In the face of imminent danger this man shows incredible courage and taiwan deserves all the the help and respect that the free world can give them to maintain their freedom and way of life.
Taiwan will return to the motherland. It will happen regardless of what the pre-eminent imperialist nations think. If the U.S thinks supporting separatism to destroy China is going to be a good idea then they better be prepared for what's coming because it will hurt them big time.
If you haven't been to Taiwan please go visit then you know how dirty Taiwan's politic is. Australia has no power to help Taiwan and did you hear anything about Xinjien's cotten problem from ABC? I did not, why not? because ABC was told shut up. America never wanted to help Taiwan to defend, it is because America uses Taiwan card to bargain with China only. Australia futute is dim in Asia. American global leadership is about to collapse. Why? America spent all the money and resources to punish defence less countries. Something I would like to know is why the 2 five star American generals did able to win the war in Korea and Vietnam? You know there was no five star generals in Korea and Vietnam. And there was no Mordern military weapons in either countries. I can see the 5 eye die young. I just can not see there is any future in 5 eye any one of the 5 countrirs.
'would Australia be expected to fight along side you?' Stan, your asking the wrong person. That's a question for our American Prime Minister - Joe Biden.
Don't soup him up... He is in the dreaming stage of the great democratic DREAM!! ONCE THE U. S. GETS ITS CLAWS SUNK DEEP INTO TAIWAN, YOU'LL wish you'd given mainland China a chance... Take it from someone who woke up and realized that the democratic system being practiced in the U. S. serves 1% of the U. S. Very well... Then those who are right below them feel superior as well, but know they have little chance of breaking that steel barrier to enter the realm of the 1%ers.. When you get to the middle class level, well see what they've been doing to the middle class?? A lot of them lost their businesses because govt in U. S. serves the will of the upper echelon... Aw why bother, most of you are just like those young teenagers who've still got their heads in a cloud!!!

Isn’t it now the best time for Taiwan to shine and become a better version of Afghanistan? Taiwan will not only be supported by the US but also by the NATO, Japan and Australia. The US will not only pay US soldiers to go over there but they’ll also pay Taiwanese soldiers to fight in Taiwan. Taiwan might be benefiting from US/NATO spending of trillion dollars to go to war with China for direct war fighting for training Taiwanese army for annual aid for Taiwan for the Taiwanese soldier payroll. So, Taiwan should keep beating the drums for another war, loudly proclaiming it is “time to act”.
@@cherubycarilla7523 'US goal is an endless war, not a successful war' Who got rich of arming the Taliban/ Afghanistan? US Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop-Grumman Lockheed-Martin and General dynamics quietly raked in billions of dollars from the slow-motion fiasco while the US taxpayers footed the bill. The US not only paid US soldiers to go over there but they also paid the Afghan soldiers MORE than US soldiers to fight there? Total cost was 2.26 trillion dollars 300 million dollars per day spent on this war for 20 years. 800 billion direct war fighting 269 billion US veterans 85 billion train the Afghan army 5 billion a year per in aid for Afghanistan 750 million for the Afghan soldier payroll So the US finds that it was cheaper to pay the Afghan army then actually send US soldiers there.

@GN M Ultimately it's the decision of the Taiwanese people to determine what is best for them. All these speculations are from outside the island itself. It's not war mongoring to be self determinate and clear. No Communist regime in history has ever worked for anything other than it's own directorate. China is not aggressive based on our actions, Beijing has built an army that pales Hitler's and Stalin's put together. They, not the people of China but their Government are driving the pace of the outcome. It is very sad and messy.
@@Kellyh7777 What Taiwanese people think or want matters very little sadly, Biden and Xi make decision for them, Taiwan government is a puppet government, that is the brutal reality.
Taiwan is the healthiest democracy in all of Asia. Japan is a one party state where the LDP won nearly every election for the past 70 years. South Korea had the daughter of the dictator leading the country until they were recently found be corrupt and jailed. India, Sri Lanka and the other countries of "South Asia" are also highly corrupt. Go Taiwan!

