Hou Youyi, the mayor of New Taipei City, who is also popular in the Kuomintang, went to mourn Master Xingyun today and had a brief meeting with former President Ma Ying-jeou. On the topic, Hou Yixingyun responded in French, "Don't forget the original intention, don't invite friends; don't miss the old evil, just follow the fate"; when the former Legislative President Wang Jinping was asked about Guo's party membership, he quickly said "we will talk about it later", for The candidates for the Kuomintang general election leave unlimited imagination.

Hou Youyi did not respond positively today. He said, always look at it with one mood. Master Hsing Yun has four words in French, which he has never used in his life. They are "never forget your original intention, never invite friends; never miss old evils, and stay with fate". These are all models and goals for us to learn. Use these four sentences to encourage and encourage yourself, hoping to contribute to the country and the people with all our strength.
The outside world named them "Guo Zhupei" and "Guohoupei". Hou Youyi said that we all grew up in this land, just like Master Xingyun who saved all sentient beings.

Just like each of us, regardless of you, me, ethnic group, or anyone, under the guidance of Master Hsing Yun, strive to love everyone in Taiwan.
