With the holiday to commemorate the February 28 incident creating a long weekend this year, the zoo had planned to open its gates with free admission on all three days, so as to allow students from across the island to visit the ailing Lin Wang. His sudden passing caught the zoo by surprise.
動物園原訂二二八連續三天假期免費開放，讓全台學生到動物園探訪健康欠佳的林旺，想不到牠卻突然走了。
