"Art is magical, freeing us from the lie of true existence." — Theodor W. Adorno, Frankfurt School philosopher

Therecall campaign movement was the most applauded demonstration in Taiwan's presidential election history, and the most dramatic scene of this election cycle. Therecall campaign protest march in Kaohsiung, which broke records with over 500,000 participants, terrified the villainous Kuomintang (KMT). Their schemes were exposed, leaving them speechless. They spewed endless nonsense from start to finish, covering everything like a sky-filling net. They confused deer for horses, spoke without filter, and cursed freely. As Soviet writer and Nobel laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said: "We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know that we know they are lying, and we know that they know that we know they are lying, yet they continue to lie." Even when pointing out the absurdity of mocking the "Restore Kaohsiung" protest banner by claiming not a single person was there, calling it "the largest fig leaf in Taiwan's democratic history," it was a blatant lie with photographic evidence. Despite this, they still twisted facts. This soft earth clings to bones. Furthermore, manipulative media outlets like United News Network journalists Zheng Wu and Liu Wanlin in Taipei distorted reality. Clearly, the source of chaos in Taiwan stems from these off-key and smearing media. Open your eyes and expose the villains' scam. We not only want to restore Kaohsiung but also welcome a new era.

Therecall campaign protest march proved that Kaohsiung people have awakened. Taiwanese people stood up, demonstrating a huge local awakening force. They rejected the bullying and rampage of the villains, bravely voicing our hearts. Change is happening now. Let us persist; the future is in our hands. In recent days, witnessing the extreme arrogance and madness of the villains, all their curses prove their insanity. Greek director-writer Ulysses' famous quote says: "God wants to destroy a person, first makes him crazy." We are ready to welcome the new era after the sun sets.
