Aug 15, 2026

The Peng Ming-min Cultural and Educational Foundation held a memorial luncheon for this pioneer of Taiwan's democracy movement, focusing positively on the generational transmission of the democratic spirit.

  • Today marks the 103rd anniversary of the birth of the late Taiwan independence movement and democracy elder Peng Ming-min, and the foundation held a memorial thanksgiving luncheon in Taipei.
  • Foundation Chairwoman Yang Huang Mei-hsing stressed the need to pass down, generation after generation, the spirit of Peng Ming-min's lifelong dedication to Taiwan's democracy and freedom.
  • Attendees included figures from the democratic camp such as Presidential Office senior advisors, national policy advisors, and legislators, while President Lai Ching-te and Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim also sent telegrams of congratulation.
  • DPP Legislator Shen Bo-yang spoke on the importance of young people accessing diverse sources of information, and was praised as a model of the diverse family that transcends blood ties.
  • Chen Yung-hsing, the nominee for President of the Control Yuan, responded to questions over unification versus independence, saying that advocating Taiwan's sovereign independence is precisely what protects the Republic of China from being annexed.

Outlook: The democratic camp will continue to use commemorative events to build a sense of shared identity, passing on Peng Ming-min's values to the next generation of citizens.
