I am in the whirl of time and space, traveling back and forth. What I can see and hear is the present; what we do and what I feel is no more than karma from the foretime.

 

Having witnessed civilians being oppressed, four young Taiwanese lawyers joined forces to form a team of defense attorneys. Over the past three years, while Taiwan was undergoing a major change, these attorneys kept their focus on serving the public through the several cases they had taken on. 
They fought for the rights of older workers in a lawsuit between a group of displaced workers and the government. They were also involved in the efforts to subvert the military trial system as well as in the Sunflower Movement, where students occupied the legislative chamber. (by Taiwan Docs)

《進擊之路》向人權律師致上最高敬意，紀錄了台灣民眾最充滿無力感的那些年。以四名青年律師為首的義務律師團，投入工人與政府的官司，推翻軍事審判制度，並很快投入學生佔領國會的反自由貿易運動。那是一個下雨的年代，他們為弱勢者打傘。當民眾遭壓迫，律師以反抗者的姿態，迎戰國家行政、立法、司法的不正義。在全球民主化浪潮中，台灣是耀眼新星；卻在過去幾年獨裁進化、民主倒退！此時，時代再次選擇義務律師團，扮演促進台灣民主進展的重要角色。

Factories (NAWCF)

Since 1996, due to an offshore migration of industry, many textile and clothing factories shut down malignantly.

2012 – Broadcast of Les Misérables

Les Misérables, is a French historical novel written by Victor Hugo in 1862. It was first adapted into a French musical. It had played at the Palais des Sports in Paris for three months. Afterward, the musical was adapted into a British version, which began to become popular and has been playing in London since 1985. The film, Les Misérables, is adapted from the British musical and premiered in Taiwan on February 8, 2013.

 

2013 – Death of Hung Chung-chiu

Hung was going to finish military service on July 6, 2013, but died on 4 of July due to heat stroke and heat exhaustion during a drill. This case involves the issues of human rights in the military and whether the High Military Court has exclusive jurisdiction. Since it is an obligation for every Taiwanese man to serve in mandatory military service, the case causes a great deal of concern. The white-clad protest was made for the reform of the military and pushed for the human rights in the military. Interestingly, the representative song of the movement, Lí kám ū thiann-tioh Lán-ê Kua, composed by Dr. Yi-cheng Wu, is adapted from the revolutionary song “Do you Hear the People Sing?” in Les Misérables with Taiwanese lyrics.

 

2014 – Sunflower Student Movement

The Sunflower Student Movement, which is also known as March 18 Student Movement and Occupy Taiwan Legislature, was made since the legislator passed the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement (CSSTA) in the afternoon of 17 March 2014, without reviewing clause-by-clause. Therefore, from 18 March 2014 to 10 April 2014, Taiwanese college students, civic groups, and other citizens gather together and occupy the Taiwanese legislative chamber to call for supporting the establishment of a law for supervising the procedure of reviewing the agreement.

我在時空旅行，穿梭於過去與現在。我所看到、聽到的，能在我眼前被觸及；我們所做的、我所感受的，卻又距離我如此久遠。

 

 

1990年代的臺灣

除了臺灣本土作者開始活躍，撰寫社會議題及哲學相關的叢書外，各出版社也相繼重新翻譯出版國外重要著作，像是卡繆的《異鄉人》、西耶斯的《論特權》等。

 

1996至2013，全國關廠工人連線抗爭事件

1996年左右，因為產業外移，許多紡織、製衣廠惡性倒閉，導致員工退休金與資遣費問題都求助無門。後來數家關廠失業勞工組成「全國關廠工人連線」陸續進行了一系列的抗爭活動，直至2014年3月。

 

2002 鄭性澤案

地點發生在臺中豐原的KTV。鄭性澤被指控槍殺員警，被判死刑。不過監察院認為此案例的審查過程以及證據都存有重大瑕疵。

 

2012《悲慘世界》上映

2013年2月8日，改編自英國歌舞劇版本的電影《悲慘世界》於臺灣上映。雨果的原著小說改編為歌舞劇後，1980年只在巴黎的Palais des Sports演出3個月，隨後此作品受到英國人的青睞而改成英語版本，自1985年於倫敦演出至今。

 

2013 洪仲丘事件

洪仲丘原預定於2013年7月6日退伍，卻在7月4日執行操練時，因為中暑、熱衰竭而死亡。洪案涉及軍中人權、軍事檢察署是否具專屬管轄權等新聞議題。由於兵役當時是臺灣男性必須履行的義務，此議題深入各個家庭，引起臺灣社會高度關注，故發生要求軍隊社會化的「白衫軍運動」。有趣的是，象徵「白衫軍運動」的臺語歌曲《你敢有聽著咱的歌》，即是吳易澄醫師自悲慘世界的「Do You Hear the People Sing?」填入臺語歌詞的創作。

 

2014 太陽花學運

又稱318學運、佔領國會事件。3月17日下午內政委員會中，一位立法委員以30秒時間宣布完成《海峽兩岸服務貿易協議》的委員會審查，故於3月18日至4月10日間，臺灣部分大學生、公民團體及一般民眾共同佔領中華民國國會立法院的社會運動事件。

 

2014至今

如果說，人可以影響人、國家可以影響國家，群體是否也能影響不同群體呢？這種影響又能持續多久？
