Biyun Chan Temple in Changhua’s Ershuei Township (二水) was in 2011 acquired by Wei Ming-jen (魏明仁), a contractor and former military officer. The temple hired Wei to build an expansion, but later lost the building to him due to a property rights dispute. As a result, Shih Huai-tsung (釋懷宗), a former nun of the temple, regained ownership of the property under her legal name, Chen Fu-mei (陳富美). They were accompanied by Changhua County Councilor Hsu Shu-wei (許書維) and officials from the county’s Cultural Affairs Bureau. With others’ help, she finally regained the property rights to the temple after a lawsuit that lasted more than a decade, she said.
