Taiwan's former leader Chen Shui-bian said today, "Some people worry about me, saying that I just lost my job and am standing next to Chen Ting-fei, won't I be sent back to jail?" He said that when Kuo Kuo-wen, a legislator from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), was running for a legislative seat in 2019, then Premier Lai Ching-te came down to support him. But with only a week left before the vote, the opinion polls were still behind by 6 to 7 percentage points. If I hadn't helped at that time, why would the mayor of Tainan, Huang Wei-chih, have taken Kuo to his home in Kaohsiung to beg him, saying that you must stand up?
Chen Shui-bian said that he originally had no intention to get involved, but because Lai Ching-te said, "The DPP is down to its last breath in this by-election, like being in the ICU and needing emergency care," he didn't say anything else, and he wouldn't lose face, so he stood up and made a video to strongly support Kuo Kuo-wen. This eventually led Kuo to win the by-election. He said that he helped Kuo at that time was due to a request, but now meeting Chen Ting-fei unexpectedly, does that mean something?
Chen Shui-bian also said at the end, so is it wrong for me to stand next to Chen Ting-fei today? I believe heaven will surely help me uphold justice.
