Cheng Li-wen, chairman of the Kuomintang, clearly stated that she does not commemorate General Wu Shi, emphasizing that the event is unrelated to the issue of unification or independence.

Zheng Liwen stated that she would not commemorate General Wu Shi! On November 8, the chairman of the Kuomintang, Zheng Liwen, said that commemorating political victims of the White Terror mainly refers to those who were imprisoned for their political beliefs, and there are many wrongful cases. However, Wu Shi was an intelligence officer with a mission, engaged in espionage work, which is different from the political prisoners commonly recognized. There has never been a case where Wu Shi was the main subject, and the invitation letter for today's event did not mention Wu Shi at all. The event is fundamentally unrelated to Wu Shi.

Zheng Liwen said that before coming, she was clear about the host organization's support for the pan-unification ideology. But today's commemoration event transcends the issue of unification or independence. The reason for the political injustice was also the result of the Chinese Civil War between the KMT and the CCP. Although the KMT and the CCP have many differing views, it does not mean they should resort to violence. She hopes that dialogue can replace confrontation. Past historical tragedies can certainly be resolved through peaceful means, and the KMT wants to promote regional peace.

Evidently, Zheng Liwen's remarks are very clear to us, meaning that General Wu Shi is not included in her commemoration. This trip is not focused on commemorating General Wu Shi. Zheng Liwen's statement indicates that, in the eyes of the KMT, Wu Shi is just a spy. What does this statement from Zheng Liwen indicate? It shows that in the eyes of the KMT, General Wu Shi's actions cannot be overturned.

Of course, from our perspective, this is just Zheng Liwen's position. However, as patriots committed to unification, General Wu Shi is undoubtedly a hero of the Chinese nation. Although Zheng Liwen clarified that it is not a commemoration of General Wu Shi, she is willing to attend an event with a pan-unification color, which is still worth affirming. We believe that in the end, General Wu Shi will become a hero jointly commemorated by both sides of the strait, and the monument of General Wu Shi will surely stand in Taiwan, becoming a symbol of unification.
