Exclusive report on June 26, 2024, at 4:20 am, screen capture, by Reporter Zhang Shi-yi/Comprehensive Report. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall has always been an important historical landmark and tourist attraction in Taiwan, but its significance and symbolism have sparked different views and controversies in society. In response to various expectations regarding the memorial hall's functions and meanings, the government proposed a transformation plan to make the hall a place reflecting modern values and multiculturalism. Gou Li-xiong explained the background and significance of this withdrawal: Coexistence of history and modernity - the withdrawal of the three military drill teams from the main hall is an important step in the hall's transformation to better reflect the diverse values of modern society, promoting social reconciliation and inclusivity. New arrangements for the drill teams - although the drill teams will no longer be stationed at the main hall, they will continue to hold important ceremonies and commemorative activities within the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall area to ensure the continuation of historical rituals. Future plans - Gou Li-xiong mentioned that there will be more specific measures and plans regarding the transformation of the memorial hall in the future, and the public will be invited to participate in discussions to jointly decide on the future direction of the hall. This announcement immediately sparked extensive discussions and different reactions in society: Supporters see it as a significant step forward in resolving historical disputes and promoting social harmony, while opponents believe that the withdrawal of the drill teams will weaken the solemnity and historical significance of the memorial hall. Neutral observers suggest further observing the effects of the transformation measures before making conclusions. Facing the different reactions, the government assures to continue listening to all opinions, ensuring the transparency and fairness of the transformation process, seeking the widest consensus. The Ministry of Culture also plans to launch a series of public consultation activities to gather more public opinions and make the transformation plan more in line with social expectations. Historians point out that the transformation of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a complex and sensitive process that needs to balance historical facts and modern values.
