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

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

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

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.

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

I believe in the greatness of our democracy.

Through mutual understanding, sincerity and goodwill, and with great wisdom and broad views, the leaders on both sides should jointly initiate new opportunities for peace, stability, cooperation and mutual benefit.
