Also, the email from CP Yeh below told us 
​an
 exciting news that Li-Lin's article

)​
 has been mentioned by Taiwan's talk show 
​
新台灣加油, and Chung-Chih's
​ (
朱立倫布里丹之驢 
)​
, by 
​
新聞追追追. Li-Lin is also the most productive writer; of the 
​49
 essays recorded during the last 2 months and 
​5
 days, she wrote 2
​1
. (Note: some of the essays, such as those by Joseph Kuo, have not been recorded here.) Li-Lin told me that she will try hard to communicate with Taiwan's voters before the election. Hope you can write something for Taiwan, too.

If you have any questions
​ or​
 comments, 
​ ​
please tell us or discuss at the Forum. 

Thank you and Happy Holidays.
