The Unsung Heroes of the Changhua Plain: A Brief Introduction -

Yu Mao-hsiung (1944-)


As a spinning top expert, Yu used satirized supporters of indirect presidential elections by spinning a 40 kg spinning top left and right. He was also a strict critic of Taiwan’s agricultural policies, and frequently led hundreds of tenant farmers to the Legislative Yuan to fight for an amendment of the 37.5% Arable Rent Reduction Act.
