former taipei mayor and taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was charged with profiteering in the jinghua city scandal and was ordered by the taipei district court to be detained and denied access to visitors. the people's party initiated a nationwide lecture to gather "little grass" and held a lecture in the rain at the xingxiu temple in the southern district of taichung on the evening of the 22nd. huang kuo-chang, the general convener of the people's party group, shouted to lai ching-te, "if you have evidence, please prosecute. why are you detaining people for confessions?"

the people's party held a "gathering 'little grass'" event at the xingxiu temple in taichung's south district tonight. thousands of supporters showed up in the rain, chanting "justice must be done in the judiciary, and procedures must be fair," "release the people if there is no evidence," and "as long as ko wen-je doesn't give up, we won't give up either." people's party legislators huang kuo-chang and mai yu-chen, taichung city councilors jiang he-shu and chen qing-long, and former legislator and taichung city advisor cai bi-ru all arrived to speak to the "little grass."

tsai bi-ru said that the people's party has been through many ups and downs in the five years since its founding, and this year it is facing the biggest crisis in its five years, but she believes that crisis is an opportunity for turning around, and the people's party will be defeated and rebellious because of this incident. seeing that the "little grass" firmly supports ko wen-je and stands on ko wen-je's side to defend justice, she also wants to say that once the investigation begins, we should no longer talk about the case.

tsai bi-ru said that since ko wen-je was searched, all political talk shows have one ko wen-je every day. if taiwan has this kind of creativity, why doesn't it help young people start their own businesses? now that the investigation has begun, we will just have to wait for the taiwanese judiciary to sort it out. we also ask the ruling party to restrain those talk show hosts from having one ko wen-je every day.

huang kuo-chang said that he was very moved to see the taichung folks stand up enthusiastically despite the rain. he also called on lai ching-te not to forget his original intention. in the past, when lai ching-te faced the detention of his dpp predecessors, he said righteously, "if you have evidence, please prosecute. why do you have to detain people for confessions?" he sent these words to him intact.

huang kuo-chang also emphasized that only a group of people can go far. this is what ko wen-je reminds all people's party officials every day. under ko wen-je's leadership, the people's party has become increasingly larger and its steps have become increasingly firm. the taiwan people's party has never been a one-man party, nor will it be a one-man party in the future.
