Chiang Peng-chien (Chinese: 江鵬堅; pinyin: Jiāng Péngjiān; Wade–Giles: Chiāng P'éng-chiēn; born April 25, 1940) was the co-founder and first chairperson of the Democratic Progressive Party.

Early life

Chiang Peng-chien was born April 25, 1940, in Dadaocheng, Taipei, Taiwan. His father was a shoemaker from Fujian, China.[1]

In 1955, Chiang entered the Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School. He then got into the National Taiwan University, majoring in law. After graduation, he passed the bar examination in 1964.[2] Chiang began practicing law after earning his master's degree.

Chiang advocated for human rights. He founded the Taiwan Association of Human Rights. On the 1979 Human Rights Day (December 10), members of the Formosa Magazine and other Tangwai pro-democracy advocates went on a demonstration. Many of the participants were arrested by the Kuomintang government and tried in military court. Chiang defended Lin Yi-hsiung, one of the "Kaohsiung Eight."[3]

Political career

Chiang became involved in politics and supported the Tangwai movement. He was elected a member of the Legislative Yuan in 1983.

On November 10, 1986, he was elected the first chairperson of the party.

In 1996, Chiang became a member of the Control Yuan.
