Chen Shui-bian's true face 李敖 4441Words 2018-03-18
Li Qingyuan Ah Bian's "Various Changes" has been brought into full play in his performances. He has played "Superman, Song Qili, Michael Jackson" three different characters, as well as Cool Duck, Santa Claus, and Light Bulb Suit Show. After the sensational performance of the movie "Titanic", Ah Bian played the leading role "Leonardo Bian".In this way, he has won the hearts of many young people, but facing the leader's "presidential" position, it is worth pondering whether the person who wavers in words and deeds is suitable for the post.

Why does Chen Shui-bian's behavior style change so often?There is no way to test it, but if you want to understand Chen Shui-bian's transformation, it may be more difficult than understanding Monkey King. The reconstruction of the central party building of the Kuomintang is a typical example.I still remember that on January 20, 1995, Chen Shui-bian claimed that the whole case can be discussed through the participation of the whole people, and the decision can be made after a consensus is obtained.He also stressed that a public referendum on the case would not be ruled out. At the same time, the Taipei City Government also set up a so-called "Taipei City Government Kuomintang Central Committee Building Task Force", members of which included the heads of seven units of the city government and seven private members.On the surface, it seems that A-Bian handled this matter very democratically, taking into account the opinions of folk scholars and experts.Of course, whether the invited non-government members can be regarded as "experts" has long caused controversy.

However, this group of "private experts" was "collectively betrayed" by Chen Shui-bian in mid-May 1998, the year when Chen Shui-bian was under pressure to be re-elected as mayor, and before the tenth anniversary of Lee Teng-hui's inauguration as "President".Under the secret order of Chen Shui-bian, the seven units of the city government suddenly called a meeting. Three "civilian experts" who should not have known about it in advance were absent. Therefore, without a vote, the license for the new building of the Kuomintang was approved immediately. The four "folk experts" who attended were dumbfounded on the spot. Seeing that the deal was done, they gathered the other three absent "experts" afterwards to issue a statement "We do not want to endorse" in front of the new KMT building.

Ah Bian's change chilled the hearts of these "folk experts". Frankly speaking, they have already carried the cross of "lies" for Chen Shuibian.Not only did A-Bian not allow the citizens to participate in the decision of this case, but even a few experts, A-Bian deliberately deceived them. I don't know how embarrassing these experts who have endorsed A-Bian are? What made the citizens "foggy" was whether Chen Shui-bian would immediately run for the Democratic Progressive Party's "presidential" candidate primary election in mid-1999 after the election of the mayor, and then run for the "Presidential" primary election. president"?

The media has never been able to find an answer to this question, and even A-Bian's own answer has changed back and forth. On July 4, 1995, Chen Shui-bian said: "The 'President' in 2000 A.D. will be elected by a candidate from the Democratic Progressive Party. At that time, the DPP flag can be planted in the 'Presidential Palace'." The interpretation of the outside world at that time was Ah Bianhui is the candidate. In October 1995, facing the topic of being elected "president", he said, "I never thought about it, I never even dreamed about it!" However, no one would believe that Ah Bian hadn't thought about it.

And Chen Shimeng, the deputy mayor of Taipei City Affairs recruited by Chen Shui-bian, on the eve of his resignation in July 1997, predicted that Chen Shui-bian would rise to the next level and run for "president". On February 25, 1998, Chen Shui-bian announced that he would not run for the chairman of the party. Someone asked him if he would run for the next general election?A-Bian's reply was: "My mind is not very good, and I am short-sighted. I haven't thought about what will happen two years later." A-Bian claims to have a bad mind, but his staff members are very smart.Less than seven days after he finished speaking, his aides revealed that after Chen Shui-bian decided to seek re-election as mayor of Taipei, whether he will participate in the 2004 general election has become very variable. Let's talk about it in four years.

Apparently, A-Bian's mind is very good. Not only is he not short-sighted, but he is also hyperopic. He has seen what happened in the past two or four years.It’s just that A-Bian never imagined that he was defeated in the Taipei mayoral election at the end of 1998. As a result, A-Bian had to confront Xu Xinliang, the former chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party who had long been interested in running for the “President” and forced him to leave. Xu Xinliang won the nomination within the party, so the so-called "two or four years later" will no longer be said. Interestingly, the Central News Agency once reported Chen Shui-bian's statement: If he is re-elected mayor of Taipei, he will definitely serve his full term.As a result, A-Bian's spokesman Ma Yongcheng immediately came out to deny, saying: "Chen Shui-bian never said that he would definitely serve the full term of office. He only said that if he was re-elected, he hoped to serve the full term of office." After the mayoral election, he lost even the chance of "hope".

