E-NEWSPAPER #Taiwan

This issue is once again a special edition celebrating Taiwan’s National Day. The front and second pages feature the National Day address delivered by President Lai Ching-te, which is well worth our repeated study and reflection. The third page highlights the National Day celebrations held in Vancouver, Canada, and San Francisco, USA. The fourth page is a special memorial section commemorating the third anniversary of Wang Runan and the Sitong Bridge hero Peng Lifa.

This issue is dedicated to celebrating the 114th National Day of the Republic of China (Taiwan). First and foremost, we sincerely wish the Republic of China a happy birthday—may the nation prosper and its democracy shine forever! On the front page, we feature a bilingual article reviewing the birth and historical journey of the Republic of China. The second and third pages present a comprehensive list and overview of Taiwan’s presidents throughout history, compiled from the official website of the Office of the President. The fourth page covers President Lai Ching-te’s attendance at the 114th National Day evening celebration, along with a collection of photos capturing the festive atmosphere. Taiwan belongs to the world, and the world celebrates with Taiwan. May Taiwan’s tomorrow be even brighter!

This issue’s front page spotlights President Lai Ching-te’s speech, bluntly naming China a hostile foreign force, underscoring the complex, tense cross-strait relations. Lai firmly defends Taiwan’s stance and dignity, emphasizing its commitment to democratic values. Page 2 features photographer Lu Guang’s lens, capturing the lives of China’s marginalized. These ignored communities reveal untold suffering and resistance, their poverty a silent rebellion against an oppressive regime where the vulnerable suffer first. Their struggles, though often erased by history, persist with quiet resilience. Page 3 compiles news and reader voices, reflecting diverse perspectives on current events. Page 4 showcases a photo collection from San Francisco’s Tibetan community, commemorating 66 years of Tibetan resistance, each image a testament to their unyielding spirit for freedom.
