<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > Huang Guoshu quit the DPP</h1>
On the afternoon of 16 July, Huang Guoshu, the Democratic Representative of the Democratic Progressive Party in Taichung, was still accompanying Chen Baiwei in his "anti-recall" mobilization, and suddenly posted an article in the evening admitting that he had been an informant of the Taiwan authorities decades ago, when the so-called "Wild Lily Student Movement," and that he was coerced to assist the intelligence and management units in conducting political investigations, including monitoring the comrades who were engaged in the movement together at that time.

Huang said that he would "face the past and assume political responsibility calmly" and decided to quit the DPP, withdraw from the new trend of factions within his party, and stop participating in elections at the end of his term. When the news came out, many people were shocked. Because Huang Guoshu is relatively humble, most of the political figures have a good impression of him, and he is mainly responsible for the field of culture and education, and he is more rational in asking politics, and he is also quite accomplished in calligraphy. If there is no accident, it is also one of the powerful competitors for the future mayor of Taichung. This matter is like a line in Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi's sketch that year: I can't imagine it, look at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you will also rebel!
The cause of the incident is rumored to be a few months ago, Taichung's new trend tycoon Li Jinxiang, to see the monitoring files of that year, found that everything in his family was reported, suspected of being close to people, and among them, the wireman alias "Huang Fan" was very suspicious of his own student Huang Guoshu, so he called him to inquire, did not want Huang Guoshu to be undefended, and admitted that he was "Huang Fan".
The new trend is a very disciplined faction, and it is about to be expelled from Huang. Originally, it would have ended here, but in the past, Chen Shui-bian's love general Luo Wenjia suddenly said on Facebook a few days ago that some of the student activists betrayed the organization and comrades, and now they continue to carry the DPP signboard to obtain power, causing the outside world to speculate who the "inner ghost" is.
Since the secret was punctured, Huang Guoshu openly admitted it, but also said that he had received a lot of political pressure. As next year's election approaches, various factions in the DPP are vying for power and profits, killing to the bone, and naturally refusing to let go of the political space that Huang Guoshu has given up. Luo Wenjia himself was also rumored to be interested in the future Taoyuan mayoral election, and it seemed that he had the intention of submitting a name to a certain faction.
However, there are still some people in the DPP who feel that Huang Guoshu is not worth it, and the most interesting of them is Ke Jianming, the general summoner of the DPP caucus. Ke sent a long text to persuade Huang not to quit. The text cites the story of the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who killed the false Tianzi Wang Lang and publicly burned the letters of the confiscated subordinates and Wang Lang to advocate reconciliation and understanding. He quoted Liu Xiu as saying that he would let those who could not sleep be relieved to sleep peacefully, as if he wanted to persuade those who were very concerned about the same party to be generous.

At the same time, he also gave an example of three hundred and two silver in this area, saying that although the DPP hated Chiang Kai-shek, it did not whip the corpse, allowed his bronze statue and memorial hall to exist, and did not liquidate his descendant Jiang Wan'an, and also made it possible for him to elect the mayor of Taipei in the future. Ke Jianming seems to have forgotten that not long ago, they set up the "Justice committee for the promotion of transformation" proposal to renovate the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, remove the bronze statue, and renovate the building. And the time is put on the start of next year's local elections, which will exacerbate the blue-green confrontation and pave the way for next year's Taipei mayoral election.
The "Committee for Promoting Transitional Justice" has been a weapon to liquidate the KMT since Tsai Ing-wen took office, and in the past she has used everything in the past to suppress the Blue Camp. Only now that he suddenly burned himself, Ke Jianming thought of reconciling and burning the evidence to let everyone sleep well.
