In the past week, Pelosi's visit to Taiwan has attracted the attention of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, three places and even the whole world. Faced with the warning of restraint in mainland China, Tsai Ing-wen openly clamored to use the semiconductor industry as a bargaining chip to make Taiwan a vanguard against mainland China and act as the "pawn" of the US strategy to contain China.
However, Taiwan still has relatively clear-headed politicians. Ms. Zheng Liwen, the "legislator" of the Kuomintang, said bluntly in an interview with reporters: "The United States uses Taiwan to stimulate China in order to cause conflicts between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and it is a way to reap the benefits behind the scenes."
"Once the war on the Taiwan Strait begins, the economy of mainland China will retreat for 30 years, and Taiwan will also pay a devastating price for this." Zheng Liwen's speech is worthy, but it also shows the narrow vision of Taiwanese politicians looking at the sky from a well!
Aspiring to be in politics
Zheng Liwen was born in 1969 in a military village in Taipei County, Taiwan Province. The military village has a very special status in Taipei. It was specially built for mainland soldiers after the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, in order to allow these soldiers to live in Taiwan with peace of mind. Zheng Liwen's father is a retired soldier and his mother is a native of Taiwan.
inherited her father's tall genes and her mother's dignity and grace. Zheng Liwen was 1.78 meters tall when she was less than 18 years old. With her beautiful face, she has been the most eye-catching existence in the crowd since her school days.
's superior appearance makes people think that she is a vase that can only be seen from afar, but in fact, Zheng Liwen graduated from Taiwan University with a bachelor's degree and is the "first institution of Taiwan". ranks 68 in the QS world university rankings .
The law department of Taiwan University where she studied has trained many Taiwanese politicians, which has a great impact on both political and legal classes in Taiwan.
During the university period, Zheng Liwen showed his extremely high leadership talent. At that time, the student movement in Taiwan was in full swing. Zheng Liwen and several friends participated in the "Wild Lily Student Movement". At the same time, he also ran for the position of president of the "University Forum" of Taiwan University and organized the "New Generation National Security Forum" as the initiator. He was the leader in the Taiwan student movement at that time.
This experience made Zheng Liwen strengthen her belief in politics. She also took the initiative to contact the DPP and organized students to participate in the DPP march.
At this time, Zheng Liwen was in line with the trendy faction of the DPP and also made a public speech criticizing that "the Kuomintang is the most hateful ruling class."
In many activities, as long as Zheng Liwen is present, people can find a gentle boy standing beside her. This person is Luo Wuchang, who later went on a long-distance relationship with Zheng Liwen for 24 years and then married in a low-key manner.
Luo Wuchang is a student of the Department of Politics at National Taiwan University. At the same time as Zheng Liwen, during an election campaign, Zheng Liwen noticed Luo Wuchang, who was originally his opponent. After contacting , they found that they had the same ideas and complementary temperaments, and quickly confirmed their relationship with each other.
Traditional Taiwanese politicians usually join the party directly after graduating from college and are active in various public activities in order to increase their political age, while Zheng Liwen takes a longer-term vision. After graduating from university, she went to Temple University in Philadelphia, USA to continue her master's degree in law, while enriching her understanding of Western political philosophy.
While studying in the United States, Zheng Liwen's exquisite and tall Chinese appearance attracted the attention of the fashion circle. Dozens of star scouts had asked her for school before and later. wanted to sign her as a professional model with generous treatment, but they were all rejected by Zheng Liwen without hesitation.
was excluded
After graduating from Temple University, Zheng Liwen resolutely returned to Taiwan and joined the DPP with the dual advantages of eloquence and beautiful appearance, becoming the storefront that many bigwigs in the party at that time.
In March 1996, Zheng Liwen, who was only 27 years old, was elected as the representative of the third National Congress of the DPP. At the same time, she participated in the revision of Taiwan’s Constitution as the convener of the DPP’s constitutional reform group.
In 1999, Zheng Liwen began to host a political review interview program - "Two Pants in the Fire Line" .
The political arena of various countries has always been mostly male. This show invited two beautiful politicians to be hosted in order to create contrast, one of which is Zheng Liwen.
has sharp words and novel opinions. Many politicians invited by Zheng Liwen to participate in the show have been criticized by her incisively. Zheng Liwen also became popular overnight in Taiwan through this show and became a household name female politician.
