Sour Luo Dayou stays in 1990 Lu Qiuyuan: stubborn and unwilling to leave

Veteran musician Luo Dayou recently hosted Tang Xianglong's "Flying Saucer Breakfast" to criticize the Democratic Progressive Party and criticize Taiwan's declining cultural standards. He also questioned some arts and cultural workers for moving closer to the ruling party for government subsidies and lamented the lack of freedom of speech in Taiwan. Related remarks caused controversy.

Internet celebrity lawyer Lu Qiuyuan posted a comment on the matter on Facebook today (11th), saying that Luo Dayou is not a so-called "foreigner". His father is a Hakka from Miaoli and his mother is from Tainan. "However, he sincerely uses the label of a foreigner that has long been discarded by Taiwanese society. Whether it is self-pity or hurting others, his anger may come from being abandoned outside of time and generations. He cannot understand today's music and cannot understand the current atmosphere."

Lu Qiuyuan believes that Luo Dayou has not changed from the beginning to the end. "He is originally a conservative person who refuses to change. From 1980's "Childhood", "Lukang Town", "Love Song 1980", "Phenomena 72 Changes", he has been criticizing the present to save the past. We think the conservatism in 1980 is very progressive, but the conservatism in 2026 is already too conservative."

The past has really passed. Lu Qiuyuan lamented that Luo Dayou was just a helpless time and space traveler. He had no choice but to curse the era that ruthlessly abandoned him in Tang Xianglong's show. He finally said: "Thank you Luo Dayou for the memories you gave me, but you are still stuck in 1990 and stubbornly unwilling to leave. Now it is 2026, I have to move forward."
