Tsai Jui-yueh

Tsai Jui-yueh (Chinese: 蔡瑞月; pinyin: Cài Ruìyuè; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chhoà Sūi-goa̍t; 8 February 1921 – 29 May 2005) was a Taiwanese dancer and choreographer regarded as the mother of modern dance in Taiwan.

[3] Tsai returned to Taiwan in 1946,[2] and grew in popularity during this period, in part because she accepted every offer to perform.

[6][7] Tsai's travel restrictions were lifted in 1983,[3] and she moved to Australia to live and work with her son, a dancer who was a student of Elizabeth Dalman.

[15][16] In 2017, the Tsai Jui-yueh Dance Research Institute [zh] and the Nylon Cheng Liberty Foundation and Memorial Museum jointly organized demonstrations marking the anniversary of the February 28 incident.

[17] Tsai's life was commemorated by the National Human Rights Commission, a division of the Control Yuan, in November 2020.
