"Long Live Taiwan Independence!"


(11/11/2008) (TVBS) Here is former president Chen Shui-bian addressing the public and the press before stepping in to meet the Special Investigators Panel.
Dear elders, compatriots and members of the press, good morning to you all. Today, I found it funny that it was necessarily to trouble so many people just for the appearance of myself in court for the special investigative unit. The recent Chen Yun-lin affair shows that the voices of the people of Taiwan can never be kept away by anti-riot police or police barriers.
Everybody knows that I, Chen Shui-bian, am the designated war criminal of the Nationalist Party and the Communist Party. I am also the largest rock on the way to unification for the Nationalist Party and the Communist Party. This time, Chen Yun-lin was very displeased in Taiwan, and he got even angrier when he returned to Beijing. Therefore, Ma Ying-jeou has to appease China by joining hands with the Communist Party to arrest Ah Bian. I have to be sacrificed to appease the angry senior officials in China and Zhongnanhai.
Ah Bian is very honored and also very proud to play this role. Today, I am going in. I am going into the Bastille Prison of Taiwan. I was there 22 years ago. They may be able to keep my body inside there, but they will not be able to lock up my heart. The heart of Ah Bian will forever stand with the 23 million people of Taiwan.
No matter how strong the Bastille Prison may be, it will be overrun some day. Democracy, freedom and independent sovereignty of Taiwan cannot be imprisoned in the Bastille Prison. They will blossom and bear fruits. Ah Bian appeals to everybody. I will not be imprisoned for nothing. I will spend my limited years and life in there to continue the struggle with everybody.
Our eternal goal will be "Taiwan and China, one nation on each side." We will make Taiwan head towards a new and independent nation. This is our never changing belief. We will succeed with certainly. Finally, I want to give encouragement to everybody. Go, Taiwan! Long live the people of Taiwan! Long live Taiwan democracy! Long live Taiwan independence! Thank you, everybody. See you again!
