Lin Jing-Juang

Every kindergarten teacher has to have a patient, caring, and loving heart for children. And the most revered one can sacrifice for children. Who can be the one? Who has such venerable character to be the one?

Lin Jing-Juan worked as a kindergarten teacher in Taipei City Jian-Kang Kindergarten. She loved children dearly like many other kindergarten teachers did.

The kindergarten scheduled a field trip to "Leofoo-Village Theme Park" on May 15, 1992. Unfortunately, the old power had a short circuit, and had caught fire and explosion as a result of electric wire sparking. The passengers included kindergarten teachers, children, and the children's parents, who escaped in panic immediately. Lin Jing-Juan had gotten away successfully, but she worried about the safety of the students, then chose to return to the scene at that moment, on and off constantly and courageously rescued students to flee the scene, wanting to save the children's life. But the end result of the fire was too large, the only thing she could do is to hold the students in her arms. Four students died in her arms and Lin Jing-Juan died in the end.

Lin Jing-Juan's love has moved the society, Memorial Foundation was established, then erected a statue of her.
