Huang Ma-Dian (黃媽典, 1893–1947) was a doctor who treated the poor free of charge. He was also one of the founders of the Chiayi Bus Company and the chairperson of the Automobile Corporation. After World War II, he became the president of the chamber of commerce in Tainan County. In 1946, he was elected to be the Tainan County councilor. He was accused of being the leader of insurgents in the 228 Incident. The soldiers put a sign on his back and tied him up. Then they chained him to a jeep. He ran and fell after the jeep. Eventually, he couldn’t run anymore, so he gave in. The jeep dragged him to Chiayi Circle, and the soldiers executed him by shooting.
