Huang Yihao expressed his sentiments on Facebook: "I wish Taiwan will always be a free Taiwan and a Taiwan where everyone can speak freely." When he was interviewed, he shared that he has been doing cross talk for 20 years, and this is not the first time that he has targeted Xi Jinping.

Unexpectedly, the video of the performance unexpectedly became popular overseas last year, which resulted in a personal safety crisis. Even he did not expect it. "At that time, it was removed by the anti-communist channel, and the key traffic was not mine."
He admitted that when he first wrote the relevant jokes, he simply thought it was fun. "I did it just for fun, and I didn't think too much about it." After the incident, he once thought about not touching this subject again, but then gave up the idea, "I don't want the other party to think that "violence is useful," so I think we will continue to do the next show."
Huang Yihao said that he has not received any threats or being followed so far. He will perform as usual at the "Original Abnormality" at Ximen Red House on November 28th and 29th. Tickets are still available for purchase. He also shared that there will be performances on January 10th and 16th next year.
