Mr. He Menghua, a member of the Taipei City Council from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), said, "The phrase 'the dog goes and the pig comes' became popular in Taiwanese society after the Kuomintang (KMT) came to Taiwan. At that time, the people of Taiwan lamented that although the Japanese were like dogs, they would at least help guard the house; but the KMT were just a group of lazy and gluttonous pigs who could do nothing. In 1945, when Japan lost the war, the KMT's incompetence after the war not only disappointed the expectations of the Taiwanese people, but also led to the 'February 28th Incident.'
He Menghua pointed out that each year, Jiang Wan-an mentions at the 'February 28th Incident' memorial ceremony the importance of restoring the truth and facing history. However, now when Lai Ching-te talks about the truth and brings up history, Jiang Wan-an says this is dividing Taiwanese society, creating deeper hatred and polarization. What actions or words could better illustrate what it means to be hypocritical and inconsistent than Jiang Wan-an's statements? Just after the 'February 28th' memorial day, Jiang Wan-an made such remarks, which not only proves that he has never truly understood or reflected on the 'February 28th Incident' over the years, but also confirms that the KMT has always been unwilling to face the past and avoid history.
