On the 37th anniversary of democracy activist Chan I-hua's self-immolation during the funeral of Cheng Nan-jung, the Presbyterian Church and other groups held a memorial service on the 19th at Zhuzaki Waterfront Park in Chiayi County. Dr. Chen Yung-hsing, who fought for Taiwan's democracy alongside Cheng, choked up as he said he has struggled to face their deaths for 37 years. The event, attended by hundreds from across Taiwan, also honored other democracy pioneers. Speakers including Chen, Linda Gail Arrigo, and Chiayi County Magistrate Weng Chang-liang reflected on Taiwan's sovereignty and the unfinished goal of "nation-building," vowing to defend its democratic way of life.
