When Chen Shui-bian 陳水扁 began his university studies in 1969, gifted student though he was, few could have imagined he would become Taiwan’s first non-KMT president. The young Chen had no political plans – he wanted to study business and make money for his impoverished family in rural Tainan. One day during his first semester, he heard a speech by an independent candidate who publicly criticized the autocratic rule of the KMT. Chen was fascinated. Listen to this week’s story to learn how Chen changed majors, and despite being called “boring” by a few young women he liked, eventually wed Wu Shu-chen 吳淑珍, the daughter of a wealthy Tainan doctor. Plus, Chen’s involvement in the Kaohsiung Incident of 1979, a turning point for the democracy movement and for Chen. And we end with Chen’s first stint in prison; not the more recent sentences for corruption, but in the mid-1980s for libel.
