From late June to late July, that bridge‑building, depolarizing (transformative, deliberative, and generative) energy was muted—certain radical elements hijacked the conversation—directly leading to the epic fail of the “epic recall.” But after July 27 and heading to August 23, the civil society has been healing; I even celebrated on Threads with the hashtag “I love our majestic mountainous country”—combining “majestic” (an ROC flag anthem term) with “mountainous” (a classic pro‑independence framing). It symbolizes bridging: Taiwan is more mountainous by area, while “majestic rivers” evoke the broader ROC imagery. Combining both elements resonated.