Whoever wants to make a wave of unevenness rise again and again, Shi Mingde, the most senior big man in the DPP, also came out to break the news, saying that the late Jiang Pengjian, the first chairman of the DPP, was also a cadre of the Bureau of Investigation. Shi Mingde said that Jiang personally confessed to him that he had been ordered to monitor Shi Mingde's brother Shi Mingzheng, and in his later years he also returned the information he collected to Shi Mingde. Jiang Pengjian was one of the lawyers who defended Shi Mingde in the Incident of Formosa Boulevard Magazine that year, and after that famous big defense, most of the members of the defense team composed of 15 lawyers later became political figures in the island's political arena, including Chen Shui-bian, Su Zhenchang, Xie Changting, Zhang Junxiong and others. The Formosa Boulevard incident left Shi Mingde in jail for decades, suffering a lot, but the political gains were reaped by these lawyers. What has always been marginalized by Shi Mingde is that the "promotion of transfers" has opened up the archives on a small scale, and Chen Ju, who is a high official, is invited to see his own files, but Shi Mingde is not allowed.

Shi Mingde's words caused Xie Changting to be dissatisfied, and the two sides came and went, talking about swords. Xie Ben has also been rumored to be an informant at that time. Shi Mingde even put down harsh words, he said that he had talked with Annette Lu, who was also a victim of Formosa Boulevard, and among the fifteen lawyers at that time, except for his classmate You Qing and Annette Lu's brother Lu Chuansheng, who was not an informant? As soon as the words came out, Su Zhenchang also ran out to defend himself. The "promotion of transfers" against the KMT, whether it is to the people or to the party property, often adopt the method of presumption of guilt, so that the parties concerned can prove their innocence. Now the recoil has burned to himself, and when Su Zhenchang solemnly talks about how innocent he was back then, it is very ironic.
This time, even the media of the Green Camp could not stand it, criticizing the "promotion of transfers" for choosing to open the archives, so that its impartiality was damaged, and the black materials they possessed were easily used as weapons to attack opponents because they were selectively disclosed. In addition, the resulting social and moral problems cannot be carefully dealt with, which makes people suspicious of each other.
The "Promotion Transfer" once invited some people who were monitored to see the file, but Chen Wenxi, one of the invitees, said that she did not want to see it, saying that she would never test human nature, and should reserve a little leeway for her innocent soul. Compared with those who have read the materials and come out to criticize the KMT for not falling down taiwan, Chen Wenqian seems to be trying to smooth out a little difference for this society, rather than blindly turning the problems of the past into today's power cash machines.
The "promotion of transfers" finally came out to hold a press conference, and the reporters' questions were answered upside down and did not know what to do. However, the core still said that when the information is complete, it is still necessary to liquidate some perpetrators, including confiscating their retirement income and honors. At the press conference, however, the spokesman avoided the infighting caused by the so-called informants in the DPP at present by not targeting individual cases, and in view of the problem that Shi Mingde could not read the archives, the person in charge of the "promotion transfer" arrogantly said, "I have not received his application."
It is said that there were 30,000 informants at that time, many of whom were the mainstay of current society. The Huang Guoshu case that broke the news this time occurred during lee teng-hui's administration after the "lifting of the strict" period, and many people in the so-called "wild lily student movement" were also in the echelon of succession of the DPP. Instead of talking about Formosa Boulevard, we talk about wild lilies, of course, because Formosa Boulevard is a thing of the past, and the generation of wild lilies is in a period of sophistication, which is the backbone of various factions, and from time to time, the revelations can add fuel to the fire of the DPP factions. But it really aroused social doubts, and even demanded the disclosure of all the information, and when the bottom card was opened to see the end, whether it was the DPP government or the "promotion of transfer", he was concerned about him.
Tsai Ing-wen came out to speak out for this, saying that transitional justice is not a struggle, let alone a reckoning. Only by clarifying the historical truth and fully understanding the painful history of that year can we find the possibility of reconciliation. However, in this society with a seriously opposed position, there is no consensus on even the basic right and wrong, regardless of whether who is the "perpetrator" or the "victim" can be truly clarified, let alone the so-called "perpetrator" side will always have a reason for having feelings or duties, and the so-called "victim" will always have a reason not to forgive or forgive. Just like in the past, Ma Ying-jeou went to the 228 Peace Memorial Park every year to sincerely apologize, but there has been no shortage of people who spit on him.
