Vice President William Lai (賴清德) yesterday presided over the opening of a new apartment building in Tainan to replace the Weiguan Jinlong (維) complex, which collapsed in a deadly earthquake six years ago.

“This day has been a long time,” said Lai, cutting the ceremonial ribbon along with Tainan Mayor Huang Weiqi (黃偉哲).

In his first public appearance since returning from Honduras, Lai said the new Chuyun Condominiums (出) are not only more comfortable and attractive, but also much safer.

It was built to replace the 17-storey Weiguan Jinlong complex in Yongkang District, Tainan (永), which collapsed during a 6.4-magnitude earthquake on February 6, 2016, killing 115 people and injuring 504.

A forensic investigation found that the construction company used inferior materials and poor design to cut costs.

Lai gave special thanks to the first responders, as well as the 400,000 people in Taiwan and abroad who offered their support in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Rebuilding the complex was no small task, said Lai, considering that there was no profit to be made and success was the only option, and thanked the architects and builders.

He also honored successive city governments, who handed over responsibility over six years to achieve yesterday’s achievement.

He said the Weiguan Jinlong’s reconstruction is not a testament to the tragedy, but to Tainan’s bravery in the face of disaster, expressing the hope that the survivors can live a happy life.

Lien Huang-wen (連) and Chen Shu-yi (陳淑怡), who lost their two sons in a meltdown, brought their young daughter to the party.

“I have hope for the future,” Chen said.

“I have a lot of feelings. After all, it is as if we grew up with the Chuyun Building.” “I hope we can move in soon and start our new life.”

Although the earthquake caused immeasurable pain, the Taiwanese turned that suffering into love and support, said Yang Ningting (楊寧廷), who leads the association to rebuild housing for survivors.

With the help of Tainan City Government and Lai and others, the reconstruction work has overcome every obstacle, Yang said, adding that survivors can bid farewell to their past and achieve a bright future.

Construction of Chuyun Condominium’s 15-storey units began in 2018.

Since it sits on relatively unstable soil, the foundation is built with a retaining wall that extends 24 meters into the ground.

The first three floors house a clinic, with 48 housing units on the floors above.
