Opinion of LoSheng sanitorium

Lo Sheng sanitorium was established when Taiwan was under the government of Japan.Due to a terrible desease broke out, numerous people worried if there is anyone infected in their village. At that case, the government decided to isolate the patient in Lo Sheng sanitorium, and if there was any person SEEMS to be infected, the person has to be sent to the sanitorium at once. It had seemed to be a good policy, however, many were sent to the sanitorium due to they were probably lepers instead of they were lepers.In fact, many of them were infected in the sanitorium, not their home.
We interviewed an old grandmom, who has lived in Lo Sheng for a long time.She was sent to here when she was 16. In her memory, she just had a fever, and days later, some people came and sent her to Lo Sheng. Now, she has a daughter even many grandchildren.She got merried and gave birth to a baby in Lo Sheng. Her daughter and grandchildren are not lepers, and come to see her quite often.
In the talking, we know Lo Sheng and the patients here more than we knew before(Some even didn't know the place).The sanitorium is actually a villge, and people would help each other when in need. As the MRT construction program, the sanitorium is going to be pulled down, and all of the residents here have to be sent to a hospital nearby, which was recently built. According to them, the hospital is actually a jail. Because many of the residents can't move easily, it's difficult for them to escape if there is a fire takes place.Due to this, plenty of people object to demolish the sanitorium.
In my opinion, for the public benefits, the sanitorium can be demolished ONLY IF the residents are properly settled, and it is the best way to solve the dispute on this event.
