taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was ruled to be released without bail, which has attracted attention. wang shih-chien, a democratic progressive party legislator who previously said that he would go bungee jumping if ko was not detained, had a large number of netizens flood his facebook page on the 2nd, asking him not to forget to fulfill his promise. in response, wang shih-chien responded today that he should be patient because the prosecutors will file an appeal in the next few days. "with my credibility, i will wait a few more days for the prosecutors' appeal. i think everyone can accept it."

wang shih-chien previously publicly stated that if ko wen-je was detained, he would bring a lunch box to visit him, but ko retorted that if he was not detained, would he swallow a hockey ball? not long after, wang shih-chien responded that hockey was a matter between han kuo-yu, the head of taiwan's public opinion agency, and duan yi-kang, a former dpp legislator, and that if you want to gamble, you should gamble big and do something you can do, such as high-altitude bungee jumping, "this is feasible."

today, when ko wen-je was invited back without a guarantee, many netizens flocked to wang shih-chien's social media platform, asking him to fulfill his promise of high-altitude jumping. "brother jian, are you going to do high-altitude jumping?" "you have to fulfill your promise." "thank you brother jian for performing the high-altitude jumping." "brother jian has never won a bet, and he knew this before betting with ko on high-altitude jumping."

wang shih-chien had bad luck in gambling in the past. for example, in 2008, he bet that if all eight seats in the taipei city legislative assembly were won by the kuomintang, he would jump into the sea. as a result, the kuomintang really did "eight immortals crossing the sea", and he finally went out to sea on a jet ski, but fell into the water due to unstable center of gravity. in the 2012 "general election", wang shih-chien bet that if tsai ing-wen lost the election, he would be willing to bungee jump from a high altitude. in the end, tsai lost the election, and wang went to japan to fulfill his promise.(picture above)in 2017, wang shijian made a bet with "catino news" that he would shave his head if the related video received over a million views. in the end, the video received over a million views, and wang also shaved his signature hairstyle short, which was ridiculed by then-mayor ko wen-je as "a little fool turning into a fool."

regarding the spamming of his posts, wang shijian said that he respects the judiciary, and that as long as it is a court ruling, all sectors of society will fully respect it. however, the prosecutors will appeal this case in the next few days, and many of the reasons for the court's ruling this time are that all sectors of society and the prosecutors agree that this part is easy to supplement with explanations and evidence, and he personally agrees. he believes in the court's decision, but he should be patient because the prosecutors will appeal. wang shijian also cited zheng wencan's case as an example, saying that he was also in and out three times.

as for the high-altitude bungee jumping that he bet with ko wen-je, wang shih-chien said that it was very easy and simple, and that he had a very good credit and believed that everyone had confidence in his ability to bungee jump.
