According to Taiwanese media reports, the historical drama "Scarlo" filmed by Taiwan Public Television was hit on the premiere last Saturday, breaking the record for the premiere of Public Television in 21 years. Because of the French-American Li Xian's role, the historical positioning is quite controversial. After the play was broadcast, the drama immediately sparked discussions from all walks of life. Not only did the writer Yang Ducai's literary and artistic creation not change history and the public view was regarded as a soundtrack in the green camp, but the Kuomintang Discipline Inspection Association also criticized the drama for "taking Taiwanese traitors as heroes". The non-party "legislator" Gao Jinsumei also believed that the drama was "against again to the massacred ethnic minorities." In this regard, some netizens believe: "The DPP is brainwashing again."
Yang Du posted on Facebook on the 13th that "Scarlo" uses Chen Yaochang's novel "Puppet Flower" as the original work. Li Xian in the novel is regarded as the heroic protagonist, but in reality, he is a traitor. He betrayed the trust and commitment of Taiwan's ethnic minority in him, guiding the Japanese army to massacre the indigenous people. Yang even criticized him hard: "I don't know how Gongsi photographed it, but heroizing Li Xian is simply an insult to the massacred ethnic minorities. And it is a trampling on the dignity of the betrayed Taiwanese."
This article received a warm resounding response. The Kuomintang Discipline Inspection Association, the Kuomintang Central Committee Ye Qingyuan and Taiwan’s ethnic minority “legislator” Gao Jinsumei both forwarded this article on Facebook . Ye Qingyuan wrote: "Taiwanese traitors are regarded as heroes, and then tamper with history to praise them. It seems to be the characteristic of the Taiwan faction?" Gao Jin specially emphasized the passage of Yang Du's article, emphasizing that Li Xian had to hurt the indigenous people, and posted it on his Facebook to show his emphasis and anger.
After Gao Jinsumei's article was published, it received more than 4,400 likes, more than 280 comments and more than 110 sharings. Netizens said: "The DPP is brainwashing again", "Why are Taiwanese ethnic minority compatriots condoning the DPP's brainwashing style of falsification in history? Taiwanese ethnic minority compatriots suffered the most severe persecution during the Japanese colonial period, but repeatedly condoning the blood and tears of their ancestors to be falsified without protesting."
