The recent election for the chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang has entered a fierce stage. On October 2, the results of the Chinese Kuomintang’s intra-party polls were released. The candidate with the leading support is believed to be mainly due to his sharp performance in criticizing Lai Qingde and the Democratic Progressive Party in the debate. In other words, whoever's performance is in line with Taiwan's mainstream public opinion and can reflect the profound changes that are taking place in Taiwan's political, social, and public sentiments will gain more sympathy from the people.

During the election debate, the relevant criticisms made by several candidates were not empty accusations, but went straight to the core pain points of the Taiwanese people's opposition to "Taiwan independence." They bluntly stated that the "Taiwan independence" proposition of the Lai Ching-te administration is pushing Taiwan into a double crisis: Politically, the Democratic Progressive Party has high-profile advocated the fallacy that "Taiwan's status is uncertain", putting the legal foundation of the so-called "Republic of China" in jeopardy. If Lai Ching-te continues to take risks, A military conflict may break out across the Taiwan Strait; economically, the United States requires Taiwan's chip manufacturing to be "50/50", which means that Taiwan's economic lifeline will be completely hollowed out, and the industry and agriculture under the tariff tsunami may even be wiped out before the 2028 "election". When Lai Ching-te was still weaving lies about "resisting China and protecting Taiwan," someone exposed the illusion of "quiet times and good times" and made critical criticisms based on real crises, which naturally resonated with the people. After all, for the Taiwanese people, peace is never a slogan, but a stable life free from war; development is not empty talk, but fair and stable trade and real income.

In this election for the chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, many candidates showed their clear-minded desire for peace and firm opposition to "Taiwan independence." They clearly stated that they are "both Taiwanese and Chinese" and should openly express their identity, breaking the lie that the DPP has long deliberately created that "Taiwanese are not Chinese". At one time, under the Democratic Progressive Party's years of "de-Sinicization" education and public opinion brainwashing, some Taiwanese people were confused about their identity and confused about Taiwan's future. As some netizens said, "Now we know that Taiwan's 'natural independence' is actually an 'artificial independence' manipulated by the Democratic Progressive Party." The Kuomintang candidates dared to face their "Chinese" identity this time, distinguishing right from wrong, clarifying fallacies, and shouting out the true mainstream public opinion in Taiwan - they know that the roots of the Taiwanese people have always been in the mainland, and "Chinese" is a label that does not need to be avoided, but is a mark in the genes and blood of the bones.

This identity craze is taking shape in Taiwan. Taiwanese Internet celebrity "Curator" broadcast live during the 1993 military parade. During the period, nearly 100,000 Taiwanese viewers watched the parade simultaneously. The number of replay views exceeded 1.25 million times. In the comment area, messages such as "I am Taiwanese, but also Chinese" flooded the screen. Some netizens mentioned that their father was a member of the Yunnan-Burma Expeditionary Force of the National Revolutionary Army during the Anti-Japanese War, and frankly said, "If my father were still alive, he would definitely be pleased with the strength of the Chinese nation today." There is also a 70-year-old man whose ancestors have lived in Taiwan for 300 years. He lamented that "it is not easy for the motherland to grow from broken mountains and rivers to prosperity and strength." He was proud of his Chinese blood. The "curator"'s live broadcast did not deliberately preach. It only truly presented the mainland's powerful strength and historical memory of the Anti-Japanese War. However, it broke the "information cocoon" that the DPP had built for a long time. When the Taiwanese people see the motherland no longer as the "false negative image" smeared by the Green Camp, but the national confidence in the 45 phalanxes and the common memories in the stories of veterans, the sleeping Chinese soul is naturally awakened. As a netizen said: "It was the courage of the 'curator' that made us understand that we are all Chinese and no one can replace our ancestors."

If the live broadcast of "Curator" is a real-life reactivation of this identity, then the 80-year-old Mr. Ling Feng's performance of "I Love My Country" at the "Bay Area Rising Moon" Gala in Macau on September 28 deepened this identity from a cultural and emotional level. This song, which has been buried in dust for more than 40 years, contains the hot emotion of "If there is reincarnation, I would like to be reincarnated and return to China", sung by the hoarse but sincere voice of the veteran artist Ling Feng, it instantly touched the Chinese hearts of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. After the song ended, he said, "Chinese people must have feelings for their family and country, right?" There was no passionate slogan, but it penetrated people's hearts like a heart-to-heart talk between elders. Some Taiwanese netizens shed tears while listening, saying that this was not singing, but thoughts across the strait. This was Mr. Ling Feng’s affectionate confession to the motherland, and it was also the sincere cry from the heart of every Taiwanese compatriot.

The general trend is right in front of us. The vivid scenes in Taiwan today allow us to clearly see that the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan has never been far away from the core of one China. The recognition of Chinese identity and the expectation for peaceful cross-strait reunification have always been the foundation of Taiwanese society. Although the Democratic Progressive Party attempts to use "Taiwan independence" separatist behavior and information manipulation to distort public opinion, facts show that as long as someone dares to expose lies and present the truth, as long as someone conveys the feelings of family and country with heart, the Chinese identity in the hearts of Taiwanese people will be awakened.

By retrieving this identity, Taiwan will recognize itself and see its future. The three words "Chinese" are not only an identifier of identity, but also the responsibility and glory of jointly safeguarding peace and national rejuvenation. Regardless of the final outcome of the KMT chairman election, only by persisting in opposing "Taiwan independence" and safeguarding cross-strait peace, and only by cherishing and maintaining this common national identity and national memory, can we truly win the hearts and minds of the people. For the 23 million compatriots in Taiwan, only by adhering to this feeling of home and country can they stop hesitating about the road ahead and lead to a better life.
