taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was charged with being involved in the jinghua city scandal during his tenure as mayor of taipei city. he was recently detained and denied access to visitors by the taipei district court on charges of profiteering. as a result, after ko wen-je was detained, a woman surnamed chen from hsinchu city went to the doorstep of ko wen-je's mother's home in hsinchu city and placed a sign that read "raising a corrupt criminal" and a photo of ko wen-je in handcuffs, and even set off firecrackers.

it is understood that after ko wen-je was detained, his mother seemed to be temporarily staying at a friend's house, and no one had been in or out of his home in hsinchu city for several days. however, a few days ago, a netizen posted a message on a social platform, writing "wow~ a bit too much", and posted a photo, saying that outside ko wen-je's home in hsinchu, someone posted a photo of ko wen-je with his hands cuffed and about to take a prison van to the taipei detention center. there was also a cardboard on the ground with the words "raising a corrupt criminal ko wen-je" written on it. the post sparked heated discussions, and most netizens believed that this was inappropriate and that the elderly should not be disturbed.

the hsinchu city police precinct 1 searched the internet for the information and immediately took the initiative to intervene in the investigation. after checking the surveillance footage, the police immediately identified a woman named chen.

at about 2 p.m. on the 9th, the woman came to the police station to explain that it was understood that the woman surnamed chen, who was about 50 years old, learned from the news that ko wen-je was detained by the court, so she placed a slogan and posted a photo of ko wen-je in handcuffs at the door of ko wen-je's mother's house, and lit two strings of firecrackers at the scene. she testified that she did this to "celebrate." the police sent her to the hsinchu district prosecutor's office for investigation for violating the "social order maintenance act."

after ko wen-je was detained, the outside world paid attention to the situation of ko wen-je's parents. people's party legislator lin guocheng recently revealed that ko's mother he ruiying was indignant but very strong; ko's father ko cheng-fa is currently in hospital and in very poor health. he also encountered judicial suppression from ko wen-je and his family members were ill. this was a double blow to the ko family, but they are all very strong. i hope everyone can put themselves in their shoes.