@SILENCE EMPEROR If China felt so strongly about Taiwan, why didn't they finish the job in 1949? Most of the current population of Taiwan who were born there will have no recollection of any way of life other than the one they have grown up in. Why should they kow-tow to pathetic bullies who use the excuse of loss of face as a reason for taking over Taiwan and materially altering the way of life of the Taiwanese people, as the CCP most assuredly will if they get their way?
@@龚淳 China is not a peaceful country,, and neither are they seeking peace with other countries but using aggression. Plenty of problems are spoken about from Chinese citizens in China...it is just not seen on state media/announced bg CCP, you are just being told a lie.
@Felix Garcia When you use quotes you are suppose to make it EXACTLY what they said. That is what quotes are for. Here is an example of how you went wrong; "Australians are a puppy state for all of us"-Felix Garcia.
Truth is Taiwan had chance to become fully independent 70 years ago and again in 1960s but they gave the chances away as they still thought they will regain control over Chia. Taiwan is still called Republic of China and it is still China (just small) and still dominated by Chinese from China. Taiwan should become independent but it will need to go back to native people of Taiwan not another Chinese.
Just realised now that Joseph Wu is already publicly blacklisted. That means he is now effectively a fugitive from Beijing and faces prosecution. As expected, the law also means that if you are blacklisted over Taiwan you are prohibited from all cooperation and business with Chinese entities. For enterprises and many organisations this spells out ruinous consequenc

Quite honestly this might be the best political interview I have ever seen (on Mr Wu's behalf that is - not the interviewer's). His responses are articulate, respectful, balanced, honest and bravely assertive. Congratulations and all power to you Minister Joseph Wu, President Tsai Ing-Wen, and your colleagues - for your leadership and stewardship of Taiwan through an unprecedented set of existential challenges. In recent years, you have done an extraordinary job in helping the global community understand Taiwan's situation and for that you should be proud, no matter what the future holds 👏👏👏

I think he asks good questions, in fact I'm surprised our foreign minister was able to answer without much dodging lol (except for when he asked if Taiwan would expect military aid in the event of war, such a question cannot be answered by a diplomat either way since agreeing would look like you take your allies for granted and disagreeing would look like you disvalue their partnership, I feel that Stan should have asked that to an analyst).

@NIC Lee What are you talking about? Was India not the one who actually fought and even killed dozens of Chinese soldiers most recently? India can do much if it wants to.
Why? Taiwan already own a nice piece of land, with a democratically elected government that reflects the will of the people that live on that island. Why does your claim usurp theirs?
Why not? Didn't Australia support freedom and democracy? Not to mention, If Republic of Taiwan is within Australia (landlocked), Australia will be in a position to leech Taiwan forever.
The separatist are doomed to fail and little do they know. They can't come to the US because they will be murdered just as a former Taiwanese was, a few years ago.
@Molan Dao in the future, those big companies will move their manufacturing to other countries, China will lose out millions of jobs. There's no more foreign market for Huawei, it might happen to XiaoMi soon. Samsung may move out since its market in China is shrinking. But Apple will stay in China, because it's a luxury brand like LV. And the PRC citizens loves superficial things like that.
@Molan Dao Supply and Demand, where there is demand there will be supply. Like how 茅台 liquor will always have demand, because you need to drink 茅台 with corrupt CCP officials and offer them bribes to do business in the PRC. Same Apple products and LV luxury goods will have demand, because they're seen as a status symbol just like 茅台.
Taiwan is a peaceful and respectful nation who will fight China alone if it needed too, and that’s why the Free World will help and stand with Taiwan. People who stand up for freedom never has to fights alone.

