Transforming society begins with a scoop of ice cream

A small vendor in Hualien’s Zi Qiang Night Market (自强夜市), “Justice Ice Cream (正當冰)” sells more than just ice cream. The ice cream parlor’s proprietor, Li Meng-Long (李孟龍), is fully engaged in a whole host of social issues, including environmental issues, human rights, animal rights, and food safety. From the Hung Chung-chiu (洪仲丘) case to the more recent Anti Black Box Movement, owner Li Meng-Long has consistently voiced out from the heart. 

By providing free “compassion” ice cream to children in remote areas of the country, Justice Ice Cream is sharing love and warmth between people, transforming compassion into a force in society. Owner Li Meng-Long personally wrote a special report about travelling to rural areas, which has helped to put the spotlight on kids from those regions, and facilitated gaining access to much-needed resources.

正當冰是花蓮自強夜市裡的小攤販，老闆李孟龍不只賣冰，更付出行動關心社會議題。包括環保議題、人權、動物權和食品安全，從關心洪仲丘案開始，到近日前的反課綱運動，老闆都為心中的正義發聲。正當冰也將社會的愛心化作力量，遠赴偏鄉發送愛心冰淇淋給孩童，回饋社會，也傳遞人與人之間的愛與溫暖。李孟龍自己也撰寫偏鄉系列報導，讓孩童獲得社會更多關注，藉以取得更多資源。
