From Blatantly “Faking", Reviewing “If I Were for Real"

Jerry H. Hsia, Professor, National Taiwan Normal University

On October 3rd, a big news banner of “Log fraud, fire extinguisher expired, Taipei Performing Arts Center bursts inspection cheating" (https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20210928soc006/), suddenly reminded me in 1979, the stage script “If I Were for Real" was created by mainland Chinese writer Sha Yexin, actors Li Shoucheng, and Yao Mingde. In 1981, director Wang Tong converted the original drama “If I Were for Real" into a movie, and won the Best Feature Film and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 18th Golden Horse Awards in the same year. Hong Kong star Alan Tam successfully performed “Li Xiaozhang" who pretended to be a “child of a high-ranking official" and won the best actor award. In July 2009, the well-known writer Ni Kuang commented on the original stage script of the “If I Were for Real" drama: “Through the process of one person pretending to be a senior official’s child, arrogant everywhere, without any disadvantages, not only the stupidity and corruption of the entire ruling totalitarianism are depicted, but also the forward-looking point is pointed out. This ruling group will inevitably evolve into a totalitarian ruling class that controls state property and power, and it will inevitably continue to decay, which has profound social significance." After more than 40 years, I searched the internet with the word “fake", and it was so sentimentally visible that the endless cases of individual “Li Xiaozhang" and gangs of “Li Xiaozhang" came from all directions. Just like the fallen leaves under the autumn wind, people can’t sweep away. It seems too difficult to guard against nonstop faking. The alleged “Log Falsification" case of the Taipei Performing Arts Center is roughly as follows: as a contractor of public works, it must deploy an inspection person to take pictures of the construction every day and fill in the construction log according to the facts as the basis for future pricing and payment. However, the informant found that the contents of the construction log actually did not match the date of the construction photos taken as well as the illustrations, so they were accused of “false and forgery." Similar to the “falsification" of the construction log of the Taipei Performing Arts Center, it was the case of “Falsification of Press Release Dates"（https://www.facebook.com/100005673466172/posts/1239354939596943/） .The Public Affairs Center of the Secretary Office, National Taiwan Normal University (supervised by Frank Yin Yongxiang, administered by Kang Minping, executed by Zhang Hualing, and edited by Hu Shize) actually used the ugly tactics of “continuously tampering/changing news release dates" to deliberately prevent certain specific news from appearing on the official website of National Taiwan Normal University homepage. At the same time, it also added an even worse tactic of “technically bullying dissidents" to deliberately exclude certain specific reports, reviews and articles so that they will not be included in the “Daily News Collection" of National Taiwan Normal University. In addition to the fact that these specific news reports, reviews and articles could not be included in the National Taiwan Normal University’s “News Clippings" database, the “black hands" in charge of the swordsmanship have also been intensified and viciously deleted the news reports, reviews and articles, some of which have already been stored for years in the database. In addition to the crimes of “fake news release dates" and “technical bullying of dissidents", one after another scandal has been written into the “Book of the Birth and Death of Yama" including: Associate Professor Kang Minping’s false administrative job title (https://www.facebook.com/100005673466172/posts/1247021772163593/), Frank Yin Yongxiang’s “Mandarin Language Teaching Center" lying case (https://www.upmedia.mg/news_info.php?SerialNo=125089), and Lai Xiangju and Zhou Shiyu’s Global Fashion EMBA ghost teachers case, tampering/changing the founder and former Chief Executive Officer’s seniority case, etc. (http://54.95.145.3/news_info.php?SerialNo=122496 ； https://yimedia.dev.ieon.tech/investigation/14679/) Of course, there are also monstrous cases of President Wu Chengchih accused of violating the University Law, compelling the departments and centers of National Taiwan Normal University to propose “reference candidates" first, and then he will use the “job post" review power to filter the teacher selection list. (https://tw.appledaily.com/headline/20200515/JU55KHBTB2MWN3CN7XFWREXBBM/; https://www.upmedia.mg/news_info.php?SerialNo=124842; https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/200322inv001/) What is the follow-up development of the above-mentioned cases of blatant “falsification", “lie", and “fake" with conclusive evidence is what Ni Kuang refers to: “shocking everywhere, never going bad"? Aha…, it is not surprising that it is basically the same storyline as the “Li Xiaozhang" yelling “If it is related, it doesn’t matter" the plot is exactly the same! So far, National Taiwan Normal University has not only never investigated, introspected, but asking the “Eastern News Forum" and “Yahoo Forum" to delete articles submitted by me. And has continued issuing “school letters" to slander the whistle blower through the media by using the nonsense phrases like: that person “has many controversial behaviors, many false accusations, a discredit teacher, and cause social disturbances." The Wu’s Gang has repeatedly attempted to cover up their own “continuous decay" by using inexplicable shame of “dung splashing" ! (https://wp.me/pc18vA-2N) At the end of June last year, someone reported to the Graduate Institute of Performing Arts, National Taiwan Normal University : Professor Susan Lin Shuzhen, the School Counselor hired by President Wu Chengchih, has her the highest academic degree posted on the official website of the Graduate Institute of Performing Arts and BFA Performing Arts Program as well as the Music Department, are obviously inconsistent to the degrees published by the Ministry of Education, and Fu Jen Catholic University (a total of four different versions: Master Degree of Piano Performance, Diploma of Piano Performance, short-term research, short-term visit). The office then asked Professor Susan Lin Shuzhen for assistance in confirming. When Professor Lin replied: “short-term research in the Graduate School of Musashino Conservatory of Music, Japan", the secretary also received instructions from Professor Lin that the secretary can get a photocopy of academic qualification from the Personnel Office of National Taiwan Normal University. Unexpectedly, the application for that photocopy was accidentally blocked by Director Ji Maojiao of the Personnel Office, who used “personal documents are unsuitable" as an excuse to cover up the fact. This absurd variation episode, is similar to the devilish “fire wall" encountered by professors Peng Wenzheng, He Defen, and Lin Huanqiang on President Tsai’s dissertation case, has the explosive effect of “there is no three hundred taels of silver buried here, and the next door neighbor has never stolen it" ? ! Today, by taking Taipei Performing Arts Center’s “Log Falsification, Fire Extinguisher Expiration, Explosive Illegal Acceptance and Cheating" as an counter example to review National Taiwan Normal University’s long series of “fake, lie, fraud" misconducts, devilish “fire wall", and illegal acceptance of “group cheating" from last year’s “fake press release date" …and so on, I can’t help but wonder whether this is also about to be fulfilled – Ni Kuang’s final prediction of “the stupidity and corruption of the entire ruling totalitarian…, and it will inevitably continue to decay"! ?
