Central News Agency, Penghu, May 26. A public art piece symbolizing peace and hope, titled "Rotary International Peace Imagery," was unveiled today at the Magong Third Fishing Port International Plaza. It is set to become a new landmark for Penghu and a significant symbol of international exchange and peace education. The piece was unveiled by Penghu Deputy Magistrate Lin Chieh-hsing, Deputy Speaker Lan Kai-yuan, and Rotary Club of Tainan Peace President Hsu Ying-chi, among others. Hsu expressed gratitude for the support of the Penghu County Government and Council, noting that 12 Rotary districts across Taiwan collaborated to build this piece.
