The people of Taiwan have once again written a new page in our history and taken a great step forward in democracy.

It has been well over half a century and I'm glad to say we have taken the right path from authoritarianism to democracy and this is a road of no return.

The results of the two referenda demonstrate the majority view of the Taiwanese people.

I believe in the greatness of our people.

We will strive to make Taiwan a better place and enable our people to live better lives.

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