Chief Mona Rudao (also known as Monaludo or Mona Radau) was born as the first son of Rudao Bai, the chief of the Mahebo Community of the Atayal tribe, in 1882. This favoured background helped him to be one of only 6 aborigines to graduate from 'normal' school in Formosa (Taiwan) under the Japanese. As the educated son of an Atayal chief, who necessarily spoke Japanese, Mona Rudao was subsequently honoured with a visit to the Japanese 'motherland'.
At the end of 1930 he was dead. Reputed to be the leader of the Atayal braves who carried out the attack on a school in Wushe in the same year, Chief Mona Rudao and his followers were mercilessly hunted down. Chief Mona Rudao committed suicide on 1 December 1930 in a cave.
The Japanese only located his body four years later. His remains were taken to the Taihoku (Taipei) Imperial University Department of Archaeology where they were displayed as a warning to all Taiwanese. After much confusion over identity and location, Chief Mona Rudao was finally honoured and laid to rest at Wushe, Nantou County in 1981.
A 20NT coin to honour Chief Mona Rudao was minted in 2001 for general usage.
