President Chen narrowly won the election over Lien Chan.

In the 2000 Presidential Election on Taiwan, the Kuomintang produced a letter from her in which she purportedly supported the KMT candidate Lien Chan over independent candidate James Soong ( no relation ).

** Lien Chan is named by Lee Teng-Hui to succeed Hau Pei-tsun as Premier of the Republic of China.

Lien Chan refuses to concede and demands a recount.

DPP candidate Chen Shui-bian won a three way race that saw the Pan-Blue vote split by independent James Soong ( formerly of the Kuomintang ) and Kuomintang candidate Lien Chan.

In the 2004 presidential election, Lien Chan proposed a confederation-style relationship ( though he later moderated his stance amid a tight race ).

The subsequent appointment of the first native Taiwanese premier Lien Chan was taken as a sign of Lee's consolidation of power.

In April 2005, the Communist Party of China ( CPC ) general secretary Hu Jintao and the former ROC Vice President and then chairman of the Kuomintang party ( KMT ) Lien Chan shook hands.

They included people ranging from academics like Chien Mu, reputed to be the last prominent Chinese intellectual opposing the conventional wisdom take on the May Fourth Movement, politicians like Lien Chan, from a family with a long history of active pan-Chinese patriotism despite being native Taiwanese, to gang mobsters like Chang An-le, a leader of the notorious United Bamboo Gang.

His opponent Lien Chan publicly supported a policy of " one China, different interpretations ," as done in 1992.

At the end of the 2004 election, Lien Chan and his running mate, James Soong, later announced that they would not put ultimate unification as the goal for their cross-strait policy and would not exclude the possibility of an independent Taiwan in the future.

In April and May 2005, Lien Chan and James Soong made separate trips to Mainland China, during which both explicitly supported the Consensus of 1992 and the concept of one China and in which both explicitly stated their parties ' opposition to Taiwan independence.

On April 28, 2008, Honorary Chairman Lien Chan of the then opposition Kuomintang visited Beijing and met with Hu Jintao for the fourth time since their historic encounter on April 29, 2005 in their respective capacity as party leaders of both the Chinese Communist Party and the KMT.

During the 2000 presidential election, Lee Teng-hui arranged for Lien Chan to be nominated as Kuomintang candidate for president rather than the more popular James Soong, who bolted from the party and formed his own People First Party after both he and Lien were defeated by Chen Shui-bian in the presidential elections.

The KMT and PFP ran a combined ticket in the 2004 presidential elections with Lien Chan running for president and James Soong running for vice president.

He placed second in the 2000 presidential election ; his independent candidacy split the pro-Chinese reunification vote between himself and the KMT candidate Lien Chan leading to the ascendency of Democratic Progressive Party candidate Chen Shui-bian.

In the 2004 presidential election, he ran as vice president on the ticket of KMT chairman Lien Chan ; they narrowly lost to Chen Shui-bian.

After Premier Lien Chan was elected vice president in 1996, the premiership was to be vacated.

After losing the KMT presidential nomination to then-vice president Lien Chan, Soong ran as an independent in the 2000 Presidential elections.

One common belief from the pro-blue camp in Taiwan is that Lee Teng-hui favored the unpopular Vice President Lien Chan over the highly popular Soong in a deliberate effort to sabotage the Kuomintang and was secretly supporting Chen, despite the fact that Lee is supposed to favor Kuomintang's own nominee Lien.

They succeeded in pressuring Lee Teng-hui to resign as KMT Chairman in favor of Lien Chan.

KMT Chairman Lien Chan claimed the KMT was misled into filing the lawsuit against Soong.

After all 13, 749 polling places had reported, Lien appeared before his campaign headquarters and demanded a recount calling the vote " unfair ".

* If the law is passed, the President agrees to have the recount as soon as possible and expects Lien to acknowledge the results from the recount.

After 17: 30, Lien held a press conference, and listed the five points of compromise settled upon by the two parties following the conference:

On the morning of April 28, Lien left Nanjing for Beijing.

Mu Bai is also a good friend of Yu Shu Lien ( Michelle Yeoh ), a female warrior.

Mu Bai and Shu Lien have developed feelings for each other, but they have never acknowledged or acted on them.

At Sir Te's estate, Shu Lien meets Jen ( Zhang Ziyi ), the daughter of Governor Yu ( Fa Zeng Li ), a visiting Manchu aristocrat.

Mu Bai and Shu Lien trace the theft to Governor Yu's compound and learn that Jade Fox has been posing as Jen's governess for many years.

Nearby, Shu Lien and Mu Bai convince Lo to wait for Jen at Wudan Mountain, where he will be safe from Jen's family, who are furious with him.

Jen visits Shu Lien, who tells her that Lo is waiting for her at Wudang Mountain.

Wielding the Green Destiny, Jen destroys each weapon that Shu Lien wields until losing to a broken sword held at her neck.

When Shu Lien shows mercy and lowers the sword, Jen slashes Shu Lien's arm.

Fox puts Jen into a drugged sleep and places her in a cavern ; Mu Bai and Shu Lien discover her there.

With his last breaths, he finally confesses his love for Shu Lien.

Finally, there is Shu Lien.
