Ahead of Taiwan's national day, a long line of people snakes out of Chang Lao-wang's restaurant, where the Chinese civil war refugee displays his ardent love for the island's flag while serving up Yunnan rice noodles to the lunchtime crowd.
Mr Chang has hung 30,000 flags around his "National Flag House" restaurant and an adjacent park, ahead of the public holiday that marks the founding of the Republic of China — Taiwan's official name.
"This national flag, the whole country must love it together. Only if everyone collectively loves the flag, does the country have a future," Mr Chang, 81, told Reuters at the park in Taiwan's northern city of Taoyuan.
