Taiwan: A Taiwan Businessman Values Others’ Lives Before His Own

Liu Jinxing, a Taiwan Legislator (Member of the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan), posted a letter from a Taiwan businessman on Facebook.

The letter said:

“I am a Taiwan citizen stuck in mainland China. I am sending this posting for no other reason than to ask President Tsai Ing-wen to increase the Wuhan Pneumonia control level in Taiwan and to deny entrance to Taiwan for any people from the mainland .

Beijing is having a severe (epidemic) situation, but Taiwan still has five airports open to China. Though where I stay still is some distance from Beijing, three corpses have been removed from around my community…

The main reason that I don’t leave China is that I am concerned about bringing the virus back to Taiwan or even transmitting it to my family. President Tsai, please temporarily close the door. If it is my destiny to die out of my hometown, I will take it. President Tsai, please take care of my family in Taiwan. If the worst thing happens to me, I will not, and I have no reason, to blame the government (of Taiwan).

Not every Taiwanese in mainland China is so afraid of death. Even if there are 1 million Taiwanese in mainland China, there are 20 million on the island of Taiwan. Each Taiwanese businessman understands clearly which is more important. Don’t worry about us.

If everyone in Taiwan is kept safe, that is the biggest comfort to me because I am away from home.”

Liu also posted an explanation from a friend at the Interior Ministry saying that the number of people from mainland China who have travelled to Taiwan has decreased significantly. Completely cutting any entry from China might lead people to try to enter via a third country which would make it even harder to track or monitor them.

Excerpt in Chinese:

我是一個目前還在中國的台灣人,我發這個帖子不為別的,只懇請希望蔡總統能進一步將武漢肺炎的疫情層級拉高 ~ 暫時關閉國門。

北京現在很嚴重,而我們對中國還有五個機場開放,這對防疫肯定會有很大的壓力,我距離北京雖然還有一段距離,但我自己住的這個社區附近,都拉走了三具大體,我們持的是臺胞證進入的中國,而非台灣護照,這點在法理上來說,政府不用太過於揹負道德壓力。

我沒離開中國,主要也是因為怕自己在遷徙途中染到病菌帶回台灣,甚至傳染給我的家人,請蔡總統暫時性的關閉國門做為考慮,如果我們命該如此,客死他鄉,就要認命,請蔡總統保護好我在台灣的家人,如果我在外不幸,絕不會,也無理由怪政府。

本不該在防疫壓力那麼大的時候再給蔡總統執政團隊添亂,但我不吐不快,不是每個在中國的台灣人都那麼怕死,即便有一百萬台灣人在中國又怎麼樣?島上可是兩千多萬的台灣人,誰輕誰重,台商的算盤打的跟明鏡似的,不用為我們擔心。

在台灣的你們平平安安,就是我一個在外的遊子最大的安慰。感恩 謝謝