The political model of determining victory and defeat by votes made Zheng Liwen, who became famous, the hottest newcomer in the Democratic Progressive Party. At this time, Chen Shui-bian prepared for the general election in 2000, and Zheng Liwen was discovered by him and became the core operating figure of the election propaganda team.
Chen Shui-bian took a fancy to Zheng Liwen's ability, and Zheng Liwen regarded this election as a key stepping stone for his own progress. The two of them had their own goals and took their own needs. After working hard for several months, Chen Shui-bian was successfully elected as the leader of Taiwan, and Zheng Liwen also rose to prominence and served as deputy director of the Youth Department.
Zheng Liwen, who is only 31 years old at this time, is already considered a young politician with a high influence in Taiwan's political arena. If nothing unexpected happens, she is likely to squeeze into the core member of the Democratic Progressive Party before she is forty.
However, just two years later, she was suddenly excluded by the whole party. She changed her previous attitude of scolding the Kuomintang and praising the Democratic Progressive Party, and turned into the Kuomintang's "pan-blue camp" in anger.
It turned out that shortly after joining the DPP, Zheng Liwen wanted to run for a position in the legislative body, but because some of the ideas she proposed were inconsistent with Chen Shui-bian, he did not get a nomination within the party. After this, although Zheng Liwen still criticized the Kuomintang in public, she began to question some of the DPP's practices in her heart.
In October 2002, Tu Xingzhe, an important member of the DPP and Minister of Health, was exposed to be "indecent". Some people accused him of "limbing ears" against strangers in entertainment venues. The scandal was later called the "limbing ear case". Zheng Liwen, who had been in charge of "two beauties on the line of fire" at that time, naturally expressed her views on this matter.
Tu Xingzhe naturally strongly denied this matter, saying that someone maliciously framed it. The DPP also publicly expressed its support for Tu Xingzhe, but Zheng Liwen did the opposite in the show. Not only did she not help Tu Xingzhe cover it up, she also specifically said some ambiguous words to make the public speculate. After the
program was broadcast, Tu Xingzhe was indeed attacked, and some past black materials were also exposed. However, after the rumors, it was not Tu Xingzhe who lost the black hat , but Zheng Liwen. She was directly expelled from the Democratic Progressive Party by .
breaks from green to blue
with the DPP, which is the first time Zheng Liwen has encountered a major setback since entering politics.
Although she was revoked, she did not give up her political ambitions. Instead, she continued to host her own program and applied for a doctorate degree in international relations from the University of Cambridge, UK. For a year after
, Zheng Liwen seemed to have disappeared and did not attend any public political activities.
KO In March 2004, the "Pan Blue Camp" held a protest against the "Presidential Election Injustice" event on Kaida Gran Avenue, Zhongzheng District, Taipei. Zheng Liwen and the famous Taiwanese peasant movement poet Zhan Che made a public appearance and co-hosted it.
"Blue and Green Camp" evolved from the party flags of the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party. The Kuomintang flag is blue and the Democratic Progressive Party flag is green. He presided over this protest, which is Zheng Liwen's official "supporting the blue".
At the beginning, she criticized the Kuomintang for nothing on the show, but now she shows signs of joining the Kuomintang camp, which has caused all kinds of ridicule among colleagues of the DPP, and some conspired to question her intentions.
As the saying goes, "The whole picture is unknown, so I will not comment." After deeply participating in the DPP, Zheng Liwen saw a disgusting side from some politicians, which forced her to revisit her former political belief .
. While studying in the UK, she re-reached the Kuomintang through the introduction of her friend, senior journalist Chen Fengxin and professor Zhang Linzheng at the National Taiwan University, and met Comrade Lien Zhan who was the chairman of the Kuomintang at that time.
Before publicly "super blue", Zheng Liwen asked someone to pass on a letter to Lien Chan .
At this time, Taiwan will usher in a new round of leadership elections. Zheng Liwen expressed her views on the Kuomintang’s electoral layout in the letter and hoped that Lien Chan could carry out certain reforms.
originally thought that his proposal would not be taken seriously, but unexpectedly, just three days later, Zheng Liwen received a reply from Lien Chan. In the letter, it not only invited her to meet, but also asked Zheng Liwen to list a reform list so that his subordinates could do as they did.
In the following time, Zheng Liwen completely changed her previous views through contact with the Kuomintang members .
