Title of Thesis: The Study on the Legislative Privileges for Legislator—Case Studies of the Privileges of the Speech and the Freedom from Arrest
Student: Hsy-Liang Lin Advisor: Prof. Chun-Chen Chi
Abstract:
The privilege of speech or debate and the privilege of freedom from arrest are the design of ensuring legislative who represent the opinions of nationals to accomplish the task that the Constitution endows everyone with. The two privileges both protect the freedom of discussion and voting in Congress, restrain the components of Congress from being illegally interfered and maintain the personal freedom of legislative.
Above all, they prevent other governmental power or the third person from using inappropriate means to hinder or violate the operation of the Congress.
The Congress is a stage where the opinions of nationals are assembled and expressed. In order to make political opinions become effective regulations, legislative must employ their power based on their conscience and freedom. Through such constant efforts, the representative system can earn people’s complete trust. Therefore, the Congress should be able to comprehensively start its sessions at anytime and the discussion and voting will not be interfered with any external power.
The privilege of speech or debate and the privilege of freedom from arrest are parts of the tradition of the Congress law during the time of the constitutional monarchy. Even though the opposite or hostile conditions between monarchy and the Congress do not exist in today’s democratic constitutional government, the two privileges are still retained in most countries.
The purpose of this research is aimed to explore the protection and restrictions of the design of the two privileges on lawmakers; meanwhile, using Congress self-discipline system to examine the Congress behaviors is also investigated. Furthermore, this study focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of the design of the two rights and provides suggestions as a reference for future operation of the Congress.

Hu Jingcao on Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin
No full textIn October, CCTV’s high-definition channel broadcast a new six-hour, eight-episode documentary on the famous husband-and-wife duo Liang Sicheng (梁思成, 1901-1972) and Lin Huiyin (林徽因, 1904-1955). Liang is renowned as a pioneering architectural historian, Lin as a writer, but their presence in China’s historical consciousness defies easy categorization. Both came from prominent families (Sicheng’s father was Liang Qichao, the scholar and reformer of the late Qing and early Republican period) and they left multifaceted legacies (their son, the noted environmentalist Liang Congjie, died in Beijing on October 28; American artist Maya Lin is Huiyin’s niece.)
Titled “Liang Sicheng Lin Huiyin,” the documentary was directed by Hu Jingcao (胡劲草), a 42-year-old video journalist. Like her subjects, Hu (who spent the 2000-01 academic year as a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University) seems compelled to cross cultural and national boundaries. She previously made “You Tong” (幼童), an account of the 120 boys sent by Qing officials to study in the United States in the 1870s. Like that documentary, this new work draws extensively on previously unexplored materials from both the United States (where Liang and Lin studied for several years) and China, as well as Japan. It tells much of their story through the lens of their long and close friendship with John King Fairbank and Wilma Fairbank. Their photographs and their voluminous correspondence are drawn on extensively, along with interviews of their children (Holly Fairbank and Liang Zaibing as well as Liang Congjie) and many other people who knew them. The documentary’s official site has all eight episodes available for viewing; this page has an index of YouTube links for all the episodes, most in high-definition

Threatened fishes of the world: Tanichthys albonubes Lin 1932 (Cyprinidae)
No full textThe white cloud mountain minnow Tanichthys albonubes Lin is an endemic species to southern China and the genus has two species, Tanichthys albonubes Lin and Tanichthys micagemmae Freyhof et Herder. The distribution range of T. albonubes Lin and T. micagemmae is very narrow and only found in the mountain brooks of Baiyunshan Mountain (White Cloud Mountain), Huaxian Country and the vicinity of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province and Halong, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam respectively. The wild populations of this fish had already been on the verge of extinction when Shu-Yan Lin first discovered it in 1932 at the Baiyunshan Mountain. It was believed to be extinct in the wild because there were no reports of this fish in the wild since 1980. In September 2003, a small and isolated population of the fish was discovered in a mountain puddle in the north vicinity of Guangzhou. Additional studies are needed to determine the survival and propagation of the released fish. The protection of their natural habitat should be implemented.The white cloud mountain minnow Tanichthys albonubes Lin is an endemic species to southern China and the genus has two species, Tanichthys albonubes Lin and Tanichthys micagemmae Freyhof et Herder.
