It has been well over half a century and I'm glad to say we have taken the right path from authoritarianism to democracy and this is a road of no return.

The results of the two referenda demonstrate the majority view of the Taiwanese people.

The road to democracy may be winding and is like a river taking many curves, but eventually the river will reach the ocean.

However, I must say that I am very happy to see that we have such a positive result for our first referendum in our history and that gives me more confidence in Taiwan's democracy.

The election result is not a victory that belongs to me or my party.

I believe in the greatness of our democracy.
