The Long Hard Walk for a Referendum on Nuke Four

Synopsis

On September 21 1994, a demonstration indicated by LIN Yi-Hsiung calling for a public referendum on the building of the fourth nuclear power plant started out from Lungshan Temple in Taipei, and after circumambulating the whole of Taiwan, returned there on October 25. This was a silent protest - while walking they maintained an atmosphere of stern solemnity. In the words of LIN Yi-Hsiung, this long hard walk was a most beautiful gift to give this most beautiful of islands.
