Taipei, Feb. 16 (CNA) A group of 1,000 people with the surname Liu gathered Friday 
near the site of a family shrine in New Taipei to celebrate their ancestry and plan for the collection of their history and genealogical records.
Liu Chi-chun (劉啟群), president of the Liu Clan Association, said the gathering was testimony to “the power of unity,” which tends to be rare in urban areas like New Taipei.
Some of the 1,000 members of the Liu clan traveled from other cities and counties for the family reunion lunch at a restaurant near the site of their shrine in New Taipei’s Xindian District.
As is customary, the clan leaders disbursed “respect” money to the senior members and bursaries to the students who are doing well in school, from elementary to university level. [FULL STORY]
