Why It Matters
The Lin House Massacre occurred on February 28, 1980. Lin Yixiong's eldest surviving daughter Lin Huanjun was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital. Luo Dayou was a surgeon at the time and was on duty in the emergency room. The investigation report released by the Oversight Council in 2023 pointed out that the authoritarian intelligence system headed by the police chief at the time of the incident was involved in six major violations, including intervening in judicial investigations, misleading the direction of the case, obstructing the investigation, manipulating the media, shielding suspects, and using underworld. Key files were concealed or destroyed for a long time. The official investigation conclusion has never pointed the finger at US intelligence units.
Veteran musician Luo Dayou accepted an exclusive interview with a radio program yesterday (10th). When talking about Taiwan's historical unsolved murder case "Lin Mansion Murder", he made an astonishing claim that "Chiang Ching-kuo was definitely not responsible for it." He even inferred that the Carter administration and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the United States planned the assassination in order to eliminate the voice of Taiwan. He said that "Chiang Ching-kuo took the blame." Related remarks immediately triggered a large number of netizens to be dumbfounded and angry.
Yesterday, Luo Dayou talked about the Formosa incident and the Linzhai murder case from the classic song "Orphans of Asia" on the "UFO Breakfast" program hosted by Tang Xianglong. He declared, "Chiang Ching-kuo was not responsible for the Lin Residence murder." No one was killed or seriously injured in the Formosa incident. Why would a crazy professional killer break into Lin Yixiong's home and kill his grandmother and twin girls? He bluntly said, "The Chinese circle will never do this."
He further combined the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and the situation in Iran, saying that in order to eliminate Taiwan's voices protesting against the United States' severance of diplomatic relations and betrayal, the United States created the greatest fear to suppress dissent. He asserted, "I think it was Carter and the CIA in the United States who did it." However, the entire interview did not provide any substantive evidence to support it.
However, the "Lin Zhai Massacre" investigation report released by the Supervisory Yuan in 2023 has already clearly pointed out that the authoritarian intelligence management system headed by the police chief at the time of the incident was involved in six major violations, including intervening in judicial investigations, misleading the direction of the case, obstructing the investigation, manipulating the media, covering up suspects, and using underworld. Key files were also concealed or destroyed for a long time. The official investigation conclusion has never pointed the finger at the US intelligence unit.
After the fan blog "North Korean Defector Ice Wolf" reposted the relevant clip, it triggered a strong backlash from online public opinion. A large number of netizens left comments criticizing: "The interview video of Luo Dayou should be released the most, right? It's ridiculous." "Even the 228 and Linzhai massacres were suspected of being whitewashed by the United States for the Refugee Party. Taiwanese people should wake up on 11/28." He even dared to lie about the death penalty." "I was disgusted by Luo Dayou." "What do you mean no one died?!? The Kuomintang has to kill people to be successful?" "I can't stand it at all, a program that spreads hatred." "This is similar to 8964, which did not kill any students." "I didn't know until today that Luo Dayou never went to school."
It is worth mentioning that Luo Dayou, a former surgeon, revealed in a past interview that when Lin Yixiong's eldest daughter Lin Huanjun was rushed to the hospital when Lin Yixiong was seriously injured and his eldest daughter Lin Huanjun was rushed to the hospital on February 28, 1980, he had revealed that he was on duty in the emergency room. Now he has thrown out the "CIA theory of crime", which has also made people from all walks of life sigh.
