Lai Ching-tak helps Huang Shijie build momentum. The "Lai Xiang-tak" meme hidden on the conference board caused laughter

DPP Taoyuan mayoral candidate Huang Shijie held an inauguration meeting for the southern district campaign headquarters yesterday (3rd). More than 20,000 supporters poured in to support the event. President and DPP Chairman Lai Ching-te and Executive Dean Zhuo Rongtai both personally stood up to support the campaign. In his speech, Lai Ching-te praised Huang Shijie as a top-notch talent. He even laughed at himself, "I also graduated from Jianzhuang High School, but I dare not say where I graduated." However, behind this enthusiastic campaign, sharp-eyed netizens discovered that the stage board contained a huge meme "Easter egg", which unexpectedly sparked hilarious discussions on social platforms.

During the campaign, Lai Ching-te stood in the center of the stage and gave an impassioned cheer to Huang Shijie. However, eagle-eyed netizens immediately discovered that the huge campaign board behind Lai Ching-de actually had the slogan "I will not surrender" printed on it. As soon as the picture appeared, Threads netizens immediately laughed out loud. They pointed out that this slogan was a humorous echo of the "Lai Xiangde" meme that shocked the entire Internet a few months ago. They all left messages laughing: "I'm laughing so hard at this easter egg."

This meme "I will not give in" originated from the "Shanghai Road for Justice" rally held by the People's Party on Ketagalan Avenue on March 29. At that time, the founding chairman of the People's Party, Ko Wenzhe, spoke emotionally to the Presidential Palace on the stage. It was suspected that his voice was hoarse and his pronunciation was unclear due to running around for days. He once mistakenly called the president "Lai Qingde" as "Lai Xiangde". Later, "useless" was also heard by the majority of netizens as a homophone for "the one who does not swim." The entire paragraph "Lai Xiangde, who does not swim, I will not give in" immediately became a popular meme and went viral in major social groups.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, this classic meme was directly put on the background of the campaign stage by the Green Camp campaign team, even right behind Lai Qingde himself. Many netizens joked, "Taiwan's democracy not only allows you to scold the president, but also allows comrades in the same party to use other people's scolding of the president for their own use."
