In her speech, Tsai Ing-wen said that the young generation is the engine of power to change the country. The most important thing is to allow the young generation to succeed, so that the young generation can become the most important source of power for the DPP. Political work is work that requires both enthusiasm and patience, that is the spirit of “democracy.”
Tsai Ing-wen said that when she became the party chair in 2008, in the era when the DPP was less optimistic, how did the DPP train young people? It was to ask the young workers of the party to preach in an unknown place. It has to be said until the crowd gathers to hear the lecture, for the party workers it is a great test to be able to train such skills, even for everyone today, it is also a very severe test.
Tsai Ing-wen also said that she had heard that a young party worker had just started talking on the street. After talking for a while, one of the people finally listened. In the end, he asked people what they thought. People said that he was here to wait to take the presidency, and this story also reminded him that after 2008, the young workers of the party have done it a difficult road, and that they will have the opportunity to govern again in 2020, all since 2008. Constant accumulation, even accumulated during the last time in power.
Tsai Ing-wen said that the problem facing each generation is how to keep the party going and keep Taiwan’s important strength going forward. The most important thing is to allow the younger generations to succeed, and the younger generations will become the most important source of power for the DPP.
Tsai Ing-wen said that while listening to the briefing, she heard reports saying “starting from the local area”. In this sense, he has a dream, hoping that young people can participate more in party affairs. One day in the future, the DPP may have more than half of the local parties. The head of the ministry is a young man between 30 and 40 years old, who breaks with some past traditions, which represents the beginning of the change for the DPP and is also a really important goal from the local level.
Tsai Ing-wen said that she was very pleased to be able to participate in the results of today’s “National Action Plan for Youth”. He knows that since then, all the students have not only participated in the camp, but have also accumulated practical experience. Under the Ministry’s command, he participated in solid training on social media, organization, politics, and topic research.
From what he shared a moment ago, he felt that all young students have some degree of political experience. Politics is part of life and political work is work that requires enthusiasm and patience at the same time, that is the spirit of “democracy.”
Tsai Ing-wen said generations of DPP youth have also participated in this way, “boiled” in a deeper belief and persistence in democratic politics. In addition to the generations of the student movement, the generation of assistants and the generation of party workers that everyone is familiar with, when she elects herself, she often sees young people joining in electoral activities. The participation and enthusiasm of the youth often makes everyone very touched. As in last year’s presidential elections, young people not only showed enthusiasm at times, some took to the streets to preach for the future of Taiwan. Some people have also joined the “British Eye Force” as front-line volunteer scrutineers. At the same time, in these processes, the younger generation has made good use of the power of the community and has strengthened the organizational strength of the youth through the conversion of “online” and “offline”.
Tsai Ing-wen said that these active participations made her believe that the makeup of the youth will change over time. But what remains unchanged is the courage and faith of the younger generation, the appearance of advancing boldly. He reminded the students in the scene that after ten or twenty years, they must remember who they are now, their persistence in values and beliefs, and the courage to move on.
Tsai Ing-wen said that in the past six months, everyone has built up a lot of energy through training and actions. In the new year, Taiwan will face new challenges. Everyone now has the opportunity to make more contributions to democracy and reform in Taiwan. He has three assignments to hand over to the young students and he also hopes:
The first task is to cultivate specific and subtle knowledge. Like the warning messages in the report, they are all young people’s views and all have unique ideas. Regardless of the topics that interest you, keep working hard, dig into them, think dialectically at any time, and ask your own questions.
The second task is to keep an open mind and make friends. All participating students can be good partners in the journey of a lifetime. Whether it is to maintain stratospheric organizational ties or to bravely break through the heterogeneous, it will be an important energy for future youth organizations.
The third task is to cultivate an overview. The international situation is constantly changing and Taiwanese society is also undergoing continuous changes. I hope everyone continues to absorb new knowledge and develop a comprehensive vision to grasp the pulse of the world.
Tsai Ing-wen said that the young generation is the engine of power to change the country. Since last year, everyone has been asking a question continuously. This question was just mentioned by the director of the Department of Youth, Cai Mulin: “What is the connection between the DPP and the generation of young people?” This is the purpose of the Youth Department in managing this project.
Tsai Ing-wen said she had said earlier that the DPP youth tradition is neither great nor small. Each generation of DPP youth defines DPP. In other words, the DPP is not trying to define the youth in their own way, but the youth define the DPP.
Tsai Ing-wen said, then, “What is the connection between the DPP and the younger generation?” This question must be asked by young people. Keep asking questions, because the key to the answer is in the youth. Please keep asking questions and try to keep answering them. The DPP will continue to progress and Taiwan’s democracy will certainly continue to progress.
In addition, Cai Mulin, director of the Youth Department, stated in a speech that after President Tsai Ing-wen returned to the party chairmanship, the Youth Department abides by the important basic principles of “bottom-up” and “step by step “. The connection between the DPP and youth.
Cai Mulin said that the DPP Youth Department’s “National Action Plan for Youth” does not fight high heights and follows the trend, and hopes to continue to practice on a solid foundation in the future. He would like to especially thank the county and city party committees for their full support and cooperation during the National Youth Action Plan.
Cai Mulin said that the “National Action Plan for Youth” will be just the beginning. In the future, “Boost Democracy! The School of Political Workers” will continue to combine the power of state officials and young friends to continue promoting in all corners of Taiwan. In addition, this year is also expected to launch activities such as “advanced seminars” and “entrenched national high school professional activities”. In the future, the activities of the DPP Youth Department will be more exciting. I hope the young students present can follow the DPP. Work hard together.
