After the demolition personnel entered, the machine first destroyed the flagpole that hung the five-star red flag.
Changhua County Biyun Zen Temple was changed to a "patriotic education base" by builder Wei Mingren, and a five-star red flag was raised. The county government under the rule of the DPP arranged for the demolition of the machinery on the 26th on the grounds of "illegal construction".
According to the "United News Network", at 8 a.m. that day, Wei Mingren and his supporters held the last ceremony of raising the five-star red flag, then lowered the flag and left with the flag; at around 10 a.m., the demolition personnel entered the building for the final confirmation, and then the equipment destroyed the flagpole that hung the five-star red flag first.

reported that Changhua County dispatched thousands of staff, and the demolition area is expected to exceed 5,000 square meters. Deputy County Mayor Lin Mingyu claimed that all demolition will be completed in one week and also asked Wei Mingren to pay about NT$5 million in demolition fee. htmlOn the 426th, 600 police officers were dispatched to implement three-level controls, and will support or oppose the people to stop them from outside.
, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, An Fengshan, responded on the 26th that this exposed that some people of the DPP were willing to condone "Taiwan independence" separatist activities while cracking down on and persecuting Taiwanese people who advocate unification. This practice will surely be jointly opposed and condemned by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
