Freddy Lim is not your typical Taiwanese politician: The 40 year old is a death
metal rocker who last year co-founded a political party and won election in
January to Taiwan's parliament.

林昶佐是位40歲的死亡金屬樂手，這個非典型的政治人物在去年一月的台灣國會
議員的選舉中當選。


The ponytailed and tattooed Lim, frontman for his band Chthonic, which formed
in 1996, flew into New York last week to attend a rally in hopes of using his
starpower to bring international attention to Taiwan's exclusion from the
United Nations (U.N.).

綁著長馬尾與一身刺青的林，是1996年成立的閃靈樂團的主唱，在上周前往紐約參加
台灣入聯遊行，希望用他的知名度讓台灣入聯的議題可以被國際關注到。

Strengthening his imperative, Lim said, was the election of Taiwan's first
female president, Tsai Ing-wen of the the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
Tsai's party has historically favored independence from China, which views
Taiwan as a breakaway province that must someday be reunited.

林說，台灣在上次選舉中選出了台灣第一位女總統-蔡英文，這位總統所屬政黨的政治立場
傾向為將台灣從中國獨立出來。

"The result of the election earlier this year means a lot to the Taiwanese
community and the whole world, that people of Taiwan want changes and
especially want equal participation rights in the international community," Lim
told NBC News at a rally this past weekend in Times Square.

林在時代廣場上說道:
"今年選舉的結果代表台灣社會期待改變，尤其是台灣對於國際組織的平等參與權。"


On Saturday, more than 100 demonstrators marched from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, a
park near the U.N., to an area penned in by metal police barricades on Seventh
Avenue near 42nd Street to call for Taiwan's entry into the U.N., Jenny Wang,
one of the organizers, told NBC News.

上星期六，100多位群眾從 Hammarskjold廣場遊行到UN總部附近，呼籲聯合國讓台灣加入

The United Nations Membership for Taiwan March and Rally has been held annually
for more than 20 years, organizers said, usually timed to coincide with the
start of the General Assembly. Taiwan has not been represented in the U.N.
since 1971, a sore spot for many of the island's 23 million people and also for
Taiwanese Americans.

台灣入聯遊行活動已經有20年的歷史，主辦者表示自從1971年台灣被踢出聯合國，
一直都是台灣人的心中的遺憾。


At this year's event, Lim joined a Tibetan activist, a former Chinese prisoner,
and a former ambassador to Taiwan from the Dominican Republic, according to the
event's organizers, in addressing the crowd from a makeshift stage, making the
case for Taiwan's inclusion in the U.N.

今年也有一位曾被中國囚禁的西藏政治運動家前來聲援台灣入聯運動。

"We hope all our friends around the world keep supporting Taiwan to finish our
journey to freedom," Lim told attendees, who cheered and waved blue "UN for
Taiwan" flags.

她說
"我們希望世界各地的朋友都能以自由民主的價值支持台灣加入聯合國。"


Wang, a 25-year-old born in the United States, said her parents told her she
had attended the U.N. rallies when she was younger, though her first memory was
when she was a senior in college. She said she was shocked to learn in college
that Taiwan wasn't in the U.N.

她是王小姐，一位25年前出生於美國的台僑，他的父母在她還小時就開始支持台灣入聯遊行
運動，她表示上大學後發現台灣不是聯合國的會員讓她十分震驚。


"I was very moved by a lot of the older generation here, pushing forward this
event, talking to bystanders in broken English, still fighting this fight,"
Wang said. "I was so moved and so touched, and I realized that it's our
responsibility as Taiwanese Americans to be that bridging figure."

王:
"我被這些參與入聯遊行許久的長輩感動，即使英文不好，他們也一直持續地向別人
述說這個理念，這讓我了解到身為一個台僑子女，我有責任接下這份重擔

Wang said Taiwanese identity also drives participation in the rally.

王表示，台灣的認同感讓他更積極的參與這項運動

"When we were growing up, our parents told us that we're Taiwanese American and
never to say you're Chinese," Wang said.
"我們長大之後，我的父母告訴我，我是台裔美國人，而不是中國人"


Identity matters to many Taiwanese, including those wary of closer ties between
Taiwan and China. That wariness has grown in the last eight years as former
President Ma Ying-jeou of the Nationalist Party signed more than 20 trade pacts
with China.

這份台灣的認同感讓台灣更需要警惕與中國的關係，在過去八年，前總統馬英九與
中國簽訂了20多項貿易協定。


Ma's party, which fled China for Taiwan in 1949 amid a civil war, has
historically favored reunification with the mainland.

馬英九的政黨在1949年戰敗後逃來台灣，一向被認為主張與中國統一。

legislators tried passing a cross-strait trade services agreement that many
Taiwanese feared would bring the island and China even closer. Later dubbed the
Sunflower Movement, Taiwanese youth, many of them college students, stormed the
parliament in protest, holing themselves up inside for nearly a month.



Borcheng Hsu, who's been attending U.N. rallies since high school, stressed the
importance of engaging youth.

他是Borcheng Hsu，從高中時就開始參與入聯遊行。


"We know that this is a long-term movement," Hsu, 40, told NBC News. "It's
always key that the younger generation appreciate or know the cause that their
parents and grandparents fight for."
"我們了解這是一場長期的抗爭"，Borcheng Hsu這樣對我們的記者說道:"關鍵在於讓更多
年輕台僑了解它們的長輩長期奮鬥的目標。"

Taiwan's entry into the U.N. is a thorny issue that some worry could unsettle
relations with China, Taiwan, and the U.S. Less than a half year in office,
Tsai did not apply for membership this year, pressing instead for "meaningful
participation" with U.N.-related agencies, according to the Taipei Times.
台灣入聯是一個棘手的議題，人們擔心此舉會擾亂中國與台灣、美國之間的關係，
不過根據TAPEI TIMES報導，今年蔡總統並沒有申請加入聯合國，而是著重與參與聯合國
相關組織。

China has repeatedly blocked Taiwan's efforts to join the U.N., arguing it
isn't a sovereign nation.
中國一再阻止台灣的加入聯合國，認為它不是一個主權獨立的國家。

Lim, the rock star turned legislator who cofounded the New Power Party, said
he's optimistic Taiwan will someday make it back into the international
organization.

時代力量的創黨元老林昶佐表示，他對於台灣未來加入聯合國組織是採樂觀的態度。


"We have to make friends all around the world," he said. "We have to be ready
when the opportunity comes."

"我們必須與更多國家保持友好關係，當機會來臨前一定要做好準備"
