Wang Meihui asked how to deal with the more than 1,000 bronze statues of Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan, whether they should be put together in a park, or they should all be removed or dismantled. Hua Jingqun said that there should be more discussions on this part, and the answers will be clearer through discussions.

Hua Jingqun said frankly that this matter is very stressful, but he still has to bear it.
