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 will strive to make Taiwan a better place and enable our people to live better lives.

I believe in the greatness of our democracy.

Secondly I would like to make continuous efforts of stabilising cross Strait relations, eventually reaching peace across the Taiwan strait and stability and security in the Asia Pacific region.

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.

Even if one tree falls down it wouldn't affect the entire forest.

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