He moved to Taiwan at the end of April this year because of concerns about the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Regulations.
Lin Rongji is preparing to reopen the "Causeway Bay Bookstore" in Taiwan. I am in Taiwan, but the effects of being "disappeared" are still lingering 4 years ago. I still dream of my experience and be awakened.
In an interview with The New York Times, Lin Rongji said that he would still dream of the "missing" incident 4 years ago: "I once screamed aloud, and I woke up."
He said that he was more nervous in Hong Kong, and some situations were suppressed. He went to Taiwan and was very relaxed. After that experience, he reappeared through dreams.
Authors of anti-revision books are mostly published in Taiwan
Regarding the revision of the Fugitive Offenders Regulations, Lin Rongji pointed out that it has an impact on the publishing industry. He said that if publishing houses in Taiwan want to cooperate with the mainland, if some books would affect the mainland, publishing houses would not dare to publish them.
As for books related to amendments, Lam said that although there are many related books in Hong Kong, many are published in Taiwan and the authors are mainly Hong Kong people. Although there are many scholars studying events now, Lin Rongji pointed out that it takes time to conduct in-depth research before it can truly explore, and it may take two or three years to achieve results.
In recent months, there have been many demonstrations in Hong Kong. Lin Rongji hopes that young people will know that "when coming out to fight, the most important thing is to defend yourself first. If you find it dangerous, you cannot stay in Hong Kong and you leave Hong Kong first."
