand civil rights of Taiwanese people. In 1914, he organized “Taiwanese Assimilation Society” in Taipei to pursue the equal rights as the Japanese citizens, instead of assimilating with Japan.  At that time, Lin was largely considered as a “spiritual leader” by educated youth. In 1915, Jhao-Shen Lin and his cousin, Lie-Tang Lin founded Taichung Middle School to demand the right of education for Taiwanese people, which afterwards served as the foundation of Taiwan political movement.  Jhao-Shen Lin energetically fight for the establishment of a representative assembly in order to win the right to self-rule. Between 1921 and 1934, the assembly movement sent a total of 15 petitions to the Japanese Imperial Assembly.  The petition drive came to an end in 1934.
