Why was the familiar song "Roasted Rice Dumplings" once politically banned? The "Flowers of Freedom" permanent exhibition at the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall now offers free guides in Mandarin, Taiwanese Taigi, Hakka, English, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese. Each language includes 32 segments on Taiwan's democratic development.

Visitors can listen while viewing historical archives, interactive media and immersive displays. Beginning with "The Era of Imposed Silence", the exhibition covers banned songs, restricted speech and Taiwan's path toward democracy and freedom.

Visitors may borrow a guide device free at the Information Desk in the Central Hallway, or scan the on-site QR Code with a phone or tablet. The interface follows the device language. Personal-device users should bring headphones.

All 8 versions are recorded by native speakers. Canadian narrator Kronis, who has lived in Taiwan for nearly 30 years, was puzzled that "Roasted Rice Dumplings" had once been banned.

The exhibition has received nearly 260,000 visits in 8 months. Located on the first floor, it opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Borrowers need an ID card, National Health Insurance card, driver's license, passport, Alien Resident Certificate or other valid document. Without identification, a refundable NT$1,000 deposit is required.
