Not long ago, the DPP authorities were again spreading extremely absurd remarks, and all kinds of slanders and smears were also emerging one after another.
Zheng Liwen has always been a controversial person in Taiwan, and the choices she made in the past are also related to a variety of reasons.
Zheng Liwen in life choices
Zheng Liwen was born in Taipei, China in 1969, and her early study path has been relatively smooth, and she was admitted to the law department of Taiwan University.
With a height of 178 centimeters, she attracted attention when she was in college.
However, Zheng Liwen was still full of hope for the future at that time, and after graduating from the law department, she went to United States Temple University to continue her studies, and it was from this time that her eloquent speech also attracted more attention.
A combination of her own conditions, even the United States scouts have come to the door to invite her to engage in the modeling industry, but Zheng Liwen finally gave up, her idea is to return to Taiwan in the future to become a civil servant, and since then into the political industry.
Perhaps, being a star is every girl's original dream, and later Zheng Liwen also made a cameo appearance in the movie "Serving the People", which can be regarded as making some efforts towards this goal.
After graduating with a master's degree, Zheng Liwen returned, but at that time the "black gold" politics of the Kuomintang made her extremely dissatisfied.
The KMT's party-run undertakings consisted of seven major holding companies and the "party-owned" enterprises in which they had reinvested, and these enterprises were extremely financially profound, and were once known as the "treasury of gold" of the KMT, and for many high-ranking KMT members, this money was also the main source of their funds.
Moreover, since the KMT's defeat in Taiwan in 1949, those party-run enterprises have also developed into consortia with many enterprises and huge capital, and after fully occupying resources and developing for decades, these enterprises have almost all grown into "monsters".
It has always been an unknown figure how much property the party-run undertaking has, and it has always been a "mystery" in the eyes of the outside world, and there has never been an accurate answer.
Moreover, for a long time, the party-run business was in the hands of the mysterious Finance Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee, and the internal posts of this committee were very popular in the Kuomintang, and this post was not available to anyone, and it had to be appointed by the chairman of the Kuomintang himself.
During the two Chiang eras, all resources were highly concentrated in the Chiang family's father and son, so they became full of insider stories without the supervision of public opinion, and it was common for the property of the party-run enterprises to be embezzled by private individuals.
The opposition parties, the media, and the people have expressed their dissatisfaction with these bad deeds, and almost all of them have expressed their dissatisfaction; in the minds of many people, the KMT's party property problem has become a "major cancer" in society, and it has reached the point where it must be eradicated step up.
Similarly, Zheng Liwen often expresses her dissatisfaction.
Therefore, after returning to China's Taiwan region to participate in politics, Zheng Liwen did not consider the Kuomintang at all and simply joined the DPP.
Similar to many politicians on the island, she also gained attention by "being generous" in the media, and became one of the "double girls in the line of fire", but after staying in the DPP for a long time, she discovered many problems in the DPP.
In the process of the "legislature election" in 2001, Zheng Liwen had a conflict with the DPP because she was not nominated, so she used the media to disclose that the DPP had not achieved any decent results, which naturally caused the DPP's dissatisfaction.
Just a year later, Zheng Liwen exposed all kinds of indecent behaviors of DPP insiders, and was directly expelled from the party.
Criticizing the Kuomintang in the past and now criticizing the Democratic Progressive Party, Zheng Liwen felt a little "unmixed" in Taiwan, so he simply disappeared, in order to find an opportunity to make a comeback in the future, Zheng Liwen also decided to improve his ability, and went to Cambridge University in United Kingdom to study for a doctorate in international relations.
It was also during that time that she calmly examined cross-strait relations, and also met Lien Chan and his wife through National Taiwan University professor Zhang Linzheng.
Through conversations with Lien Chan and others, Zheng Liwen realized a problem: If you want to improve cross-strait relations, it is unscientific to rely on the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), or you can only rely on the Kuomintang.
During that time, the DPP authorities did more and more things without a lower limit, which also made Zheng Liwen even more disgusted, so in January 2005, after Lien Chan's introduction, Zheng Liwen finally joined the Kuomintang.
She also understands that if the Kuomintang wants to regain the trust of the people, it not only needs "fresh blood", but also has to establish a good image.
The transformation of the image of the Kuomintang is regarded as a pursuit
It can be said that Zheng Liwen can still be highly used by the top level of the Kuomintang, and less than a month after joining the Kuomintang, she was elected vice chairman and spokesperson of the Cultural Communication Association.
