On August 23, 1989, fifty years after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, more than two million people from the three Baltic States–Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania- joined hands to create a 600-kilometer human chain and demonstrated their determination to regain their independence. Their effort received enormous international attention and support. With our third democratic presidential election and first ever “peace referendum” approaching, China once again instills fear in the Taiwanese public with the military threat. On the 57th anniversary of the 228 Incident, we want to remember the past as well as demonstrate our optimistic outlook for the future. We will bring more than a million people together to form a 500-kilometer human chain along the west coast of Taiwan. This chain will symbolize a wall created by the bare hands of the people – regardless of ethnic background, gender, age, or political differences – to protect the freedom and peace of Taiwan.
