Even if I were knocked down by one gunshot it wouldn't affect our democracy and I wasn't knocked down and I have great confidence in our democracy and in Taiwan and in the people of Taiwan.

We sincerely ask the Beijing authorities across the Strait to view the election result from a positive perspective, to accept the democratic decision of the Taiwanese people.

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

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

If we really love and cherish Taiwan, we should hold our hands in unity to protect our country and our democratic values with the most humble and tolerant hearts.

We must not demonstrate any arrogance, and we must refrain from any irrational or undemocratic behavior.

We have had a long wait for democracy.