The gap between "absolute" and "hope" is full of Chen Shui-bian's "changes", and even full of mystery.Therefore, at that time, whether Chen Shui-bian would run for the "president" was suddenly in a fog. On June 14, 1998, Chen Shui-bian had the latest version. He declared to the folks in Taiwan in Los Angeles, the United States: "If I have the opportunity to be re-elected mayor of Taipei, I will serve until the end of my term as mayor." one day." At the same time that Chen Shui-bian said this, Lee Teng-hui pointed out in an exclusive interview with the US "Time Magazine" that he did not think that the DPP would be able to take power in the near future.At this time, Lee Teng-hui was still secretly operating the National Assembly to "amend the constitution" and "president" to extend his term, and he had not decided to hand over the post.

When Chen Shui-bian said such "changes", did he evaluate that the "presidential" election would be variable, and that it was impossible for the DPP to plant the party flag in the "presidential palace" in the year 2000 AD?Or he already had a tacit understanding with Lee Teng-hui in other ways to succeed him. These are all mysteries, the answer to which may only be known by A-Bian who loves "change". Chen Shui-bian's "change" also played a role in the "coalition cabinet" dispute within the DPP. I still remember that on December 5, 1997, Chen Shui-bian had a line dispute with Xu Xinliang, chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party. A Bian bitterly criticized Xu Xinliang for calling for the election of legislators. .He emphasized that this is "enhancing the ambition of the enemy and destroying one's own prestige." How can an ambitious leader be so lacking in ambition?

And when the chairman of the DPP was replaced by Lin Yixiong in June 1998, Lin Yixiong and Chen Shui-bian reached a consensus on the coalition cabinet. Chen Shui-bian emphasized that the DPP does not oppose the coalition cabinet, but it must be led by the DPP coalition cabinet. In fact, Chen Shui-bian's concept of coalition cabinet is not much different from Xu Xinliang's, because he and Xu Xinliang's party line is not in line with each other, and he opposed it for the sake of opposition. Now, it is Lin Yixiong, and Chen Shui-bian has a relationship with him. consensus". However, when it was said that Lee Teng-hui might partner with Chen Shui-bian in running for the "president" and vice-president, Chen Shui-bian's definition of "coalition cabinet" changed again.He said that the coalition target of the DPP is the "Founding Party".In fact, in the "Legislative Council" election at the end of 1998, the "Founding Party" could not even win a seat in the "Legislative Yuan". opportunity to govern.

