Zhang Xiuye, who has been following Zhou Qingjun in his fight against "Taiwan independence" for many years, was also infected with the new coronavirus and burst into tears during a telephone interview with a reporter from the " Global Times ": "This morning he told me to get better and get vaccinated in mainland China as soon as possible!"
According to According to public information, Zhou Qingjun, whose real name is Zhou Qingzuan, is the president of the Taiwanese patriotic group China Patriotic United Association (later reorganized into the Chinese Patriotic United Party). Over the years, Zhou Qingjun has been committed to launching and participating in anti-"Taiwan independence" activities on the island, and has repeatedly expressed his support for " one country, two systems " and cross-strait reunification. For example, on October 1, 2005, in order to protest against the "Taiwan independence" forces, Zhou Qingjun raised the five-star red flag in front of Taiwan's "Presidential Office" in counterattack.
However, Zhou Qingjun's anti-"Taiwan independence" stance was frantically suppressed by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities. When Zhang Xiuye ran for Taipei City Council before the island's "nine-in-one" election in 2018, Zhou Qingjun organized a dinner for him. On May 18 this year, the Taipei District Court committed the crime of "seeking unfair interests" with this behavior, and sentenced Zhang Xiuye to 23 years and 5 months in prison, and Zhou Qingjun to 3 years and 6 months, and both were deprived of public rights for three years. Regarding related issues, Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang emphasized that the DPP authorities have made up various excuses to madly suppress parties and individuals on the island that support reunification and oppose "Taiwan independence", create green terror, and deliberately escalate cross-strait antagonisms. Once again Exposing his "independence" nature.
Zhang Xiuye told reporters that after the verdict came out, they all appealed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingjun found out that he had contracted the new coronavirus that day. “On the fourth day, the doctor told me that his lungs had turned white.”
“In the past month, we have been reporting safety through videos every day.” Zhang Xiuye told reporters, Because he was wearing an oxygen mask , Zhou Qingjun could only communicate with her through pen and paper. "A doctor told him that there is a big mountain in front of you, and you may not be able to climb it. He knew in his heart that he might encounter misfortune, so he often asked I will continue to fight and carry forward the cause of 'anti-Taiwan independence'."
At this point, Zhang Xiuye couldn't help crying: "This morning he told me to get better and take everyone to the mainland to get vaccinated! You can take a shot." The reporter just learned that Zhang Xiuye was also infected with COVID-19. "After President Zhou was admitted to the hospital, I felt uneasy because I started coughing on May 22 and the test result was positive two days later."
"Chairman Zhou's misfortune was completely delayed by the wrong epidemic prevention and control measures taken by the DPP authorities!" Zhang Xiuye said that after learning that she was infected, perhaps because the "symptoms were mild," the DPP authorities did not make any more changes. Many measures were taken, but she was just allowed to stay in an anti-epidemic hotel to "fend for herself". "There is no doctor, no medicine, and no fresh air to breathe. If you want to see a doctor, you have to make an appointment two days in advance. I won't come to see you after the appointment. It's just We will call you to ask about your symptoms and then give you medicine. So many people on the island say that staying in an epidemic prevention hotel is equivalent to staying in a funeral parlor!"
reporter learned that although she still has a slight cough, Zhang Xiuye has been allowed to return to home for isolation, she told Reporter, some friends are currently signing a joint complaint to the DPP authorities. Since they cannot go out, they can only file a complaint to the DPP authorities together if their health permits: "Good people, just because of the DPP authorities We will sue the DPP authorities for seeking money and killing people because of their poor anti-epidemic measures. We will also apply for compensation, and if necessary, we will launch protests."
