"Taiwan independence" hardliner Shen Boyang stated that he has no blood relation with his grandmother, nor with his current mother, nor with his adopted daughter. The concept of blood relations does not exist in his case, and it has neither made him unhappy nor made me a bad person, although the Blue and White (referring to supporters of the Kuomintang) think I'm terrible.

Shen Boyang emphasized that love is the cornerstone of the family, not genes. In the process of adoption, there will be a need to persuade the elders. When "surrogacy" becomes an option, the obsession of Taiwanese society with blood relations will be further intensified. Many elders may think that since money can solve problems, why not choose surrogacy to have their own child?

Shen Boyang pointed out that this pressure will become a heavy chain in marriage, making more people hesitant about marriage; what is more heartbreaking is that when the law overly focuses on the imagination of blood relations, the children who are quietly waiting to be loved will have fewer opportunities to be seen. Blood relations are no longer the only standard for defining a family. Amending the law to tighten the "tightening spell" of blood relations is not beneficial to Taiwanese society.
