Chen Shizhong is the new word "correction return" for Taiwan's confirmed digital invention. "Asia Weekly" conducted a "shuowen Jiezi" mocking
Taiwan's epidemic command center announced on the 22nd that 321 new local cases and 400 new confirmed cases of "correction return", and the four words "correction return" also caused ridicule among all walks of life. On the 23rd, "Asia Weekly", headquartered in Hong Kong, also explained the words "correction return" in the 23rd, saying that these four words were intended to express that there were not so many confirmed numbers on that day. At the same time, "Asia Weekly" also produced a meme and marked "ㄩˋㄍㄞˋㄇㄧˊㄓㄤ" with a phonetic notation on the 4 words "correction return" in the picture (it is to cover up the excitement).

Taiwan's "China Times News Network" reported on the 23rd that "Asia Weekly" posted a post on Facebook that yesterday (22nd) Taiwan's "Minister of Health and Welfare" Chen Shizhong said a brand new official word (abbreviated as: New Language, also known as: Official accent): "Calibration Return". Many readers left messages asking "Asia Weekly"'s Facebook editor, asking the editor if he understands this word, "Now I'll try to explain it."

Asia Weekly first said the source of "correction return", and then "explained" the meaning of these four words: the so-called "correction return" refers to the "return" of the numerical value after "correction". Because the procurement and inspection work is complicated and there are times of delay, it often takes several days to complete some inspection reports, so the results released on the day include some old inspection reports - from the previous day - and Chen Shizhong, a "great" word creation expert, decided to dial the confirmed number of the old days from the original inspection days. In other words, he aims to express that the number of confirmed cases (as if, seem, or relatively) on that day is not that many.

"Asia Weekly" also translated "correction return" and "translated into human words", saying that these 4 words mean "I transferred the delayed verification and confirmation report back to the original day, so it is oh, today's local confirmed number seems not high~ oh, 721-400=321". "Asia Weekly" also used this set of explanations to create a picture, and used phonetic notes, Chinese pinyin, etc. to represent "correction regression". It is worth noting that in the part of the phonetic notes, it is written as "ㄩˋㄍㄞˋㄇㄧˊㄓㄤ".

New local cases in Taiwan exceeded 100 for many consecutive days, and the DPP authorities played a text game. According to the Zhongshi Electronic News 22 report, Chen Shizhong announced 323 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia on the 22nd, and another 400 local cases were corrected and returned to the cases of each day last week.
Many people are full of questions about the term "correction return".Media person on the island, Luo Youzhi, also posted, "My IQ is limited. What is 'correction return'?"
. Many Taiwanese netizens explained in their own words, "It's the difference between swiping cards and cashing." "I ate 400 more calories today. My correction return was actually eaten more last week, so I won't get fat today." "Isn't it just that the results were not obtained that day + the omissions caused by the unstable upload system?"
also mocked me, "It's better to directly clear 0 every day in the future, and then correct and return when the epidemic is over."
. In response to the practices of the DPP authorities, the Kuomintang "legislator" Chen Yuzhen criticized that it is really a government that will take the bill, and the people will lose confidence in the credibility of the DPP authorities in the public's credibility of the data released; Zheng Zhaoxin, deputy chairman of the Kuomintang's Cultural and Communication Association, sarcastic, "This is not a block (hiding confirmed numbers), but a correction and return"; Ling Tao, a spokesperson for the office of the Kuomintang former New Taipei Mayor Zhu Lilun , mocked that playing with numbers like this, Chen Shizhong is simply comparable to a "digital management master."
