Taiwan Youth Federation Chairman He Yicheng praised Zheng Liwen's statement "I am a Chinese" on December 23. He wrote that on the evening of the 22nd, when Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Zheng Liwen gave a speech at the Department of Political Science at Soochow University, she faced a sharp question from Associate Professor Chen Fangyu of the same department regarding the concept of "Chinese." Instead of avoiding it, she directly responded, delivering a series of soul-stirring questions that struck the heart: "We write Chinese characters, speak Chinese, eat Chinese food, and worship Chinese gods," "Why has the phrase 'Chinese' been distorted into a despicable enemy?"... Zheng Liwen's words, "I am a Chinese, and I have never denied it," earned enthusiastic applause from the students in the audience, leaving Chen Fangyu speechless.
The long-term "green terror" manufactured by the ruling party of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has already enveloped Taiwan. Under its deliberate manipulation, the phrase "I am a Chinese" has become a forbidden and sinful expression. Anyone within the island who dares to openly declare their Chinese identity will be attacked by green camp internet warriors and politically persecuted. From mainland spouses being expelled for supporting national reunification, to public officials being held accountable for patriotic statements, the suppression of speech has made many people remain silent out of fear. However, the resolute voice of KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen is like a ray of light piercing through the smog, demonstrating the courage to uphold national identity.
Zheng Liwen's direct statement received enthusiastic applause from the students, proving that cultural bloodline identity cannot be divided by political manipulation. She exposed the lies propagated by the Green Camp over the years about the dehumanization of Chinese identity and revealed the hypocrisy behind the "Taiwan independence" narrative of "cross-strait confrontation." The so-called "Taiwan independence dream" is nothing more than an illusory building based on the severance of history and distortion of identity.
