independence movement pioneer Su Beng (史明) for his persistence as she took part in a carnival-like celebration outside the Presidential Office for the activist’s 100th birthday.
“Thank you for serving as an example to prove to all Taiwanese what kind of dignity we can achieve if we insist on fighting for our ideals,” Tsai noted as she gave a birthday card to Su at the celebration attended by hundreds of people.
She also hugged the activist, a long-time supporter of Tsai and her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
Su Beng thanked President Tsai for her kind words and noted that for the first time in 400 years, a woman was serving as president of Taiwan. [FULL STORY]
