Presidential Office Concert Features 'Democracy Quiz,' President Lai Jokes About Its Detail

Pingtung, May 23 (CNA) - The Presidential Office Concert took place today at the Pingtung County Gymnasium. The 'Fountain' magazine, published by the General Association of Chinese Culture (GACC), introduced a quiz sheet to help the public brush up on their democratic knowledge. President Lai Ching-te graded students' answers on-site, joking that the questions were 'very detailed.' Co-hosted by the Presidential Office and the GACC, the '2026 Presidential Office Concert - Democratic Taiwan, Warm Songs of the South' used music and interactive quiz booths to help the public understand how Taiwan became a democratic nation. President Lai graded the quiz sheets for students from National Pingtung University and found the difficulty level to be quite high. He laughed, saying, 'These are very detailed,' and suggested that true/false questions should be designed to be 'correct' to provide information through the test. Wang Yun-hsiung, a specialist at the GACC who designed the quiz, told CNA that this year's concert theme is the 30th anniversary of the direct presidential election. He selected relevant content from the magazine to create a quiz covering true/false, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank questions. Wang noted that one of the more difficult questions related to local Pingtung history, asking for two 'sites of injustice' within a 5-minute ride from the concert venue. The answers were Triangle Park and Changchun Park. He shared that the goal was to help everyone rediscover Taiwan's democratic history.
