On April 15, Losheng Sanatorium residents and activist groups rallied outside the Executive Yuan and urged for the launch of reconstruction work on the sanatorium's gate. ==LITIEN-PEI Losheng Sanatorium Resident == We hope that a terrace can be built to connect to the back so that we can restore the sanatorium and add some human touch to it just like the old days. ==CHOU FU-TZU Losheng Sanatorium Resident== We have been fighting hard over the past decade. The society is also very concerned about Losheng. Ten years ago, the government proposed to relocate the Xinzhuang Metro depot to Losheng Sanatorium site but was protested by the people. The Executive Yuan, therefore, decided to keep parts of the sanatorium. This year, activist groups launched a campaign to urge for the reconstruction of the sanatorium. ==LIN HSIU-TUNG Spokesperson, Youth Alliance for Losheng== We raised money to run a front page ad campaign on Apple Daily. We hope that the Premier can hear the voice from society. We want Losheng to be rebuilt as soon as possible. Despite a meeting to discuss the reconstruction of Losheng last year, no further action has been taken by the government. Civil groups urged that the government take into account the historical significance of the sanatorium and register it as a World Cultural Heritage site.
