Chapter 20 Section 18 provides a further explanation of A-Bian's talk on Li Ao

Li Ao On Friday, December 3rd, the fourth edition of "Taiwan Times" "Special Report on the Road to 'President'" featured Chen Shui-bian, the "Presidential" candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, and published Chen Shui-bian's remarks on suppressing freedom of speech that year: "Mr. James Soong shifted the responsibility to the police headquarters. This kind of lie can hide the truth from the world, but it can't hide it from Li Ao, who is world-class in data collection (collection). According to a meeting record between the Information Bureau and the Police Headquarters presented by Li Ao, Soong Chuyu once In the internal meeting of 'Current Cultural Inspection Work Review', Chen Shoushan, Commander-in-Chief of the Police, said, 'I am deeply grateful for the excellent performance of the cultural inspection work led by the Police Headquarters'. Obviously, even if the main culprit is the police Rather than the Information Bureau, Mr. James Soong is at least a 'conspiracy' and an 'accomplice'."

After reading A-Bian’s talk, I think he is correct in admiring Li Ao’s “world-class kung fu” and he is also correct in his identification of James Soong’s “conspiracy” and “accomplice”. But what I have doubts about is Well, the Democratic Progressive Party that A-Bian belongs to is obviously using incorrect means to elevate itself and fight James Soong. This incorrect method of exalting oneself and fighting against Soong Chuyu is actively manifested in two phenomena of "general households": first, among the political criminal cases in Taiwan, there are at least 29,407 officially recognized However, today it is always settled on the single case of "Former Island Case", leaving aside the other 29,406 political cases.Moreover, what is especially incorrect is that the total ownership of the "Former Island case" is not attributed to the defendant, but to the lawyer. This is ridiculous, so what we see every day is actually the "Former Island case". "Case" lawyers (such as Chen Shui-bian, Su Zhenchang, Xie Changting, Zhang Junxiong, You Qing, Guo Jiren, etc.), but ignored the defendants who really suffered and went to jail. This is wrong.Second, when he suppressed freedom of speech back then, Chen Shui-bian believed that James Soong was an "accomplice" and "accomplice", but now the "Beautiful Island Lawyers Group" including himself, jointly "bombed the killer Song" and made everything It is also wrong to put the blame on Soong Chuyu alone.In Chinese history, there is a practice of "all the evil in the world returns to it". This time, the "Former Island Lawyers Group" has really received the true inheritance of the great Chinese culture of fighting stink.But this way of doing it is to conduct elections, not to discover the truth. Not only will Soong Chuyu be unconvinced, but even Li Ao, who A-Bian said is "world-class in data collection (collection)", will also be unconvinced.I, Li Ao, agree to attack the enemy, but it is not allowed to attack the enemy by distorting the truth.
