The Kaohsiung Incident of 1979-1980 disturbed Taiwan’s dictatorship and ultimately contributed to Taiwan’s democratization. This book analyzes the precursors to the Kaohsiung Incident, the Kaohsiung Incident itself, the following trials and the contributions of these events to Taiwan’s democratization. After the indictments were issued, the murder of the mother and twin daughters of Lin I-hsiung, one of the defendants, shocked Taiwan and the world. The government accused the author, a well-known scholar of Taiwan, of being involved in the murder case and he was placed under “police protection” for three months. Part 2 of this book is the writer’s memoir of that period.

Sarcopenia and frailty, known as the modern “Giants of Geriatrics”, are two age-related syndromes that have garnered significant attention in the field. Sarcopenia is characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and loss of muscle function. While frailty is a clinical condition characterized by an excessive vulnerability of the individual to endogenous and exogenous stressors. Both syndromes are considered strong predictors of morbidity, disability, and mortality in older adults, and their prevalence varies across different regions and diagnostic tools.

Kaohsiung, perched on Taiwan's southern coast, is "real Taiwan." Kaohsiung is a lot less internationalized and modernized than Taipei -- and that's its charm. The food, especially seafood, is amazing. The temples, night markets, and small restaurants tend to be just quirkier than Taipei's. And the crosswalk signs are creative moving cartoons. Kaohsiung was Taiwan's rust belt a few decades ago, but now is emerging as a hub of culture, art, and technology. The Kaohsiung Experience is the local Kaohsiung. Night markets will be the start of our food explorations, but definitely not the end. I'll show you a hidden suspension bridge, urban wetlands, late-night desserts, a half-abandoned skyscraper, and, of course, lots of ferries and boat rides. We'll also get the dead skin shaved off your feet, visit a secret cafe in a sake shop, and hit up a seafood market (and sushi restaurant) that give Tokyo a serious run for its money. This is Kaohsiung. It's so worth discovering. Everything has a map link and a QR code, so you can navigate Kaohsiung like a local, or better. Get ready. Charge your smartphone and lace up your walking shoes. You're about to get The Kaohsiung Experience.
