taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was detained and denied access to visitors due to his involvement in the jinghua city scandal. the people's party central emergency response team will call on supporters to conduct propaganda throughout taiwan. the outside world is also concerned about whether the people's party will nominate an acting party chairman. cai bi-ru, a consultant to the taichung city government who was once ko wen-je's core staff and has been recommended as acting chairman many times, said that ko wen-je was just asking for leave, and the central party headquarters also has a response team, "let's leave it at that for now", and she also has a position as a city government consultant and cannot accept a party position.

when tsai bi-ru was interviewed on the 7th, she was asked about the voices within the party supporting her to be the acting party chairman. tsai bi-ru emphasized that ko wen-je is just taking a leave of absence now, and the people's party has also set up an emergency response team to deal with the crisis. "i think let's leave it like this for the time being!" tsai bi-ru said frankly that she currently also serves as an advisor to the taichung city government, so she thinks she probably cannot accept such a position. now the most important thing for the people's party is unity.

after being detained, ko wen-je called out to his supporters in a pre-recorded video, "in fact, taking good care of yourself is the best help to me. please live every day seriously, live every day happily, be kind and do your best. let us continue to work hard." however, the people's party's emergency response team decided to mobilize the entire party to carry out the propaganda throughout taiwan, and the central and southern party branches also responded, calling on "little grass" to go north to show support.

tsai bi-ru believes that the purpose of holding a nationwide campaign is to call for unity, and the people's party should indeed unite at this time. as for ko wen-je's call for "little grass" to live a good life, why did the people's party call on "little grass" to take to the streets? is there a conflict? tsai bi-ru said that everyone should unite together, listen to ko wen-je's words, and live a good life. she is expected to attend the event at 6 pm on the 8th.

in addition, media person huang yangming shared an interview on facebook on the 6th when ko wen-je was just elected mayor of taipei 10 years ago. he was also a member of the interview team at that time. huang yangming quoted the content of the interview: "ko wen-je admitted that he might get into trouble in two years, because he was a political novice at the beginning and had a learning attitude. when he was familiar with municipal issues, no one dared to refute him because he was always right, so he was worried that he would never hear the truth again." at that time, ko wen-je said that in addition to reflecting on himself every day, he also put people who dared to speak the truth around him, and that person was tsai bi-ru.

huang yangming said with emotion, "although ko wen-je didn't get into trouble two years after taking office, the current illegal and controversial municipal cases almost all occurred after tsai bi-ru left the city government. this can be regarded as a prophecy coming true!"

many netizens also left messages saying, "i am deeply impressed by the sentence 'even crazier after the election'", "indeed, tsai is really important to ko, and only tsai dares to help ko put the brakes on", "he knows himself very well, but he indulges himself."
