The Lin House Massacre occurred on February 28, 1980. At that time, Lin Yixiong's mother and twin young daughters, a family member of the Formosa Island Incident inmate, were assassinated at home. The eldest daughter Lin Huanjun was seriously injured. It is still an unsolved case in Taiwan's history.
When veteran musician Luo Dayou recently spoke in an exclusive interview about the "Lin Mansion Murder Case" in Taiwan's historical past, he made an astonishing claim that "it was definitely not Chiang Ching-kuo's fault." He also speculated that the Carter administration and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the United States planned the assassination in order to eliminate Taiwan's voice, triggering a public outcry. Later, netizens discovered that he had disclosed that he was the doctor on duty at the emergency room of Renai Hospital on the day of the incident and witnessed Lin Yixiong's daughter Lin Huanjun being seriously injured being pushed into the emergency room. He also admitted that the case had frightened and traumatized Taiwanese society.
Yesterday, Luo Dayou talked about the Formosa Incident and the Lin Residence Murder Case from the classic song "Orphans of Asia" in the "UFO Breakfast" program hosted by Tang Xianglong. He claimed that no one was killed or seriously injured in the Formosa incident and that the murderer broke into Lin Yixiong's house and killed him. The grandmother and her twin girls "could never do it in the Chinese community," and based on the situation between the United States and the Soviet Union and the atmosphere of severance of diplomatic relations, they inferred that the CIA was responsible for suppressing dissent in Taiwan. She said, "It was definitely not Chiang Ching-kuo's doing." His remarks triggered cross-border criticism.
Later, some netizens found records of Luo Dayou's conversation with writer Long Yingtai many years ago. Luo Dayou recalled at the time that on the day of the incident on February 28, 1980, when the seriously injured Lin Huanjun was sent to Renai Hospital for emergency treatment, he happened to be on duty in the emergency room. He witnessed the door being knocked open, multiple police officers pushing the girl into the operating room, and the phone ringing constantly and people crowding the corridor.
Luo Dayou lamented at the time that the Lin family murder case was the murder case that Taiwanese people most wanted to forget but could not forget. Until more than a year later, he could not calm down. Later, he wrote an article in "Yesterday's Suicide Note" to explain the incident and his mood, "I think this is no longer a matter of killing people without blinking an eye. It is a case that no one can accept and attack a person who is completely defenseless. Not any murderer can do it. However, it has become an unsolved case."
In this exclusive interview, Luo Dayou also talked about how those in power shape right and wrong under authoritarian rule, and said that he secretly listened to speeches outside the party in his early years. It was not until he met Shi Mingde many years later that he sincerely admired his consistent character. However, now that the Lin family murder case is blamed on the US intelligence unit, the former interview has once again caused netizens to ridicule: "Luo Dayou, how could you forget it after seeing it?", "It has a great impact on him, that is, he must learn not to oppose the party and not to be a non-party person. Be an obedient person." "He has not forgotten, he just now thinks that it was the American CIA." "He has not forgotten, but he has taken a warning: obey the party-state." "He has not forgotten, but what he has learned is that this is a conspiracy of the American CIA, and then he should not resist the Chinese Kuomintang."
