The Sicao Green Tunnel in Tainan is known as the "Taiwan Amazon River" and is a national wetland and national park water area. Recently, Internet celebrity Wu Jiasheng shared a video on social media, saying that his expensive brand-name sunglasses accidentally fell into the water while boarding the boat. Although the staff tried to help but could not find them, he decided to go into the water himself and was lucky enough to find the lost sunglasses. However, he edited the process into a video for posting, which also caused netizens to question "Modern people like to post their illegal activities on the Internet" and "if they break the law, they have to tell the world, who are they trying to harm?" The temple also issued a four-point statement emphasizing that no one is allowed to enter the waters of the national park without permission and requested that the video be removed.

Wu Jiasheng shared a video on social media on September 27, saying that he recently went to Sicao Green Tunnel to take a bamboo raft, and the designer sunglasses originally hanging on his head accidentally fell into the water during the process. Although the staff tried to salvage them, they failed to find them, and he was unwilling to do so. The brand-name sunglasses that cost 8,000 yuan disappeared. He said, "I decided to risk it all and go into the water myself." After searching barefoot in the water for 8 minutes, he recovered the lost sunglasses. Afterwards, he edited the process and posted it on the social media, which sparked heated discussions.

Although some netizens joked that "it would be worth it if I picked up a pair of glasses more expensive than 8,000 yuan", "I admire your courage and persistence very much", and "it's so amazing that I almost didn't get it back. Maybe you are handsome enough so I let you go."

But some netizens bluntly said, "This is a national park, and the green tunnel is a protected water area. It's so poor to destroy the ecology for 8,000 yuan." "The unknown feeling of not knowing what I will step on is so scary." "I dare not go into the water. It's so scary." "If you get injured and infected, it may not be just a loss of 8,000...", "You can go into the water here? I always thought it was a protected area." Some netizens even bluntly said, "Last time I went I saw a snake hanging on the tree..." Wu Jiasheng responded, "Wow, that feeling is very rare."

Sicao Dazhong Temple also issued a 4-point statement on September 29, emphasizing that "in order to protect the natural ecology and ensure the personal safety of tourists in the green tunnel sightseeing rafting waters, our temple has been strictly complying with government laws and regulations for a long time, and there has never been an incident of tourists entering the water to salvage items on their own." "The client's valuables accidentally fell into the green tunnel river, and he is anxious. However, without permission, although the water level of the river is not deep, in order to protect the natural ecology and ensure the personal safety of tourists, this is not advisable and should be strictly prohibited." "In this incident, the temple has contacted the person involved and asked him to immediately remove the video of the incident to avoid confusion, and has once again strengthened education and training for all employees of the temple."

Wu Jiasheng also posted a separate message in the message area yesterday, saying, "The original intention of the video is only to record the actual incident of the accident during the trip, and it is not to encourage or demonstrate the behavior of entering the water." "The entire process of entering the water and salvaging was carried out with the consent and assistance of the on-site staff, and I did not enter the water without authorization." However, the video has not been removed from the shelves so far.