Taiwanese should not feel threatened, they only feel threatened because of their own propaganda vilifying Chinese. Chinese will only bring prosperity to the Taiwanese populace
@@jessedanielryder Taiwan has a higher GDP per capita than any part of the CCP's creation. Just like Hong Kong does (for now) The CCP has been pretty horrible at bringing prosperity. The best thing they did was stop trying to be communist for a few decades and consequently stop ruining any attempts by the Chinese people to gain wealth, but that's stopping. The worst thing that the CCP can do to places like Hong Kong and Taiwan is what it was going to do anyway if it was unopposed. Every day of freedom brought about by refusing their demands is a victory.
@@bobs_toys clearly you know nothing about GDP vs individual prosperity. Of course Taiwan would have a larger GDP per capita, all smaller states will tend to have larger GDP per capita based on the need to diversify their economies to support their country. Poverty in Taiwan is rife and their growth in terms of personal wealth is far less than that of China. They had support from Western nations all this time and have squandered it. The people in Taiwan overwhelmingly identify as Chinese and only the few brainwashed do not. As well, if you are looking at GDP, their GDP does not compare with municipalities in China like Shanghai or Guangzhou, so there is no argument here. As for 'freedom', the freedom to not be separated from their Chinese family is the ultimate freedom this dumb goal to try and separate and cessate Taiwan only causes division
@@jessedanielryder Welp I'm sorry you felt that way, you should really try to express your freedom of speech in China and see what comes to you. Let's pick a topic for you...

At that point, we might as well just close our eyes, and perish after we say our sorry to our grandparents who fought for the short lived freedom.

Taiwan manufactures a large percent of the world's semiconductors. And if China were to forcibly takeover Taiwan (after decades of claiming it own it), that could very well spark a world war. China's economy is increasingly dependent on them, yet China has little near-term or long-term ability to manufacture leading semiconductors. It remains extremely dependent (i.e., vulnerable) to other countries for them, especially the US.

Doesn't matter if they speak English or not. They are an important symbol of democracy. The result of any conflict against Taiwan could affect the direction of rule around the entire planet.
Fomenting war against other countries when there are domestic problems tends to be the sort of thing the USA and the UK do. China has no track record of doing that. Of course shows of strength by China on their borders are obviously not a pleasant experience but neither are shows of strength by the USA on China's borders halfway around the world from them, but I see no mention of that. Who could be most interested in creating insecurity in the area? Probably the country that has been in an almost constant state of war since WWII, mostly against much, much smaller countries than themselves and generally not doing a good job of winning those adventures. The armaments industry is the 2nd largest industry on the planet and 46% of that global industry is in the USA. 46% of the 2nd largest amount of money in the world can buy a huge chunk of the finest democracy and mainstream media money can buy including the radically war-mongering US foreign policy. War-mongering is incredibly profitable for them but disastrous for most people, as witness the USA's shrinking middle class and growing pool of working poor and homeless and our mob are leading us down the same path. By comparison China, who have not been in an almost constant state of war for decades, have raised their population out of dire poverty, have a growing middle class and the fastest growing economy in the world. Maybe it's time to give peace a chance, it seems to be economically streets ahead for the majority of people. But hey, feel free to keep believing the USA's war-mongering propaganda, it's your money they're stealing.

We must remember that democracy was never a given, our ancestors fought long and hard to ensure that we live in free countries that exist today.

To be honest, there no perfect system that fits all and it is because of these mixes that makes the world what it is today.

Fact remains that Taiwan is part of China according to its own constitution and passport, and under 1CP--One China Policy, is recognized as such by UN, US and every major country in the world. China has no need to invade Taiwan and the hyped up threats of military exercises is nothing more than standard practice by any country within its sovereign territory. Therefore, the biggest threat to Taiwan is not mainland China, but their current govt under DPP taking direction from US to escalate tensions and push the boundaries of independence.
Spoken like a true communist. "It's not our fault we seek to regain control over a piece of land that successfully fought for their freedom, it's their fault for not allowing me to drag them back like a drunken husband dragging his wife home after she got away." Freedom for Taiwan, the liberty bell will let freedom ring throughout the Pacific.
All the free loving countries should recognise Taiwan right away! Democratic countries should patrol the Taiwan Strait and the US should have a permanent military base in Taiwan.