Therefore, those who understand Chen Shui-bian's "changing" nature should interpret his words as follows: the DPP wants to unite with the "Founding Party" and "co-govern" with the Kuomintang. In the "Presidential" election in 2004, Ah Bian immediately embraced the "Founding Party" and "Taiwan Independence" activists, and shouted "Long live "Taiwan Independence"; "Taiwan independence", the two sides of the strait can have three links, and everyone can make a lot of money in stability. It seems that A-bian can have different ways of "changing" different people and things. Chen Shui-bian's "change" also made ordinary citizens suffer a lot. For example, regarding the construction of the underground shopping mall in Taipei, Chen Shui-bian made a promise to the relocated households at the beginning of his tenure that he would continue the plan of the former mayor Huang Dazhou. As a result, it didn't take long for Chen Shui-bian to return to his "changing" nature and renege on his promises. Lin Xianchong, president of the Association for the Promotion of the Rights and Interests of the Relocated Residents of the China Shopping Mall, criticized: A-Bian has not fulfilled any of his promises to the relocated households. He wonders who will believe in Chen Shui-bian's promises in the future? In addition, with regard to the demolition of No. 14 and No. 15 parks next to Linsen North Road in Taipei City, Chen Shui-bian promised to "build first and then demolish" during his election for mayor. Many people believed it and voted for A-Bian. In March, Chen Shui-bian "changed" to "build first and demolish later, never accept!" He also emphasized that if the residents want to force him to bow his head with drastic means, then he can only "not come here, not go!" Therefore, amidst the sound of protests, the strong A-bian first demolished the electric meters and public toilets that are closely related to the lives of residents.Then, in the process of forced demolition, a resident hanged himself because he had nowhere to go, causing social shock.This poor soul died in Ah Bian's "transformation". Ah Bian is in a hurry to demolish No. 14 and No. 15 parks. The name is for the city's appearance, but in fact it is just for the benefit of the surrounding financial groups, especially the Regent Hotel next to it.No wonder, when the park was completed, the demolition households visited their former residences in groups. They saw the beautifully decorated park, which contrasted with the luxurious Regent Hotel and Xinxin Department Store. It's just to build a "rich man's park" to make the consortium rich.What is especially puzzling is that the huge No. 14 and No. 15 parks are surrounded by heavy traffic and urgently need an underground parking lot, but A-bian never even thought about building a parking lot until he spent a huge amount of public money to build the beautiful park. After the completion, Ma Ying-jeou, the next mayor, re-planned and built an underground parking lot.So, if it is just to build a park, is it urgent enough to kill people? After A-Bian demolished the dilapidated households that had lived here for 40 to 50 years with an iron fist, one year later, 304 low-income households and more than 200 households were displaced from their hometowns. "Happiness, hope, Chen Shui-bian" and "Taipei's new hometown" became "sorrow, disappointment, and sad place in Taipei". There are two things in one thing. Chen Shui-bian violated his election promises. After demolishing No. 14 and No. 15 parks, in December 1997, in order to demolish the illegal construction of Ji Nanshan on Bei'an Road in Taipei City, it caused a A woman surnamed Ding hanged herself.The petty mayor in A-Bian's mouth "turned" into the "nemesis" of the petty bourgeois in his heart. This mentality was fully revealed in the process of Chen Shui-bian's insistence on abolishing public prostitution and completely disregarding the livelihood of vulnerable public prostitution. A-bian’s “changes” are sometimes conscious. For example, when he was a member of the Legislative Council, he asked Qian Mu, a master of Chinese studies, to move out of the “Sushu Building” on public land. Qian Mu felt humiliated and moved out of the “Sushu Building”. Hu Meiqi, Qian Mu's wife, said that Qian Mu was in a bad mood after moving, and soon died of depression. A generation of masters was ruined by Ah Bian's wish. On May 22, 1998, Ah Bian visited the Qian Mu Memorial Hall in Waisungai, and apologized to Mrs. Qian Mu for the questioning that year.Ah Bian can "change" into a sensible person, and it is indeed a good sign that he is willing to say sorry. However, if he wants to say sorry, he should have said it long ago. Why wait for so many years and announce that he will be re-elected as mayor before saying it.What's more, the master has already gone by the yellow crane, so what's the use of saying sorry? In addition, Ah Bian's "Taiwan independence" or "Taiwan independence view" is also changing in his mouth. Everyone knows that when Chen Shui-bian was a legislator, he kept saying "Taiwan should be independent", while the DPP's "Taiwan independence" In the process of updating the "Taiwan Independence Party Platform", Chen Shui-bian holds a heavy weight. However, the words "Taiwan independence" or "Taiwan independence" in Chen Shui-bian's mouth are changing randomly.Just like Vice "President" Lien Chan publicly criticized A-Bian on March 24, 1998, for "diverging". Compared with what Chen Shui-bian said, such as what he said earlier, "How can the DPP declare 'Taiwan independence'?" In 1995, the year before the general election, Chen Shui-bian said: "See if the DPP wants to campaign or hold elections? If it's a campaign, it can talk about 'Taiwan independence', but it's impossible to get elected; if it's an election If you want to win the election, you cannot talk about 'Taiwan independence'." This is the main reason why Chen Shui-bian did not talk about "Taiwan independence" in order to win the election when he ran for election in 2004. Three years after A-Bian said this, he declared: "The 'Taiwan Independence' referendum platform" is the highest guiding principle of the DPP. During A-Bian's visit to the United States in March 1998, he never talked about "Taiwan independence" and used the so-called "self-reliance, self-determination, and self-protection" as a package for the "'Taiwan independence' referendum party platform" Emphasize: "Although there is a referendum right, it does not mean that it will be exercised immediately." On June 15, 1998, A-Bian's visit to the United States said: "Taiwan, China, one country on each side."At this time, it even echoed Lee Teng-hui's "two-state theory." But after U.S. President Clinton visited China and proposed the "New Three No's" policy, including not supporting "Taiwan independence," A-bian, who had already announced his candidacy for re-election as mayor, said that "the issue of unification and independence must be discussed."He also uttered the sophistical tone of "no support does not mean opposition". From A-Bian's mouth, "Taiwan independence" all at once, "Taiwan independence" all at once, and "Taiwan independence" all at once.Changes come and go, and even the supporters of the DPP are confused and can't bear it. Ah Bian's "Various Changes" was brought into full play in the show.During the four years in power, he played the three-in-one characters of "Superman, Song Qili, and Michael Jackson"; the cover character "Tom Cruise Bian" of PEOPLE magazine; played "Cool Duck", "Santa Claus", and Water Polo Fight Chen Shui-bian in "Being Shuibian": "Black Hand", "Fruit Vendor", and "Scavenger" in "Looking for Taipei People"; and the painter Van Gogh and the light bulb suit show in early 1998.The ordinary citizens were dazzled by watching, and couldn't recognize the real Chen Shui-bian. Also, after the blockbuster performance of the movie "Titanic", A-Bian also played the leading role of "Leonardo Bian". Ah Bian has played too many roles!It's like wearing a black gauze hat to "jump to add an official"; a guest obstetrician and gynecologist is busy "delivering babies". Therefore, some people named "Chen Shui-bian" a "clown mayor".But Ah Bian smugly said, "I don't care". Indeed, as a mayor, changing into costumes, putting on a show, and entertaining the common people is also a manifestation of being close to the people, and there is nothing wrong with it.But the problem is that Ah Bian is diligent in showing off his "variety", fully revealing his changing nature.And these changing natures were more fully transferred to A-Bian's administration. Therefore, even if Sun Wukong, who can transform seventy-two, is reborn, I am afraid that he will be willing to worship A-Bian's transformation skills.
