Hung Hsiu-chu (; born 7 April 1948) is a politician in Taiwan, Republic of China (ROC). She has served as Vice President of the Legislative Yuan since 1 February 2012, and is a former Deputy Chairperson and Deputy Secretary-General of Kuomintang (KMT). Having a political background in the field of education, she has focused much of legislative tenure on the quality of, and access to, higher education in Taiwan. The Kuomintang nominated Hung as the party's presidential candidate for the 2016 elections in July 2015, a month after she had won the party's presidential primary. Her public support subsequently dropped, and she was replaced as candidate by KMT Chairman Eric Chu. ==Family background== Hung was born in Taipei County (now New Taipei City), Taiwan. Her father, Hung Zi-yu (), was a victim of political prosecution during the White Terror in Taiwan.〔 He worked for the government Monopoly Bureau in mainland China prior to 1946. In February 1946, he moved to Taiwan with the Nationalist Government and became deputy manager of a sugar factory under the Taiwan Sugar Corporation. After the February 28 Incident, the general manager of Taiwan Sugar was accused of (and later executed for) being an agent of the Communist Party in 1950, and Hung's father was implicated in the case. While he was eventually acquitted on that charge, the court sentenced him to three years and three months imprisonment at the offshore Green Island prison for political and moral 'reeducation.' Following his release from prison, he failed to find formal employment for the ensuing 40 years, and the family was in financial straits, with Hung's father doing random ghostwriting services for elderly legislators and her mother working at a factory. Hung recalled, "I remember that the police visited our house frequently when I was a child. My parents sometimes frightened the children by saying that the police will visit if we misbehaved." But her father never dwelt on the past in front of the children: "although my father had resentments toward the authorities, regrets within his heart, and guilt for the family and children, he never expressed those feelings. I only heard him complain once to my mother, 'Haven't the KMT hurt us enough?'" Even with the family in a poor financial status after his release from prison, Hung's father was still hospitable to his friends and often invited them over for dinner and conversation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hung Hsiu-chu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
