Some new (old) political photos

I just got around to uploading some old photos of the Hand-in-Hand rally to protest China’s passing of an “anti-seccession law.” It was March 23, 2004. The Taiwan election was coming. This event proved to be a key factor helping Chen gain a second victory. The plan was to form a chain of people holding hands from one end of the island to the other. The actual link-up didn’t go off too well, as no one seemed to be looking after the synchronization issue. But hold hands we did, for a good minute or two when it became obvious the time had arrived. The whole event was very pleasant and peaceful. It seemed to mean a lot to all who participated, and even many of those just driving by. As a response to the negative election campaigning by the KMT and PFP parties, it was perfect. I think we need to do it again next year.
