Walking Tour of 'Injustice Sites' Based on Late Political Prisoner Liang Ling-hui's Diary

Liang Ling-hui, a teacher and writer who published works under the pen name 'An Lan,' documented her prison life in a diary. The National Human Rights Museum recently organized a walking tour of 'Injustice Sites'—locations where human rights violations occurred—based on her writings. Zhang Ze-zhou, a 98-year-old former political prisoner, accompanied the tour as a guide. Liang was arrested in 1972 on charges of 'attempting to overthrow the government' and sentenced to life imprisonment. Until her parole in 1986, she recorded daily details such as meals, reading, prayer, and interpersonal connections in her diary. The tour visited sites including the Sanchangli Reception Center, where she was detained after arrest, and the Jing-Mei Human Rights Memorial and Cultural Park. The site where she served her sentence is now the New Taipei City Reserve Command. Zhang, who was also imprisoned there, emphasized that while the physical structures have been demolished, the history of human rights violations must not be forgotten. The museum aims to deepen public understanding of the authoritarian era and transitional justice through these tours.
