Those who ascend to high office on this island of the Republic of China (R.O.C.) always possess something extraordinary. Beyond their academic background and cultivation, we often find mysterious and captivating traits. More specifically, these political figures frequently perform acts resembling miracles (or demonic feats) that become the talk of the town among ordinary citizens.
To borrow the language of the Japanese manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, these politicians (politicos) possess hidden, mysterious “Stand” abilities.
For instance, Ma Ying-jeou’s Stand ability is called “Death Grip.”
Tsai Ing-wen’s Stand ability is known as “Exterminating the Clan by Passing By”—if you don’t believe it, just look at what happened to 85°C Bakery Cafe.
Wang Jin-pyng’s Stand ability is “All-Around Smoothness.”
I personally find William Lai’s Stand ability to be quite formidable; it’s called “Words Manifesting Disaster”—whatever he says, the catastrophe follows!
Hsu Kuo-yung? No need to ask; Uncle Yung’s Stand ability is definitely “Immunity to a Hundred Toxins.”
As for Chen Shui-bian, his Stand ability is called “The Trembling Thumb.” But don’t you dare underestimate this power; it has immense practical utility—no matter what misdeeds are done, “Brother Yung” can never be kept behind bars.
