When the radio DJ of Voice of Taiwan cried "The military police are coming!",
this unpleasant graduation topic was starting to hatch. I was a third grader
when I heard about the movie-esque plot on my way to after-hour classes with
my mom in a taxi. The police were there because the DJ made political comments
on Chiang Kai Shek—the subject in the song "In Memory of Chiang Kai
Shek: Our Honorable Late President", which appeared on the first page of the
music textbook. The time when the audience had to stand up and sing the
national anthem before the movie starts has been buried faraway in the sordid
past. Yet in 2008 a few music stores were closed down and forced to stop
playing patriotic songs. As an indie musician I can't help but wonder: when
will my ipod be inspected? When will my band's songs be banned? Parents and
teachers ask us young generations not to set foot in the abyss, hoping that
the fact social value of justice has collapsed is not visible to the children.
High school students roared and demanded the present president to step down,
ending up arrested by the police force, while the Red Shirt Protesters were
praised by the press for being "attentive to politics". The picture of a
police state is becoming ever more evident. Obedient police force resembles
in many ways the preposterous plot of the movie V for Vendetta.

Silence has brought crisis to life.
Put on thy mask and be an anonymous hero. It's you and it's me.
Clench thy fists and raise the flags high. Revolution begins now.
