Former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) also paid his respects to Hsu on Friday morning. For the first time, he took a friend's car as he no longer had an official government car or police vehicle to escort him, Liberty Times reported.
KMT Central Standing Committee member Lian Shengwen (連勝文) attended the service before noon. Meanwhile, KMT Chairman Chiang Chi-chen (江啟臣), Secretary-General Li Chien-lung (李乾龍), and Deputy Mayor Li Sih-chuan (李四川) arrived in the evening.
The memorial was organized by the KMT parliamentary group and involved more than 300 LED screens set up to form one giant monitor at the Kaohsiung municipal funeral hall. A slide show entitled “Respect and Love Forever, Speaker Hsu” was played, which shared pictures and videos of Hsu interacting with politicians and dignitaries.
Everyone silently walked into the hall. Altogether, more than 300 people sat on the floor, each holding a white flower. [FULL STORY]
