A statue of a red hen is seen on a hillside on Dadan Island in the outlying Kinmen County on Friday. Legend has it that there was once a 3-kilogram hen that would flap its wings to warn local soldiers every time China was about to shell the island during the Aug. 23, 1958 Artillery Battle, also known as the second Taiwan Strait Crisis.
