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

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

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.

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.

In the 1999 resolution regarding Taiwan's future passed by the Democratic Progressive Party, it is stated very clearly that any change to the status quo of Taiwan must be decided by the people of Taiwan through referenda.

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