Taipei 101 lights up to support Hualien flood victims, thank ‘Shovel Superheroes’

Taipei 101, the iconic skyscraper in Taiwan’s capital, flashed alternating Mandarin messages on its LED display Tuesday evening -- “All of Taiwan stands with Hualien” and “Salute to Shovel Superheroes” -- to express solidarity with Hualien residents hit by last week’s deadly flooding and to thank volunteers who rushed to the eastern county to assist in cleanup efforts.
