They complained about the government's slowness in providing compensation. Tsai applied twice. His case was first rejected two years ago and he has been waiting for six months for a response to his most recent application. "Those in the army on Kinmen responsible for granting the required compensation documents always shift the responsibility by saying that they are new to the job and know nothing about my case. So I have to send my files many times," Tsai explained. They say that the government is not committed to compensating them for their suffering.
"Although we have never received an education, we have to prepare piles of documents and visit government agencies to apply for compensation on our own. ... The government never thinks of our inconvenience," Li said.
