The Penglai She, the Lesheng protest base, was rebuilt into a suite.

Text/Gongku reporter Yang Juru

The promised "Lesheng Preservation Movement Memorial Hall" has become three suites? The Lesheng Retention Self-Rescue Association, the Youth Lesheng Alliance, and many militia groups went to the Overwatch Council today (15) days to lodge a complaint, accusing the Ministry of Health and Welfare of the Lesheng Nursing Home for infringing on the residents' rights to live, health, and medical care during the reconstruction of the Lesheng Park project. It even violated the Cultural Assets Preservation Law and demanded that the Control Yuan investigate immediately.

Lin Xiupeng, a member of the Youth Lesheng Alliance, criticized Shi Lingna, the director of the Lesheng Sanatorium, for serious violations of the law. The protest memorial hall was converted into three suites, saying that it was a deception to the society to live in the inmates.

Orthodox Academy's persecution of human rights has not stopped. Human rights parks have no human rights?

Lin Xiupeng, a member of the Youth Lesheng Alliance, said that the Lesheng Sanatorium used to live in hundreds of residents. Since 2004, after the struggle for the protection of human rights of patients with Han’s disease and the forced eviction of the MRT Bureau, it was finally possible to retain some of the continued residential areas in 2007. However, during the reconstruction project of the Lesheng Park since 2017, the hospital did not hold any briefings or public hearings to the residents, and there was no official document to inform them, and there was no channel for residents to participate in the project communication. I don't know the repair method, the repair schedule, whether the inmates can go back and use it, and whether there is a relay replacement space.

Lin Xiupeng said that during February, the hospital verbally informed that the important public facilities of the Music Home, including the meeting space "Penglai She" and the "Electrotherapy Center" that provides inmates with dressing changes and rehabilitation, will be closed on March 1, requiring self-help Items will be cleared.

After the Self-Rescue Association launched the "Night Watch Penglaishe" protest on 2/28, the office of legislators Hong Shenhan and Wang Wanyu convened a coordination meeting with the hospital on 3/3, requesting the hospital to stop the repair work first and explain it to the residents before proceeding. The lower house It was just stated that Penglaishe is expected to be planned into three suites.

Lin mentioned that there are 78 residents in Lesheng, with an average age of 80 years old. At present, there are 39 residential buildings and more than 20 modular houses in the old campus. There is no urgent need to use Penglaishe as a redundant suite.

The Executive Yuan has approved the planning of the Memorial Hall, and the Music Academy will not abandon it?

In 2017, the " Lesheng Park Overall Development Plan " approved by the Executive Yuan will be implemented in stages. In the short and medium term, residents' houses and important buildings should be restored year by year, so as to achieve the goal of residents' comfortable living; the long-term goal will be to formally establish the "National Han's Disease Medical Human Rights". Park".

Lin Xiupeng said that the Executive Yuan’s high-level plan “Overall Development Plan for the Lesheng Park” has written that Penglaishe will be planned to be the “Lesheng Preservation Movement Memorial Hall”, which will display from 2004 (93 years of the Republic of China) to the present, facing the MRT Machine Factory The long process of choosing the wrong site, and the deprivation of the human rights of the residents of the Lesheng Hospital, the long process of jointly defending the homeland by the Le Qing and the residents, and then the Longsheng Sanatorium was registered as a historical building and a potential point of world cultural heritage. The reconstruction plan of Penglai She passed by the hospital this year completely contradicts the higher-level plan, erasing the original important historical texture of Penglai She, and destroying the efforts of the past protest movement. "Did the hospital deceive the top and the bottom, or did the Ministry of Health and Welfare ignore it and the Executive Yuan pretended that no human rights had occurred and that cultural assets had been destroyed?"

Li Tianpei, the 88-year-old president of the Lesheng Preservation and Self-Saving Association, said that he had been in the hospital for 74 years. Even if it was very inconvenient to come to the Overwatch Council from Xinzhuang, he would still speak in order to preserve the history of Lesheng Penglaishe. He mentioned that the international exchanges of Han disease patients are all conducted in Penglaishe, and few Han disease sanatoriums have been developed into other facilities abroad. He hoped that the Overwatch Council would pay attention to this case.

Cai Yaying, a lawyer from the Savage Heart and Foot Ecology Association, believes that Penglaishe is a public space full of historical significance for the Lesheng Conservation Movement. In the past, the conferences, activities and discussions of the preservation movement were held in Penglaishe, just like a large living room facing the world. , scholars, experts and athletes from all over the world came to Penglaishe to learn about the experience of Lesheng residents and communicate with each other.

Cai said that at present, the court has violated the "Cultural Capital Law", and Penglai She is a historical building, which complies with Article 30, item 2 of the "Cultural Capital Law". The use or reuse of the designated historic sites shall maintain or demonstrate the reasons and value of the original designation.”, and Article 24, Paragraph 5, for the overall restoration and reuse of historical buildings, briefing sessions, public meetings, and public events should be held in stages. During the hearing, relevant information should be made public, and local residents should be notified to participate.

There are still people living in Leshengyuan! "Engineering Thinking" Forces Residents to Accommodate

"The country has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild the healthy life, but what the patients get is pain." Li Tianpei said that the medical center in the old hospital district that can rehabilitate the residents and change the medicine was closed, and the hospital asked the residents to emigrate. Going to a medical building one kilometer away for treatment loses the original meaning of "recuperation", and does not really allow the inmates to receive treatment and recuperation.

Lin Xiupeng criticized that the electrotherapy center is now used as a restroom for repair workers, showing that the Health and Welfare Department Lesheng Sanatorium, which should have been "people-oriented", used "engineering thinking" as an excuse to implement the budget progress, and constantly forced residents to cooperate with the repair and construction projects , violating human rights.

Mr. Xie from National Taiwan University’s Lesheng Club said that popular topics in recent years include sovereignty, environmental protection, long-term care, transitional justice, and discrimination. Preserved looks are intertwined, and caring about the Lesheng issue is about how people will see what happens on this land in the future.

Xie said that cultural resources, continued residence and the use of medical public space are not zero-sum solutions. The government claims to be based on democracy and human rights. When the situation happened, the grandpa and grandma of Lesheng were repeatedly forced to accommodate the policy, instead of thinking about the policy from the needs of the inmates. He hopes that the Lesheng reconstruction issue will spread among schools, so that more people will realize the value of progress is not just shouting slogans.
