The end of March has brought a significant number of notable figures from various fields who have left us forever, each with a unique story and contribution to their respective domains.
On March 28, 2026, we lost Lin Yuan-lang, an 85-year-old Taiwanese politician known for his leadership as the magistrate of Nantou County from 1989 to 1997. His commitment to public service has inspired many in Taiwan.
