The founder of Tian Dao Meng and president of Taiyang Alliance, Wu Tongtan, passed away on May 22 at the age of 75. His funeral is held today with an estimated attendance of 10,000 people or more, prompting police to be on high alert to prevent any disturbances. Before his passing, a procession of luxury cars totaling over 100 million NT dollars escorted Wu during his final journey. Wu Tongtan, once a local figure in Keelung, founded the Taiyang Alliance as a branch of Tian Dao Meng, and continued to be revered as a spiritual leader even after his withdrawal from the underworld. Many prominent figures from both political and underworld circles, including leaders from Hong Kong and the Philippines, paid their respects. The funeral service, organized by key figures from both organizations, includes a private ceremony followed by a public one, with nearly 700 police officers on standby to ensure security due to the expected large turnout of attendees from various factions.
