Led by 25-year-old Lin Fei-Fan and 24-year-old Chen Wei-ting, protesters known as the Sunflower Movement survived early eviction attempts and have organised a peaceful occupation in the legislature building, complete with recycling bins and cameras broadcasting a live feed on Ustream.
Taking to Reddit, protest leaders laid out their objections to the trade deal, balancing cost-benefit figures of local GDP against economic and social independence from China, and registering general dissatisfaction with the government.
"You guys are so brave," says one Redditt user. "I'm a student and I couldn't even imagine overtaking a Taco Bell." Protestor Oliver Chen replies, "Ask most of us here a couple of months ago, and we would have probably said the same."
"But one day you realize that if you aren't willing to stand up for your country now, there might never be another chance. That's a pretty sobering thought."
由25歲的林飛帆和24歲的陳為廷所領導，太陽花學運在先前遭政府嘗試驅離後，仍持續進行和平占領國會的行動。抗爭者還利用資源回收桶及照相機在Ustream(註1)上做現場直播。
學運領導者讓議題延燒至Reddit，在此社群上闡述了他們反對服貿的理由；權衡分析該協議對台灣GDP帶來的成本效益及與中國在經濟、社會上獨立造成的影響；並且表達人民對政府的普遍不滿。
“你們真的很勇敢，”一名Reddit使用者評論。“我也是一個學生，但我連占領塔可鐘(註2)都不敢想”。抗議學生陳瑞光回應，“如果在幾個月前，我們之中大部分的人可能也會說一樣的話。"
“但有天你意識到，如果你現在不願為你的國家站出來，以後可能再也沒有機會了。這是非常值得深思的問題。“
