Former Taiwan leader Lee Teng-hui died of illness at 19:24 pm on July 30, 2020. After the news came out, the reactions of mainland netizens can be summarized as "One is finally, two are a pity." There is no need to explain the word "finally", after all, Lee Teng-hui has been "dead" too many times in recent years; "two pitys" is one of "it's a pity that he didn't see the unification of the cross-strait", and the other is "it's a pity that he didn't make him publicly trial."
According to Chinese traditional culture, "the dead are the most important", we should have compassion for the death of an old man. But Lee Teng-hui's personal affairs are far from being summarized by the identity of an "old man". In the hearts of the Chinese, Lee Teng-hui has become synonymous with "traitors" and "Taiwan independence", and is also the "party traitor" in the eyes of Taiwanese unificationists. A Taiwanese leader who can say that "Diaoyutai's sovereignty belongs to Japan" is destined to be a sinner who will never be forgiven by the Chinese nation.
In his later years, Chiang Ching-kuo wanted to promote the province to take on important positions in order to consolidate the rationality of the Kuomintang's rule in Taiwan. Lee Teng-hui, who was a man with his tail, seized the opportunity and took over the political authority on the island a hundred years later. A journey of "Taiwan independence" under the disguise of "localization" in the name of "democracy", has been under the calculation of Lee Teng-hui. Since then, Lee Teng-hui first launched a dispute between mainstream and non-mainstream within the Kuomintang, forcing young and strong elites from other provinces to leave, and dismember the Kuomintang for the first time; at the same time, he supported the Democratic Progressive Party to grow bigger, and through the democratic election mechanism, he created political soil for the Democratic Progressive Party, so that the Democratic Progressive Party can gradually have the energy to challenge the Kuomintang. After that, he quickly "freezes the province" and "abandons Song" in the 2000 election, dismembers the Kuomintang for the second time, secretly helping Chen Shui-bian to take office.
Since then, while Taiwan society is trapped in a party dispute that never has peace, the great Chinese historical view and great Chinese sentiment left behind by the "Two Chiang Dynasty" have been gradually eroded by Lee Teng-hui and his followers of the "Taiwan independence" line with the "Taiwan independence historical view" dressed in the cloak of "localization and democracy". The fierce struggle of blue and green and ethnic opposition have become wounds that Taiwanese society can no longer completely retouch. Lee Teng-hui, with his own selfishness, dragged Taiwan into the dead end of "Taiwan independence" like a cliff, in order to satisfy his personal desires and ambitions for politics.
Lee Teng-hui perfectly interprets what politicians do by doing whatever they want to achieve their goals.
Lee Teng-hui is the biggest behind the "Taiwan independence". During his reign, under the guise of democratization and "localization", he carried out many "constitutional amendments" and transformed the "one China constitutional system" of the original "Two Chiang period" to help him exclude dissidents and monopolize power. The consequences of these to Taiwan are that they will slide towards "real Taiwan independence" more and more.
In addition, during Lee Teng-hui's term, Taiwan's education began to be "de-Sinicized", poisoning several generations of Taiwanese youth, and some people followed him on the evil path of "Taiwan independence".
In July 2017, Taiwanese media conducted online votes under the title "Historical Trial! Who is the Sinner of Taiwan's Development?", allowing netizens on the island to vote for the "Sinner of Taiwan's History" in their minds, and Lee Teng-hui ranked first.
Of course, there are many people on the island who sing praises to Lee Teng-hui. Without exception, this group of people were all "Taiwan independence" politicians who grew up drinking the milk sent by Lee Teng-hui. They all climbed up along the "Taiwan Democracy" chaos. Without Lee Teng-hui, there would be no political stage for this group of people. Lee Teng-hui died of illness. The group of people wailed and sighed symbolically, which was also a little reward for the so-called "grace of knowing the grace of knowing the encounter".
Former Chairman of the Kuomintang Hong Hsiu-chu said that he hopes that Lee Teng-hui's death will represent the end of an era of Taiwan's chaotic value era. The "Taiwan independence" promoted by Lee Teng-hui failed to succeed during his lifetime and could not succeed; as Lee Teng-hui died of illness, the chaotic "political legacy" he left to Taiwan, as Hung Hsiu-chu said, is time to end. Followers of Lee Teng-hui’s “Taiwan independence” route must recognize the reality. The strength comparison between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has undergone irreversible changes. Here, we should try our best to emphasize again that “Taiwan independence” is definitely a path to no return.
The glorious history has and will continue to prove that those who sell out national interests will never end up being nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
