Live Broadcast Technical Issues: Live broadcasts hosted by Hsu Fu(許甫) and Chen Chih-Han(陳智菡) experienced audio issues. The cause was the replacement of equipment to improve video quality, but the settings were not properly adjusted. The hosts promised to continue reminding the team to implement SOPs to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
Office Regulations and Penalties:
- The Taiwan People's Party, TPP headquarters has office regulations governing daily habits such as turning off lights, air conditioning, and closing doors.
- Violators are "penalized with points." Accumulating three points may require them to serve as "duty officers" responsible for cleaning.
- There have been instances where supervisors (e.g., Li Ding-Li(李鼎立)) were held jointly responsible and penalized when specific violators could not be identified.
"May Happiness Arrive Immediately" Spring Couplets:
- Hsu Fu mentioned proposing the creative spring couplet slogan "May Happiness Arrive Immediately" to a supporter named Xiao Yu(小魚).
- Xiao Yu (a media personality) originally wanted to write "Kill the Chicken Immediately," because her zodiac sign is the rooster.
- Hsu Fu later realized that "May Happiness Arrive Immediately" could be extended to "Hsu Fu in the Legislative Yuan in the Year of the Horse, and happiness arrives immediately."
2024 Spring Couplets:
- This year's Taiwan People's Party, TPP spring couplets are exquisitely designed, with calligraphy written by a calligrapher.
- Legislator Tsai Pi-Ru(蔡壁如) (Sister Chunchou), being skilled in calligraphy, was considered to write them, but she generously recommended a teacher she knew to do the writing instead.
- The style and signatures on the couplets are very interesting and are expected to be distributed by Party Chairperson Ko Wen-je and Party Chairperson Huang Kuo-Chang.
Taiwan People's Party Lunar New Year Special Program:
- The channel announced there would be a Lunar New Year special program (colloquially known as "New Year's Eve dinner").
KP Beanie Giveaway Event:
- The channel will give away three "KP beanies" designed by "Bai Ba"(白爸) and two signed masks to supporters who donate.
- The drawing method involves randomly selecting 5 people from the donation list; the first 3 will receive beanies, and the latter 2 will receive signed masks.
- Winners need to private message the hosts' Facebook page with their address and contact number. The hosts will deliver them personally or send them by mail, domestically or internationally.
Ko Wen-je Visits President Han Kuo-yu:
- When Ko Wen-je met with President of the Legislative Yuan Han Kuo-yu, the atmosphere was cordial, and President Han Kuo-yu offered encouragement to Ko Wen-je.
- President Han Kuo-yu mentioned that he once told his staff that Ko Wen-je was "visibly confined," while he, as President of the Legislative Yuan presiding over proceedings, was "invisibly confined."
- President Han Kuo-yu believed Ko Wen-je was a good person blessed by Bodhisattvas because he had saved many people.
- Their relationship, spanning over a decade since the Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation incident, still retains its camaraderie.
Legislator Wang Shih-chien Absent from Meeting:
- It was initially expected that Legislator Wang Shih-chien would also attend the meeting with Han Kuo-yu and Ko Wen-je, recreating a "classic scene."
- Wang Shih-chien ultimately withdrew to clarify his stance, displeased with claims that he had "proactively" sought to attend.
Controversy over the "Two-Year Term" for Party-list Legislators:
- Background: To accommodate diverse voices and cultivate new talent, the Taiwan People's Party, TPP stipulates that its party-list Legislators rotate after serving a two-year term.
- Party Chairperson Huang Kuo-Chang has pledged to adhere to the two-year term, unless Party Chairperson Ko Wen-je gives different instructions, and does not wish to cause party division through a vote.
- Dissent: There are still voices both within and outside the party hoping for certain Legislators to remain, due to concerns about the combat effectiveness of incoming Legislators (many are scholars or political novices), or worries that Huang Kuo-Chang might face legal issues after stepping down.
- Legislator Chen Chao-chi's Situation:
- Legislator Chen Chao-chi was initially reluctant to serve as a party-list Legislator, but Ko Wen-je invited her multiple times and promised to assist in promoting the "surrogate motherhood" bill.
- This bill (Assisted Reproduction Act) aims to address the declining birthrate, but its progress has been slow due to social divisions and a difficult discussion environment in Taiwan.
- Ko Wen-je considered this an important livelihood-related bill that should pass within two years, and therefore promised at the time that if the bill did not pass, Chen Chao-chi could continue her term.
- Questioning: Some individuals questioned this as an exception to the system, but the hosts emphasized that the system was designed to accommodate diverse voices and serve disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, Chen Chao-chi has pledged to resign even before two years if the bill passes.
- External Attacks: When Legislator Chen Chao-chi promoted the bill in the committee, she was often attacked by Democratic Progressive Party, DPP Legislators with emotional rhetoric, criticizing her draft as crude, involving "exploitation," and even resorting to personal attacks like accusing her of "having no uterus," despite her version of the bill already including relevant safeguards.
- Advocacy: Both Ko Wen-je and Huang Kuo-Chang support Chen Chao-chi's continued tenure to complete the bill, viewing it as a consideration for the public interest, and believing that commitments made among their own people should be honored.
Current Status of Party-list Legislator Succession:
- Among the incumbent Legislators, aside from Legislator Chen Chao-chi due to the surrogacy bill and Legislator Liu Shu-Hui(劉淑惠) (who replaced Legislator Cynthia Wu(吳欣盈) and has only served for one year), the other six have submitted their resignation letters.
- The resignation letters have been submitted to the Legislative Yuan and forwarded to the Central Election Commission, initiating the subsequent succession process.
- Legislator Hsu Chung-Hsin(許忠信) (the next in line) is not expected to directly succeed in the next session, and Party Chairperson Huang Kuo-Chang will communicate with him.
- The hosts called for the party not to "turn the gun on itself," but to understand the suggestions put forth by different Legislators based on their concerns about the system and external doubts.
- Host Chen Chih-Han believes that the Legislators in the subsequent eight positions have performed well in terms of professionalism and eloquence and should not be underestimated.

- Thanks were given to a supporter (Mr. Dai(戴先生)) who proactively offered to help distribute promotional materials, and to Master Yang's Stir-fry Restaurant in Xinyi District (a long-time supporter of the Taiwan People's Party, TPP with Ko Wen-je's flag hanging outside) for providing a publicity location.
Animal Trivia:
- In Kinmen, the "Caution: Wild Animals" road sign features a golden turtle (an indigenous turtle species), leading to confusion over whether it warns drivers or animals.
- Trivia:
- Adult male golden turtles "blacken" around the head and emit a fishy, foul odor, hence their common name "stinky turtle."
- Hatchlings grow sharp "egg teeth" to break open their eggshells.
- A turtle's shell is bone with nerves, so they can feel, contrary to the belief that "if it feels hard, there's no sensation."
- The hosts were once bitten by a turtle they had raised.
