Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an stated that he must express respect to Lu Xiulian, who was present at the scene today. As early as the early 1970s, she advocated for "new feminism" and worked tirelessly for gender equality; later, she suffered imprisonment. But it is precisely due to the sacrifices and dedication of that generation, their courage in pioneering, that we now have the Taiwan of today. Today, he promises all the elders of Taiwan: "democracy and human rights" are the values of Taiwan, "openness and diversity" are the spirit of Taiwan. I am the mayor of Taipei, and I will do my utmost to "defend" Taiwan, protect human rights, and never betray the hard work of the elders, nor the loyalty of my generation to this land.
