Support and opposition
Ouyang Nana, 20, became popular on the mainland for playing the cello and starring in idol dramas. Her father, Ouyang Long, is a senior Taiwanese artist and former member of the Taipei City Council.
In March 2019, netizens from the mainland once referred to Ouyang Nana as an “element of Taiwanese independence.” She responded on social media that she strongly supported the “One China” principle, which sparked heated discussions across the strait at the time.
In an interview, the executive of Taiwan, Yuan Su Zhenchang, said that Taiwan is a free and democratic country. Some people enjoy freedom and democracy and enjoy health care resources. As a public figure, they sing inappropriate songs on the other side. The Chinese have their own public comments.
Taiwanese Culture Minister Li Yongde said relevant units are looking for relevant evidence and can only determine if there is a violation of laws and regulations after the results are released. When asked whether Ouyang Nana’s actions “dwarf the national character,” Li Yongde said that this part was released to the public for public comment.
The reaction of the people of Taiwan was also fierce. Facebook netizen “Zhang Jiahao” left a message on Ouyang Nana’s homepage: “The motherland is so good, when to renounce Taiwanese nationality, when to renounce Taiwanese health insurance and all that.”
But Taiwan also has voices in support of Ouyang Nana. Taiwanese artist Huang Licheng wrote on Facebook saying that Taiwan is a democratic country and can sing whatever you want.
“What I support is the freedom of creation and performance of the artist,” said Huang Licheng. “I believe that Taiwan is democratic and free. I insist that artists are free to create and perform.”
In mainland China, Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Global Times, supported Ouyang Nana’s participation in the National Day Gala. He believed that young people in Taiwan would advocate cross-strait reunification as a “wise and farsighted choice,” and those linked to “Taiwan independence” would be a sad bet.
“The future outcome of the cross-strait game is very certain, that is, Taiwan is destined to end the current state of separatism and return to the homeland, and the related ‘peripheral wars’ are already underway,” said Hu Xijin .
Li Kan, the son of Taiwanese writer Li Ao and a doctoral student in the Department of Asia and the Middle East at the University of Cambridge, told BBC China that there is a lack of young faces among “model compatriots from Taiwan” who support the reunification, and that Ouyang Nana, who is a “post-00”, needs to develop in the mainland entertainment industry. Your declaration has just met the needs of the continental united front.
Li Kan pointed out that if Taiwanese officials are concerned that Ouyang Nana’s actions will trigger a later copycat effect, it is not necessary. “Ouyang Nana sings a song and has no influence among young people in Taiwan. It just satisfies the propaganda needs of self-deception on the other side and creates the illusion that young Taiwanese after 2000 agree to reunification through the Narrow”.
Taiwanese officials said Ouyang Nana could be fined. Li Kan believes that the fine should be based on a uniform standard. “If you are fined for singing” My Motherland “, how many students and Taiwanese in mainland China have sung” Singing for the Motherland “?” The March of the Volunteers “, can’t it be punished forever?”