After the Tsai government opened the Pandora's box, it caused panic, but thought about how to make people forget the existence of the box. The question is, who can sleep after seeing a demon?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > Chen Baiwei was deposed</h1>
On October 23, the Taichung Radical Progressive Party's Democratic Representative Chen Baiwei was voted to recall, and with about 78,000 votes in favor, Chen Baiwei was successfully deposed. The turnout was very high, with an overall turnout of 51 percent, with more than 70,000 votes in favor and disagreement, and the gap was about 5,000 votes, which was quite glue. And a recall can stimulate such a large mobilization energy between the opposing sides, which is a very rare thing. This is also the first democratic representative to be removed after the first democratically elected mayor (Han Hanyu) was removed during Tsai Ing-wen's tenure and the first local councilor (Wang Haoyu) was removed. After this, it may stimulate the momentum and enthusiasm of both sides to launch a recall.
On the eve of the vote, both sides carried out campaign activities, compared to the small speech conference of the recalling party, Chen Baiwei's campaign night, inviting famous rock bands and folk singers, and using filmmaking to make the passage of the campaign conference, which cost a lot. The whole campaign is looking back at the development of taiwan's democracy movement, and Chen Baiwei presents himself as a descendant of the democracy movement, but the so-called recall is itself the form of democracy that the radical organizations in the Green Camp had in mind. It was also through the efforts of the dark green party's era forces that the threshold for recall was lowered, and then Huang Guochang, then chairman of the times power, led by example and suffered a shocking recall. Since then, the "recall" has opened a new chapter in the blue-green vicious struggle, but it is also more ironic that chen Baiwei, the "descendant of democracy," has stigmatized the "recall" as "evil strike" with great fanfare. They seem to feel that only by supporting themselves is they worthy of being called democracy, and that when they depose Han Hanyu, they do not call it "evil."
Although he was eventually deposed, the close disagreement vote also shows that the recall is ultimately a dispute over positions, not a question of whether the people are fit for office or not. This echoes the recent chaos of transitional justice, in which everyone feels that they are righteous, and the other is unjust and can be condemned.
As for the impact of this incident on the blue-green camp, Zhu Lilun's sense of existence is very low, and success has little to do with it, but if it is not successful, it will hit the chairman's position even more. Jiang Qichen contributed a lot, even if it was to stabilize his local strength, Zhao Shaokang's battle blue also played a little role in it. For the Yan Kuanheng family, it not only reflected the strength of the local organization, but also was greatly attacked by Chen Baiweifang, making it a certain degree of "power and magnate" struggle, and the negative voice also surged. As the mayor, Lu Xiuyan did not intervene in the recall, which has advantages and disadvantages, but at least ensures impartiality.

In the Green Camp, Tsai Ing-wen's support for Chen Baiwei still cannot save the fate of Chen's removal, and can even be interpreted as Tsai Ing-wen's decline in her own polls, which in turn affects Chen Baiwei. The recent civil unrest in the Green Camp, such as the expulsion of Wu Zijia and Huang Guoshu's informants, and a series of negative incidents such as the expulsion of Wu Zijia and Huang Guoshu, and the forced ko wen-chul to recite Tsai Wen-wen's "four insistences" by Taipei congressman Jian Shupei, are shaking the dpp's support. Cai Qichang, a new trend of people who has supported Chen Baiwei all the way, has also proved to have limited strength, and basically does not want to be the mayor of Taichung.
Although Chen Baiwei was deposed, the small dark green party of the Radical Progressive Party was able to play a role in a hate-mobilizing recall campaign, which means that in an atmosphere of unundergement, extreme forces will grow unexpectedly.
