[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Gao Hongan, a candidate for the mayoral election of Hsinchu People's Party, was caught in a storm of plagiarism. When he held a press conference to clarify, he accidentally "warned his education", detonating criticism.

In this regard, Akio Yaita, a senior Japanese media person, shared his own experience, and cited former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as an example, emphasizing that a political background does not necessarily require a "scholarly tyrant".

Akio Yaita said in a Facebook post that he has met many scholars who are called "the elite of the elite" in his life, but few have become good friends, because most of them can't talk, "I My personal life experience is quite tortuous. I returned to Japan from China at the age of 15. At the beginning, my Japanese was not good. I dropped 2 levels and started from the second year of junior high. Passed. It can be said to be a veritable 'study scum'. There are similarities, and the people who were willing to make friends with me were some children who were less fond of reading. I actually learned a lot from them."

Akio Yaita pointed out that the so-called "scholarly masters" often think that they are good at reading because they work harder than others. He does not deny this. However, "being able to work hard" itself is actually a kind of talent. It is not his fault that people are born without this talent. In addition, various conditions such as family economic conditions, surrounding environment, smart minds, and good luck are all related.

Akio Yaita shared that he only went to college at the age of 20. Half of the classmates around him are fresh graduates of high school, and the other half are repeat candidates who have participated in the college entrance examination more than two times. The Japanese name is "Ronin", and his alma mater Keio University is In a relatively difficult university, the students who can be admitted at one time are basically top students from famous high schools in Japan. "Ronin" are mostly "ordinary people" who have worked very hard to be admitted. "How many times in my college days? Good friends are all ronin, and I feel that they have suffered setbacks in life, they are more mature in dealing with people, and they are more comprehensive in considering issues.”

Akio Yaita said that the society of course needs to be a scholar. For example, in the research and development of the most advanced semiconductor chips at TSMC, it needs extremely smart people who can read. Only by running a team of them can they continue to break through, innovate, and maintain a leading position.

"But do you also need to be a scholar in politics? I don't think so." Akio Yaita said that since politicians are the representatives of all the people, they should be elected from all walks of life and all kinds of people. , can only prove that good grades in school, does not guarantee to become a good politician.

Akio Yaita pointed out that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was not very good at reading, and the Seikei University he graduated from was not considered a prestigious university, but this did not prevent him from becoming an outstanding leader. As a Prime Minister, he led his team to win elections again and again. And left countless brilliant achievements.

Akio Yaita believes that in this local election in Taiwan, from the very beginning, they have been attacking each other's candidates for plagiarism. , but it is rarely discussed or even ignored, "Is the educational background of politicians really that important? It seems that Taiwanese society should think about this issue."
