Font size

Senior musician Luo Dayou recently accepted an exclusive interview, but he provoked provincial confrontation, claiming that "people from other provinces have been bullied badly enough!" Unexpectedly, former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang would jump out and complain. Luo Dayou is obviously from this province, but the issue of provincial citizenship has long been no longer an issue. Everyone lives on the same boat as Taiwan.

Luo Dayou accepted a radio interview with media person Tang Xianglong on Tuesday (10th). When talking about the nine-in-one general election, he suddenly started to hype up the provincial sentiment, shouting, "People from other provinces are being bullied badly now. If we don't vote this time, we will really be doomed."

In this regard, Zhao Shaokang said in a joint interview with the media on the 11th, "I checked Luo Dayou and found that he is a Hakka from this province. His father is a Hakka, so he is also from this province. His mother is also from this province, and he is not from other provinces. He may have seen certain phenomena, because the second, third, and even first generation from other provinces came to Taiwan with no ancestral property and empty-handed, so in this case, it is of course more difficult to struggle."

He continued: "In Taiwanese society, the issue of provincial citizenship is slowly getting smaller and smaller. Everyone living in Taiwan is actually in the same boat. No matter what, we must understand and tolerate each other, and then work together. I think this is the only way out, and there is no other way to go."

After Zhao Shaokang's speech was exposed, it sparked heated discussions. "He was the one who fought the most fiercely in the past. The amazing thing is that even Zhao Shaokang gave up, and there are still people who can't come out." "Zhao Shaokang has seen through the Kuomintang. We all live in Taiwan and are in the same boat. We must tolerate and understand each other. It is rare to say such fair words. This I must give it a thumbs up." "Zhao Shaokang said it politely." "It seems that he will really be expelled from the party after this election." "Did Zhao want to insinuate Luo Dayou on why he should represent us people from other provinces?" "Zhao Shaokang just knew that Luo Dayou would burn An An's baby to death if he lit a fire. Come out and balance it out."

Open Questions

  • Does Luo Dayou have any further response to the public correction of his identity?
  • Will this incident affect the election?
