Turned green by Luo Dayou! Ma Shifang responded by reciting the Divine Comedy from 42 years ago and complained that he did not rely on political parties to make a living.

[Reporter Fu Mingyu/Report from Taipei] On the 10th, the 72-year-old "Godfather of Music" Luo Dayou appeared on the "Flying Saucer Breakfast" hosted by Tang Xianglong and publicly named the musician Ma Shifang, asking "How did you become so green?" He even linked his political stance to his livelihood, and criticized Minister of Culture Ono for "not being able to guarantee the evening festival." Related remarks sparked heated discussions.

Although Ma Shifang, who was called out, did not respond directly, he posted two intriguing posts on the social media. He not only quoted Luo Dayou's lyrics from 42 years ago, but also emphasized that he "does not rely on political parties to make a living", which aroused the outside world's imagination.

Luo Dayou talked about Taiwan's cultural environment in the program, questioned the relationship between cultural workers, politics and subsidies, and suddenly named Ma Shifang: "How did our good friend Ma Shifang become so green?" He even said more bluntly: "Ma Shifang, you are not such a person. How could it be like this?" Host Tang Xianglong also responded: "Because in that circle, everyone knows where the money comes from." His remarks caused controversy.

Faced with Luo Dayou's public questioning, Ma Shifang did not directly fight back. Instead, he quoted Luo Dayou's 1984 song "Things I Can't Understand" in the community. Based on the works written by Luo Dayou when he was young, in response to Luo Dayou today, the song selection and the timing of posting are particularly intriguing.

Ma Shifang later posted a post about being a business partner, writing: "I don't seek office, I don't fight for power, I don't rely on political parties to make a living. I do odd jobs here and there, sell some small things that I like, and earn a little profit. This is my little lucky life as a literary youth leader!" The seemingly relaxed and self-deprecating text echoes Luo Dayou's doubts about his livelihood and political stance in the show, leaving a lot of room for interpretation.
