That day is now observed as National Freedom of Speech Day, and it would be pretty hard to find someone in Taiwan who doesn’t know Deng today. This statue of Chan Yi-hua was erected in 2007 in his hometown of Jhuci Township, Chiayi County. This image of Chan Yi-hua’s self-immolation was taken by photographer Pan Hsiao-hsia. This sign was seen outside of the Presidential Office on the 30th anniversary of Chan Yi-hua’s death. This piece shown last year at the Tainan Art Museum features democracy activists Deng Nan-jung and Chan Yi-hua as door gods.
