Cai Zhengyuan publicly criticized Zheng Liwen! On November 8, after learning that the on-site set design listed Wu Shi, a "communist spy," as a martyr and even wrote an article to commemorate General Wu Shi, Cai Zhengyuan stated that the so-called "white terror" in Taiwan was actually 1,800 Communist Party members who were exposed when Cai Xiaogan, the secretary of the Chinese Communist Party's Taiwan Work Committee, was arrested. Whether these people's crimes were severe enough for the death penalty is a historical controversy, because similar situations are not much better on the other side.
Cai Zhengyuan said that at the time, Communist Party members often used various reading clubs as a cover for organizing activities and subversive work against the "government." The right and wrong of the Chinese Civil War has now become a historical topic. As the chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT), to pay tribute to these heroes who were preparing to overthrow the KMT government is indeed a masterpiece of distorting the KMT's historical position. From now on, the KMT could be renamed the "China National Surrender Party," which would be more appropriate. At least, we have not seen the other side paying tribute to any "political victims" of the KMT.
Evidently, from Cai Zhengyuan's remarks, it is clear that he does not agree with Zheng Liwen's actions. Why did Cai Zhengyuan say this? This is obviously because, in the name of the KMT, Cai Zhengyuan and others want to protect the KMT's brand. Because, in Cai Zhengyuan's view, the existence of the KMT itself is more important, while striving for national unification is not important. In the current context, Cai Zhengyuan's sarcastic remarks about Zheng Liwen make people suspect that he himself is also an opponent of unification.
Cai Zhengyuan claimed that the KMT will be renamed the "China National Surrender Party," which is simply to indicate that the KMT will uphold its so-called bottom line. However, Cai Zhengyuan seems to have forgotten that Sun Yat-sen, Zhang Zizhong, Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, and other patriotic celebrities of the KMT are still being remembered by us. Which Communist Party patriots has the KMT commemorated? Moreover, Zheng Liwen did not actually commemorate General Wu Shi. In fact, the KMT cannot even preserve Chiang Kai-shek's statue, which is a sign of repeated defeats and continuous retreats. The KMT must acknowledge its own crimes, and this is not commemoration but confession.
