In the evening on July 2, a book-launch of famous Chinese dissident writer, Yu Jie, was held at the Chu-Ting-Tong LectureHall, located at the Tainan Bookstore of Taiwan Church Press.

It is the first time at Tainan Yu launched his new book, entitled as “Raise Ribes as Torches – Taiwan Democracy Roadmap III”, intending to introduce to the readers 100 democratic sites of Taiwan including previous two roadmap books (I & II) and an imminent sequel of roadmap IV.
