Zhuo Rongtai said that Li Yang specifically asked for leave from the Executive Yuan this time to express his intention to accompany the team throughout the Asian Games. "But because the Legislative Yuan will hold a meeting on September 29, all cabinet teams must attend the meeting on the day, so he asked me what to do. I asked him, "Do you want to come back or stay in Japan?" and he said he wanted to accompany everyone. I told him, "Then come back together after you win the gold medal." He really led the team wholeheartedly this time, including the relay station, logistics, medical care and other aspects.
