During the National Day, the land of China is filled with festive and warm "China Red". Red flags are flying, flowers are in bloom, smiling faces are blooming, streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and the joy of the festival is blowing in our faces. The mountains and rivers are far and wide, the world is full of fireworks, and everything you can see is China. From east to west, from south to north, every five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and every smiling face is filled with pride. This is the most affectionate confession of hundreds of millions of Chinese people to the motherland.

A red flag has carried the original intention for 77 years and continued to serve as the fuel of the Long March for 90 years, illuminating the new journey of Chinese modernization. During the National Day, the national flag flying in the streets and alleys is not only a festive scenery, but also a spiritual call that travels through time and space. When I looked up and saw the red, the emotion that surged in my heart included the weight of history, as well as the fireworks and warmth of the present. Generations of ancestors dyed the flag red with their blood, leaving hope to those who came after. The red glory is never a static mark, but a faith that needs to be protected by generations of people. Now, the baton is in our hands, and this red color still inspires people to move forward. "China Red" inspires hundreds of millions of Chinese people to cherish their country and their country, work hard, work together, and move forward side by side to build a better future together.

That "China red" is the "national flag red" with unwavering faith. "Family is the smallest country, and a country is like thousands of families." The feelings of family and country have never been an abstract slogan, but an emotional identity deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese people, and a profound force that inspires countless people to move forward. On October 1st every year, countless people watch with bated breath in Tiananmen Square to witness the five-star red flag rising together with the morning sun. From urban squares to rural courtyards, from mountain and sea scenic spots to construction sites, and then to the blue sea, various places use the solemn ceremony of "raising the same flag" to spread their deep blessings for the motherland in every corner. The dazzling "China Red" has therefore become the most moving background of this National Day, and has also inspired more than 1.4 billion people to move forward firmly towards the same goal.

That touch of "Chinese red" is the "cultural red" that unites people's hearts. Every aspect of China is renewed during the festival. What comes across is not only the festive and warm red atmosphere, but also the unique charm of China’s excellent traditional culture blooming in the new era. Red has long been integrated into the blood of national culture, becoming the common spiritual background of all Chinese people and a spiritual bond for unity and progress. It is hidden in the common feelings of family and country among the Chinese people. It does not require many words. As long as you raise your eyes and see it, it can arouse the resonance in your heart. From the perseverance of faith in the war years to the watching of tens of thousands of fireworks in the peaceful years, this "cultural red" gathers people's hearts, warms their hearts, and strengthens their confidence, allowing thousands of ordinary people to have the same sense of spiritual belonging, thinking in one place, working hard in one place, and gathering the majestic power to move forward.

Time belongs to those who strive for progress, and history also belongs to those who strive for progress. The “Chinese Red” that has been passed down for hundreds of years and lasts forever has always illuminated the way forward and continued to inspire the power of progress. It may present different styles in different scenes, but it always condenses the common feelings of family and country and guides the same direction. On the new journey, hundreds of millions of Chinese people should use faith as the sail, unity as the oar, and struggle as the rudder, turn red sentiments into the driving force for entrepreneurship, hold on to responsibilities in ordinary positions, work hard on the road of national rejuvenation, continue to glory through struggle, and let "China Red" always shine at the forefront of the times.

Lee Ming-hsien talks about the Taipei mayoral election: Attack and defense on drug issues are still a front-line battle, and Shen Boyang's "Ocean Current" is hardly as thick as the "Korean Wave" in 2018

Taipei City Councilor Lee Ming-hsien of the KMT revealed in a political commentary program that he saw in the council members’ internal group that a council member first posted Shen Boyang’s drug-related article from 12 years ago, but it was unclear who found it in the first place. He believes that the current attack and defense of Jiang Wanan and Shen Boyang on the drug issue is still a "call for battle before the battle" in the early stage of the election campaign, and the formal battle has yet to be discussed in the follow-up. Li Mingxian analyzed that the election campaign needs to take into account both the basic base and the median voters, and Jiang Wanan is building an organizational base. As for Shen Boyang's so-called "ocean current", he believes that its political cohesion is different from the "Korean Wave" in 2018. There is still a gap in thickness and penetration, and the momentum has both natural and human factors.
