After retiring from public office, Zhu Lilun had no official career. When the COVID-19 epidemic raged for a whole year, and he was often named by the media as a candidate for the chairman of the Kuomintang, he simply hid in the world of TV dramas and joined the ranks of the "stay-at-home economy".

Zhu Lilun has not only watched the Taiwanese drama " Want to Meet You", the Korean drama "Itaewon CLASS" and "Crash Landing on You", but also the Chinese dramas "An Jia", "Thirty Only" and "The Ming Dynasty". Refuse.

Zhu Lilun returned to teach in the Accounting Department of National Taiwan University in September last year. He praised the education of love. Junior students and younger students rushed to see Professor Zhu’s brilliance, and the hall was full. During the gaps between classes, he would sometimes disappear suddenly, and then suddenly appear, triggering a lot of students. The brothers and sisters were curious and inquired about it - it turned out that Zhu Lilun used his spare time to go for a walk on the National Taiwan University campus, and would choose trails that he had never walked before to try out new things.

In the past, when New Taipei was the mayor and the chairman of the Kuomintang, Zhu Lilun was as busy as a spinning top. He had to wait for several months for dinner parties before he could meet his friends. Now, he is like an uncle next door, choosing a day rather than catching it. , we sat down for a light meal immediately, and had more time to exchange opinions. Most of them were not politicians on the stage, but private friends. They were humane and the conversation could get to the core of the problem.

During the epidemic, Zhu Lilun was more interested in watching dramas.

Zhu Lilun once said on Facebook that the Taiwanese drama "Want to Meet You" uses fantasy and suspense to tell love stories that Taiwanese dramas are not good at in the past, and uses time and space techniques to see Huang Yuxuan and Li Ziwei's emotions from their souls; the Korean drama "Itaewon CLASS" From the confrontation between the elder family and Tianli, the protagonist's personality, diverse social composition and class reversal are carefully portrayed; in "Crash Landing on You", Lee Jung-hyuk and Yoon Se-ri abandoned their prejudices and compared the differences in culture and life between North and South Korea. In the end, love conquers all.

Zhu Lilun not only follows Korean dramas, but also loves to watch Chinese dramas that are regarded as the "red film and television industry" by the Democratic Progressive Party. He has followed "An Jia", "Thirty Only" and "The Ming Dynasty".

"An Jia" is adapted from the Japanese drama "Queen of Real Estate Agents". It is an urban drama starring Sun Li. It describes the story of a real estate agent manager who is ordered to save the company from declining performance; "Only Thirty" is from the perspective of three thirty-year-old women. It tells the story of facing multiple pressures; "The Ming Dynasty" is a costume drama that reappeared after the "ban on ancient times".

Regarding the "ruling party" frequently calling the "red film and television industry" or "red industrial chain", Zhu Lilun disapproved and said: "Then we should not watch "Story of Yanxi Palace", "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in the future. Wait until mainland dramas are ready."

Zhu Lilun believes that Taiwan has a free creative environment, which is an advantage of the Chinese world and should be viewed from a positive perspective. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait can cooperate in the Chinese film and television industry.
