Springtime of the Wild Lily

Synopsis

At the outset, the film informs the audience of its intention to both document and support the student movement. In March 1990, students from all over the universities, colleges and volitional schools throughout Taiwan raised their voices in unison to call for old National Assembly members to retire from office. There were four points to their demand: dissolve the National Assembly; abolish the Temporary Measures for Suppression of the Rebellion; convene a conference to discuss national affairs; and provide a timetable for democratic reform.
