In 1990s, the Taiwanese who were under controlled by Martial Law began to demonstrate against the government. “The Formosa Magazine Event” which shocked the world occurred in 1979. Though Ms. Chen Chu was born in Yilan, she chose to fight against the government with people in Kaohsiung. At last, she was arrested and sentenced to death. The struggles of Ms. Chen were most connected to Kaohsiung, including Social Affairs Bureau of Kaohsiung City Director. Chen Chu said that “Kaohsiung is her second mother hometown”.
