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.

We will make every effort to unify all ethnic groups, to strengthen belief in Taiwan and to persist in reform.

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.

Over the next four years, I will continue to listen to different views and accept different suggestions.

I have great confidence in Taiwan's democracy.
