Guo Zhengliang experienced sudden facial twitching during a live stream, stating he sought medical treatment due to facial nerve inflammation: Comprehensive physical examination has been scheduled.

On the 25th, during a live-streamed program, former DPP legislator Kuo Cheng-liang suddenly displayed an asymmetric and rigid facial expression midway through his conversation with the host. Netizens noticed his body involuntarily twisting, twitching at the corner of his mouth, and frequent blinking of his right eye. Many viewers expressed concern about his health in the comment section. Despite these physical warning signs, he maintained a professional demeanor to complete the recording. Only after finishing did he seek medical attention with the help of others.

Regarding this incident, Kuo Cheng-liang appeared on the evening broadcast program "Liang Hua Tianxia" last night, discussing the Ko Wen-je case. His mental state and consciousness were clearly intact, yet his facial expression still showed signs of facial droop and asymmetry. He expressed gratitude to all his friends for their care, stating that after seeing a doctor he returned home to rest. However, so many friends reached out to him that he couldn't reply individually, so he decided to go live to clarify everything directly.

Kuo Cheng-liang stated that some media reports had exaggerated the situation. He emphasized that he wasn't hospitalized; rather, he went to the doctor on his own initiative. He explained that his symptoms were mild. The doctor asked him to perform certain actions—such as raising his hand, walking, speaking clearly, and checking his awareness. The diagnosis revealed swelling in the ear and lymph nodes, which caused inflammation of the facial nerve, leading to compression of its function. As a result, his mouth still feels stiff, and he finds speaking somewhat awkward.

Kuo also admitted he has always been a workaholic but now understands the need for moderation and recognizes the importance of sleep. Going forward, he plans to reduce his appearance on programs appropriately and increase physical exercise. Reflecting on this experience, he candidly acknowledged his age, admitting he's quite old, but still has things he wants to say and share with others. He also revealed that he has scheduled a comprehensive medical examination at a major hospital next week.
