His family filed a lawsuit across the strait and applied for some NT$10 million (about US$329,000) in compensation. The Kaohsiung District Court and the Kaohsiung Branch of the Taiwan High Court both held that, according to the Constitution, people of the mainland area are also people of the Republic of China, so the State Compensation Act applies. The Public Works Bureau, Kaohsiung City Government, was ordered to pay NT$4.6 million (about $152,327) in compensation.
