The combined Wang Weizhong responded for the first time! Tsai Kang-yong admits that the political storm "brings huge losses": he doesn't care about losing his reputation

Artist Tsai Kang-yong recently attended the inauguration meeting of Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters, which attracted great attention from the society. He aired today (29th) on the China Broadcasting Network program "Hey!" Where did I say it? 》accepted an exclusive interview with host Wang Weizhong and responded directly to the recent controversy for the first time. Cai Kangyong confirmed that one of the reasons that prompted him to come forward was the law enforcement controversy caused by the Beijing City police's search of Ximending gay bar in early October.

As the gay parade is about to take place this Saturday, the Taipei City Government once again publicly apologized today for the Wanhua branch police's search of a gay bar. As a public figure who came out publicly in his early years, Tsai Kangyong showed a strong sense of mission for gender equality in interviews. He bluntly said: "Who else in the Chinese-speaking world is as serious about coming out as I am?" He also said that although he has become the biggest target of multi-gender issues, he also hopes to prove that gays can also live a good life.

Tsai Kang-yong said with some emotion that society has finally come to a time when gays are no longer considered a bullyable or dirty group. The Ximending bar incident made it impossible for him to stay out of the incident. "You can't expect me to watch everything go back to the past before I die." He stressed that if he didn't care, should he let 17- and 18-year-olds continue to be oppressed?

In response to the recent boycott from the other side of the Taiwan Strait due to his political stance and the forced suspension of business activities, Tsai Kangyong admitted that the losses were indeed quite serious. Although the process was painful, his current mentality has been adjusted well. He bluntly said that he didn't care whether he was "in ruins", and he didn't like to shrink back in order to maintain the status quo, because that would only make his life gradually wither.

Regarding the regret and pain in his heart, Cai Kangyong said that he mainly "owed too much to his fans" and believed that before suddenly disappearing, he should at least explain something and express his gratitude to his supporters. He is grateful for the valuable experience that the Chinese market has given him in the past, but he also faces the current situation calmly: "When fate comes, it will come."

In addition to Shen Boyang, Cai Kangyong also attended the founding meeting of Jiang Wanan. Talking about Taiwan's electoral ecology, he said with emotion that Taiwan faces an election every two years. If it is mired in loud noises and confrontations every time, it will be difficult for the people to feel happy. "Do we have to allow the election campaign to always be at war with each other and hurt each other?" He hopes to see some people "discussing the facts and being cheerful and rational" during the election. If this approach can be successful, future candidates will believe that there are different choices.

Tsai Kang-yong finally emphasized that even though he may have to pay a small price in terms of reputation, property and influence because of this incident, as long as more people can believe that "elections do not require red eyes" and as long as 2 to 3 people out of 100 candidates are willing to believe and change, then his ruined fame and fortune will be of value and the seeds of changing Taiwan's electoral culture will be sown.
