during a visit to Taiwan in 2007, urging forgiveness and publicity for Lin's story. The Gikong or Yi-Kwang Presbyterian Church () was erected on the site of the former Lin family residence off Hsinyi Road. A memorial service is held annually at the church on February 28. Gikong was founded to provide religious services and comfort for the families of dissidents affected by the Kaohsiung Incident, and later expanded its mission to all political victims. Reinvestigated The case was reopened in 2009 by the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office; it was discovered that a call had been placed from the Lin's home to a restaurant shortly after the murders, but the caller did not speak. No new interviews were conducted for the later investigation, and the investigation was closed after four months. The High Prosecutors Office concluded there was not enough forensic evidence, and further, there was nothing to tie the Taiwan Garrison Command to the crime. The investigation was criticized as a sham, intended only "to prove that security agencies were not behind [the crimes]."

For other records belonging to the National Security Bureau, it was not certain that all the requested documents could be declassified. Post incident career Lin returned to Taiwan in 1989 and became a major advocate against nuclear power in Taiwan soon after. In 1995, he ran and lost in the Democratic Progressive Party's four-way primary for the 1996 Taiwan presidential election. Three years later, Lin Yi-hsiung became the 8th Chairperson of Democratic Progressive Party (1998–2000) and successfully ran a campaign for Chen Shui-bian as the 10th President of the Republic of China.

Citing Robert Frost's poem, he retired with the remark that he preferred to take "the road less travelled by". Leaving all public and party posts behind him, Lin has been concerning himself with 'reform from outside (the centers of power)' as he campaigns for various issues of environmental justice and parliamentary reform, most importantly in mobilizing public support against nuclear power (2000) and for reducing the number of parliamentary seats by half (2004),
