About 15,000 government officials, representatives from all walks of life and foreign dignitaries attended the 1977 Freedom Day Rally at the China Sports and Cultural Activities Center in Taipei. President Yen Chia-kan personally addressed the participants, calling on all the people of our country to mobilize their full strength to support the anti-Communist uprisings of our compatriots on the mainland and thus hasten the destruction of Chinese Communist tyrannical rule.
