We have had a long wait for democracy.

Also in the new constitution, we want to lower the voting age from 20 years to 18 years and also gradually implement a voluntary military service in replacement of the current compulsory military service.

The grandeur and strength or our people and democracy are as big as a forest.

Over the next four years, I will continue to listen to different views and accept different suggestions.

We also intend to deal with the issue of incorporating basic human rights into our new constitution.

I understand the harsh feelings and sentiments from my opponents and their supporters because I myself have been defeated twice in my political life in the past and I understand very well it is hard to accept your own failure.

I have great confidence in Taiwan's democracy.
