318 OccupyChamber of Sunflower Movement 太陽花運動的第一夜

The night of #OccupyChamber named as 318 of 2014, one small gathering suddenly kick-started a national movement! 

#OccupyCongress佔領立法院: Occupy the Ministry of Legislative Yuan (0318~0424, 2014) against China trade pacts & the authoritarian ruling party KMT 國民黨, known as the kickstarter of the Sunflower Movement was a 24/7 occupy movement, people from everywhere, all walks of life were so willing to share, to play a part, which most of them never thought they could till this happened, even most of them could only stay outside the #OccpyChamber, there were open forums, free food, free medics, free kitchens, free tents, free wifi & charger stations... It's the time of Taiwan Spring, there were moments to be in the right place, to prove that democracy is possible!

中國國民黨主席兼總統馬英九為迎合北京貿然促統,廣納中國因素。終於,在“30秒審服貿"事件點燃台灣人對黑箱政治的反感。以台北為中心的社運圈與學運圈在取得特定政要的默契下首先發難,於2014年3月18日晚間9點衝入國會,佔領了國民黨專政的立法院議場,預計癱瘓週五的服貿表決議程。出乎意料,當夜聲援群眾迅速增多,由各地源源不絕湧向立法院。同時,佔領議場已由不具名的高層"9人決策圈"控制,聲援民眾則被一線糾察配和警力勸阻在院外四周靜坐。一日之後,佔領行動被命名為太陽花學生運動,困守議場內的學生被塑造為主角,隔離外界形成孤島效應。但也因此,激發出了鴿派/鷹派/分進/合擊/切割/摸頭/左/右/統/獨/黨/中/資派... 等群雄奮起,大家都期盼這一股爆發的力量可以改革腐敗政治,而不僅僅是服貿協議。從此,一場共襄盛舉的太陽花運動,開啟了台灣公民運動的道路。
