We will make every effort to unify all ethnic groups, to strengthen belief in Taiwan and to persist in reform.

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 make every effort to unify all ethnic groups, to strengthen belief in Taiwan and to persist in reform.

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

I believe that this is not only the view of the people on both sides of the Strait. It is also the common expectation of the US, Japan and the international community.

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

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.
