[Reporter Chen Yufu/Taipei Report] Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and the "mausoleums" of the Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Kai-shek have been abandoned and have not been disposed of for many years.

The Kaohsiung City 228 Care Association held the "National Transformational Justice Citizens Forum" on the 30th of this month. At the meeting, it was agreed that the "mausoleums" of the two Chiangs are the remnants of the feudal monarchy and should not exist. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a tribute to dictators and colonizers. The establishment, which conflicts with the image of Taiwan's freedom and democracy, should not exist; this consensus has been sent to the Ministry of Culture and other relevant ministries for reference in future governance.

The Kaohsiung 228 Care Association issued a statement today emphasizing that the main consensus of the audience at the Transitional Justice Citizenship Forum is as follows.

1. Treatment of the remains of the two Chiangs: The "mausoleums" of the two Chiangs are the remnants of the feudal monarchy, and the state should not preserve and maintain the worship of the emperor.

The remains of the two Chiangs should be buried in the Wuzhishan National Cemetery, and some commentators argue that the two Chiangs are dictators and colonizers, who are the perpetrators of Taiwan, and should be sent back to their families for disposal.

2. Disposal of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall: Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was built to praise dictators and colonizers. It conflicts with Taiwan's image of freedom and democracy. It should not exist in any case, nor should it cost the government budget.

The association pointed out that there are various proposals on how to deal with the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, including changing it into the Taiwan Human Rights Memorial Hall, the Legislative Yuan District, the World Tyrant Museum, etc., many of which are completely demolished, so as to prevent its existence from continuing to insult the Taiwanese people and cause the world to despise and despise the people. ridicule.

It also suggested that all obvious symbols of authoritarianism and dictatorship must be covered before demolition or reconstruction, such as removing the military police, covering up the Kuomintang party emblem and closing doors.
