(Hey, it's Sharon Lin, formerly a host at Radio Taiwan International. I moved on to a new chapter in 2024 but my old shows would still be available here.) On That's Debatable, we will be talking about debatable topics of all shapes and sizes, exchanging ideas, and having conversations about what some might deem too “controversial”or "too much" to talk about, for whatever reasons. We will talk about them! We're here to open up the conversation, bust some stereotypes, invite diverse input, and encourage one another to expand our understanding.

12 years in jail for being innocent ft. Fred Him-San Chin

Just imagine, you, at the age of 18, getting tricked and abducted, tortured, and then sentenced to 12 years in jail for being innocent. This is the true story of my guest today, Fred Him-San Chin (陳欽生). Fred's one of the many political victims of the White Terror period in Taiwan. You have to know Fred's story.

In 2023, Fred published his book Facing the calamity：a step through hurts and hardship and look beyond for generations to come where he details his real-life experiences during the White Terror. I got to know more of Fred through this book and I highly recommend the book to you.

Also, I highly recommend you to go listen to a previous episode on my other show, Come Along, where I introduced Taiwan's National Human Rights Museum to learn more of the historic background.
