In an exclusive interview with a radio program yesterday, veteran musician Luo Deyu criticized the former president by name.Tsai Ing-Wen Vice President Xiao Meiqin and former supervisory deanChen Ju Others “don’t have children and aren’t married”, while those who have children “think a lot about the next generation.” Tsai Ing-wen responded via Facebook today. She said that she does not have children of her own, but that her biggest hope after being elected president is to “leave a better Taiwan” and that she will do her best to protect every child in Taiwan.
Tsai Ing-wen referred to Luo Deyu’s work “Childhood”. He said that this song has accompanied many Taiwanese people growing up. The song is about the loneliness of childhood, the hope of growing up, and the rainbow that can’t be created with watercolor crayons. Every child in Taiwan was once full of curiosity and imagination about the future, and they all looked forward to the day when they would grow up and live the life they wanted.
Tsai Ing-wen said, “I do not have children of my own, but the day I am elected president, my greatest hope is to ‘leave a better Taiwan’, so that every child in Taiwan can have a childhood where they do not have to live alone. So that children who are different do not have to be afraid because of their differences; so that every child who wants to grow up can feel free and love freely.”
Tsai Ing-wen said that the rainbow that could not be created with watercolors and crayons finally became part of Taiwan’s laws and every child’s life. They did their best to protect every child in Taiwan.