In the past, the Kuomintang has always appeared in the field of vision of the people in Taiwan as a "century-old party", although this seems to be a winning condition, but in fact, many people in Taiwan have a dull impression of the Kuomintang.
Zheng Liwen gave full play to her "star characteristics" and reversed the serious and dull impression of the Kuomintang through her rich hosting experience; For example, in an event in May 2005, Zheng Liwen appeared as "Yang Bajie" and appeared in funny slippers, which made the audience laugh.
At the thanksgiving party where Lien Chan was about to step down, Zheng Liwen changed into a hot miniskirt again, imitating the plot of the movie "Chicago" for Lien Chan to sing and dance, and the atmosphere at the scene was also very lively.
Through these acts, at least the people saw a truth: the Kuomintang no longer "looked serious", but could also get close to the people.
It's just that because of Zheng Liwen's past, many people have an impression, so once something goes wrong, this also becomes a point of attack.
In July 2006, she also had a scandal, when "Next Magazine" broke the news that Zheng Liwen and her boyfriend Luo Wuchang accepted the house provided by the wealthy businessman Zhou Xinyi.
At that time, members of the Democratic Progressive Party seized the incident and began to criticize, and Zheng Liwen was under pressure for a while, but chose to find a new residence.
Fortunately, the related scandal did not expand because she and her boyfriend finally achieved a positive result in 2011.
This relationship is indeed a plus, because she and Luo Wuchang met and fell in love when they were in college, and based on complementary personalities, they have not had a large-scale quarrel over the years, and they have never even mentioned breaking up.
Although Zheng Liwen is trying his best, the basic situation of the KMT's decline has not been alleviated for the time being.
Although the Kuomintang had a dictatorial and ferocious side in the past, the Chiang family still recognized that the two sides of the strait share the same roots, and that no matter where they are, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and their dream has always been to "counterattack" rather than split.
In the face of the various offensives of the DPP authorities, the KMT's preparations are still insufficient, and many practices of withdrawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle have caused the KMT's financial strength to decline, and the newly grown younger generation of people in Taiwan do not have much favor for the KMT, which is an acute and difficult problem for the development of the KMT.
It can only be said that it is precisely because people like Zheng Liwen are still insisting that the situation has the possibility of maneuvering.
In this regard, Zheng Liwen also spoke out loudly, claiming that "do not be confused by the lies of these 'Taiwan independence' elements, and the sober people in the Taiwan region will also understand that a stable environment in the Taiwan Strait is the cornerstone of Taiwan's development, and only by adhering to the one-China principle and actively promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations can Baodao have a bright future." ”
In 2018, she withdrew from the "primary" election for the mayor of Taipei by the Kuomintang and said she would leave more time for her family.
Due to the serious situation of her mother's fall at home, when Zheng Liwen rushed to the hospital, she found that her mother could not recognize her at this time, she said at the time: "I am too busy to have time to visit my mother, and I will be terrified as long as I receive a call from home these days, and I feel very guilty." ”
Although she does not have a greater right to speak, Zheng Liwen's sharp teeth are still playing a role.
After mocking Su Zhenchang in the court, Su Zhenchang was also so angry that he scolded "shameless", and after hearing this, Zheng Liwen also walked directly in front of Su Zhenchang and asked him to apologize in public.
At that time, the two sides were debating the situation in Taiwan, and many foreign media said that this was "the most dangerous place in the world." Zheng Liwen also asked to her face: "The mainland is so big, if you really want to play an arms race, how can you fight it?" ”
Su Zhenchang replied in a strange way: "Do you want to surrender?" ”
Hearing this, Zheng Liwen immediately said: "I'm afraid that you will be the first to surrender at that time, and the second will be Tsai Ing-wen." ”
After this incident spread on the Internet, many "celebrities" demanded that Su Zhenchang apologize.
Because Zheng Liwen is very sober, the DPP authorities keep saying that they want to confront, Zheng Liwen knows very well that all the development of Taiwan is inseparable from the support of the mainland, and under the implementation of ECFA, the people in Taiwan also enjoy the favorable policies of the mainland.
At present, the mainland is still giving Taiwan a chance, and Beijing has never given up the possibility of military reunification, but the people on the island who yearn for peaceful reunification are innocent.
