Liang Su-yung Chinese: 梁肅戎; 8 August 1920 – 27 August 2004) was a Taiwanese politician who served in the first Legislative Yuan from 1948 to 1991. He was elevated to vice president of the parliament in 1988, and retired in 1991 as its leader. Prior to his political career, he worked as a human rights lawyer.[1]
Career
Born in Changtu County in 1920, Liang obtained an LLD and SJD from Japan's Meiji University. He served in the Second Sino-Japanese War as an intelligence operative based in northeastern China. Liang was taken as a Japanese prisoner of war in 1944, and released upon Japanese surrender.[2]
Liang was involved in a fight on the floor of the Legislative Yuan in 1991. It began when Democratic Progressive Party legislator Chang Chun-hsiung hit Liang in the face, causing Liang to respond in kind.[3] Liang was also injured by a glass thrown by Ju Gau-jeng.[4]
After his retirement from politics, Liang became president of the Straits Peaceful Reunification Association.[5] Personally, he continually pushed for Chinese unification,[6] opposed Lee Teng-hui's policy of Taiwanization,[7] and repeatedly attempted to expel Lee from the Kuomintang.[8]
Liang died of anaphylactic shock caused by pneumonia at Cathay General Hospital in Taipei on 27 August 2004, at the age of 84.[2][9]
