To highlight Taiwan's democratic values and freedom of speech, on June 19, 2012, the Taipei City Government's executive meeting passed a resolution to install a signboard reading "Liberty Lane" at the alley located at No. 3, Section 3, Minquan East Road, where Mr. Chen Nan-jung once set himself on fire in the struggle for freedom of speech. Mayor Hau Lung-bin of Taipei City officially unveiled the signboard on August 21, 2012. The Chen Nan-jung Memorial Hall within "Liberty Lane" is the original site of the office of the "Taipei Times" magazine. At the entrance of the memorial hall, there is a bronze statue and large photo of Chen Nan-jung. In the solemn space, there are preserved memorabilia such as personal items and manuscripts of Chen Nan-jung, photos of related activities, and publications of the "Taipei Times" magazine at that time. The memorial hall currently offers scheduled visits. By watching the documentary about Chen Nan-jung and receiving guided tours, visitors can better understand the sacrifices and contributions of this democratic fighter to Taiwan's freedom of speech. Visitors and tourists who come here, in addition to showing respect for the spirit of the predecessors, can also feel the intention of the Taipei City Government to fully protect freedom of speech as a precious asset.