Although the Kuomintang has strong strength in its early years, the "black gold politics" with the weak Jiang family and the interweaving of politics and the underworld triggered public protests. The Kuomintang has gone through years of painful reforms to find the right path and always adhere to the one-China policy.
After meeting Lien Chan and his wife, Zheng Liwen quickly realized that only the Kuomintang can do it to change Taiwan and bring hope to the people of Taiwan.
In January 2005, under the introduction of Lien Chan and then the Kuomintang Secretary-General Lin Fengzheng, she officially joined the Kuomintang and served as the spokesperson and deputy chairman of the Kuomintang's "Cultural and Communication Conference".
Gold Medal
After joining the Kuomintang, Zheng Liwen made great contributions to reshaping the image of the Kuomintang, , which includes the turnaround "2.28 Incident" .
On February 28, 1947, the Kuomintang was still Taiwan’s only “hegemony” at this time. A police officer shot and killed innocent people in Taipei and triggered protests, but it caused strong suppression by the authorities, causing a vicious turbulent incident that lasted for more than half a month and killed and injured 15,000 to 20,000 people.
In order to gain a foothold, the DPP has added fuel to the fire of the "2.28 incident" and advocated it as a ridiculous remark that "Taiwanese are dissatisfied with the Kuomintang's foreign regime", and has repeatedly lobbyed and brainwashed on major speech occasions to deceive the "light green voters" with unknown history.
Zheng Liwen found a survivor and planned a public interview to positively positively the image of the Kuomintang’s “reactionaries” and successfully gained the trust of a large number of people, laying the foundation for the later victory of the Kuomintang’s Ma Ying-jeou’s election.
In order to help the Kuomintang win over voters, Zheng Liwen showed no mercy to her former boss Chen Shui-bian.
She combined Chen Shui-bian's avatar and money, so that the public could think of Chen Shui-bian's image of corruption at a glance. This trick really made all voters who hate corruption turn to Ma Ying-jeou.
Political sensitivity is complemented by a unique star temperament, which has allowed Zheng Liwen to make great achievements in the image propaganda of the Kuomintang.
She used the cool posture of Yang Family female player " Yang Bajie " and added sandals to appear at an event, which made the atmosphere instantly climax; when attending Lien Chan's resignation party, she imitated the plot in the movie "Chicago" and danced for Lien Chan, allowing the people to see a people-friendly political party.
In 2020, Zheng Liwen was elected as a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, and a video about her that did not repeat for thirty minutes and cursed Su Zhenchang, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", really made Zheng Liwen completely popular on the entire network.
She pointed at Su Zhenchang and cursed: "If the mainland fights, I'm afraid that the first one will surrender will be you, and the second one will be Tsai Ing-wen!"
Because she was born in the "pan-green camp" in her early years, she later turned to join the Kuomintang and held an important position. The controversy about Zheng Liwen never stopped.
But time flies, Zheng Liwen has now become the third leader in the Kuomintang except for Ma Ying-jeou and winning streak (Son of Lien Chan) , and is also the most experienced "gold medal celebrity" in Taiwan, no doubt.
August 2, 2022, Pelosi fleeing, the DPP believes that the United States will provide so-called "protection" and openly clamors to the mainland for provocation.
At this time, Zheng Liwen, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, also revealed the internal policies of the Kuomintang in recent years: "maintain the status quo, neither unified nor alone nor force."
According to Zheng Liwen, "Once war begins, the mainland will be restrained by most of its national strength, the economy will regress for 30 years, and Taiwan will also fall into a desperate situation, while the United States will watch the fire from the other side of the river and reap the benefits of the fisherman."
But Zheng Liwen obviously underestimated the strength of the mainland, and also overestimated Taiwan's true status between the mainland and the United States.
Not to mention that Taiwan is China's territory, Taiwan's affairs are China's internal affairs. Even if the DPP and others call for countless Pelosi support, when the critical moment comes, the United States will only escape and decisively give up Taiwan.
In Taiwan's harsh political environment, it is rare for Zheng Liwen to realize that the United States regards Taiwan as cannon fodder. The Kuomintang has been adopting a "no action" policy in recent years, believing that the best way for the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to be peaceful.
But the historical trend is irreversible. The mainland will always be Taiwan’s deepest background and the only reliable background in Taiwan!
