Veteran musician Luo Dayou recently appeared on "Flying Saucer Breakfast" hosted by Tang Xianglong. He went full-on and railed against the Democratic Progressive Party for lowering Taiwan's cultural standards. When talking about the election, he even pointed out that "people from other provinces have been bullied miserably." He also named veteran musician Ma Shifang, "How did you become so green?" These remarks caused an uproar in public opinion. "Black Bear Academy", which promotes issues related to national defense, released an exclusive interview with Ma Shifang on the YT channel yesterday, attracting attention from the outside world.

Luo Dayou talked about Minister of Culture Ono on the program on the 10th. He stated that the two were friends. Luo Dayou said: "I think Xiaoye, you will lose your security in the late holiday." Tang Xianglong then responded: "He lost his security very early." Continuing Luo Dayou, who attributed the lowering of cultural thresholds to the DPP, he also named Ma Shifang and questioned, "How did it become so green?"

Black Bear Academy posted a post on its Facebook fan page yesterday stating that Ma Shifang said in the show "Here Comes BEAR" that when you are disappointed with your favorite music and creators, the past emotions still count. The emotions are real, and you get hurt precisely because you have received gifts from the other person, and you can get back the expectations that were projected on the other person, and you can say what you want to say for yourself.

Black Bear College pointed out that as a well-known broadcaster and music critic, one of Ma Shifang's most famous deeds was asking students in college classes to share "the song that best represents our generation" as an assignment. This kind of invitation and observation has now been more than ten years.

Ma Shifang said, "When the work is greater than the person who wrote the song," it will take on meanings that even the author could not have imagined. For example, "Flowers on a Rainy Night" and "Looking at the Spring Breeze" in the 1930s, during the non-party movement in the 1970s, reflected the political repression of that era and became soothing songs.

Black Bear Academy pointed out that Ma Shifang also talked about issues such as "being reported by China's "Little Pink" for Taiwan independence" and the appearance and pain of young people of different generations in the program.

After seeing the post, netizens left messages one after another. Some said, "A very true and meaningful interview", "A great statement!", "I feel the same for Mr. Ma Fang, maybe I will listen to some songs for a long time and recall my own youthful years with the songs! People who can selectively lose their memory and forget about their creations."
