the taiwan high court overturned the bail application for former taipei mayor ko wen-je on the 4th and sent it back to the taipei district court for further judgment. the detention hearing was held again on the 5th. after more than 2 hours of questioning, the court ruled that ko should be detained without visiting anyone. internet celebrity "director" chen zhihan also broadcast live on the evening of the 5th, conveying ko's "final statement" and saying that he had decided not to take to the streets for the time being. he also received a "mysterious phone call" during the live broadcast and suddenly left the venue.

during the live broadcast, the "curator" played a video that ko wen-je recorded in advance for his supporters. in the video, he said, "taking good care of yourself is the best help to me. please live every day seriously and happily, be kind, do your best, and let us continue to work hard." the "curator" said frankly that this was the decision of the people's party and the instruction from chairman ko. he asked everyone to work hard, live their own lives well, and not create confrontation. he frankly admitted that he knew ko wen-je would be detained from the first day, "this is not a law at all, but political persecution."

what is worth noting is that the "curator" suddenly received a "mysterious phone call" in the middle of the live broadcast. after hanging up the phone, he said that the call was from huang kuo-chang. huang kuo-chang revealed that on the 4th, when the two of them were on their way to hualien to attend the public memorial service for the mother of fu kun-chi, the leader of the kuomintang caucus, ko wen-je gave huang kuo-chang many instructions and felt that he would definitely take him into custody, "and not let the third force that taiwan has finally gained disappear."

the curator pointed out that ko wen-je had been prepared before the detention trial, "the dpp will definitely use him," and ko wen-je will also be ready to face the dpp's political persecution. he hopes that everyone will not engage in short-term protests for him, such as taking to the streets to protest and march, etc. ko wen-je hopes that everyone will work hard and perform their duties, especially the staff of the people's party, who are paid by the people of taiwan, and he hopes that they will do a good job for the people.

regarding ko wen-je's detention and being kept in a three-person room in taipei detention center, some public opinion said that the scene where ko wen-je was handcuffed, or when he entered tucheng and had to strip naked for inspection, many people thought that he had reached the most frustrating situation in his political career or even in his entire life? in response, former taipei deputy mayor li yongping said that in fact, great politicians have great ups and downs, not only when they are happy, but also when they are frustrated. therefore, whether a person can get up depends on how he responds when he is frustrated. now is the time to test ko wen-je's resilience.

li yongping also pointed out that whether to be detained alone or with a companion, there is actually a saying that usually people in such a high position should not be allowed to live in a single room at the first time, because the psychological gap is too big. she also said that ke wenzhe is also a charismatic people's party chairman and politician, so if someone interacts with him, those people may also become fans of white power.