Many might not realise what a big thing this interview is. The CCP has tried to stop other places airing interviews with the Taiwan foreign minister, because it’s like a recognition of their sovereignty (in the CCP’s eyes). So, putting this interview on our national TV station is like giving them the middle finger. I’m super pleased this was done, it’s a small but significant step.

For China this is all about money and lots of it. They could hardly care lesd about a little island like Taiwan but it is a flea on the back of China and they just want to scratch it yo show the 3orld they are the tough guys. Unfortunately for the rest of the world we are all trying to overcome Covid the apparent Chinese Bio Warfare weapon released on the world 2 years ago and few of us have had the time or the effort available to concentrate on China's expansionist policies. That is changing which is why there is a push by the communists to get something done now while the world is distracted If we allow Taiwan to go under Asia will be lost and who will be next...Us
I don’t see why the interviewer is being so proud in saying things like ‘oh we major countries are two faced and really only care about ourselves. While the Taiwanese guy is saying he believes in the right values. Is Taiwan the defender of democracy now?
@@柠檬-u5k I think Taiwan isn’t crying for help I am Taiwanese we hv faced the world as it is for a decade lol. Btw if you are Chinese u better worry about ur own lives. I myself find it amazing that people can have such a strong believe in democracy and keep standing up!
What democracy rubbishes. The real truth is how the government govern and conduct it's business that can brings progressive changes to enable her people to flourish. There are many democracy that are failing throughout the world with poor and hungry people who scavenger at rubbish pits. There are people who have no home and basically sleep on street with makeup shacks and litter everywhere including faeces.....even in USA, the mother of all democracy. The rampant uncontrollable random killings making the place insecure and dangerous to move around freely. All in the name of democracy?? No!! It's all about the government, the policy and the type of governing that's matters. Nothing is static, everything is evolving with times and so, don't cling on to the past perpetually.

Freedom and democracy this is only favorable slogan.
Taiwan will return to the motherland. It will happen regardless of what the pre-eminent imperialist nations think. If the U.S thinks supporting separatism to destroy China is going to be a good idea then they better be prepared for what's coming because it will hurt them big time.

@@deezeed2817 Yah, you are a Chinese pretending to be free in a Capitalist China with a iron fist ruler who is CCP
If you haven't been to Taiwan please go visit then you know how dirty Taiwan's politic is. Australia has no power to help Taiwan and did you hear anything about Xinjien's cotten problem from ABC? I did not, why not? because ABC was told shut up.
America never wanted to help Taiwan to defend, it is because America uses Taiwan card to bargain with China only. Australia futute is dim in Asia. American global leadership is about to collapse. Why? America spent all the money and resources to punish defence less countries. Something I would like to know is why the 2 five star American generals did able to win the war in Korea and Vietnam?

Taiwan will not only be supported by the US

Taiwan might be benefiting from US/NATO spending

for training Taiwanese army
for annual aid for Taiwan
for the Taiwanese soldier payroll.

while the US taxpayers footed the bill.
The US not only paid US soldiers to go over there
but they also paid the Afghan soldiers MORE than US soldiers

Total cost was 2.26 trillion dollars
300 million dollars per day

800 billion direct war fighting
269 billion US veterans
85 billion train the Afghan army
5 billion a year per in aid for Afghanistan

So the US finds that it was cheaper
to pay the Afghan army
then actually send US soldiers there.

"Do you feel threatened by mainland China?" Most idiotic question ever...
Simple question yields complex answer(s).
Taiwanese should not feel threatened, they only feel threatened because of their own propaganda vilifying Chinese. Chinese will only bring prosperity to the Taiwanese populace
@@jessedanielryder Taiwan has a higher GDP per capita than any part of the CCP's creation.
Just like Hong Kong does (for now)
The CCP has been pretty horrible at bringing prosperity. The best thing they did was stop trying to be communist for a few decades and consequently stop ruining any attempts by the Chinese people to gain wealth, but that's stopping.
The worst thing that the CCP can do to places like Hong Kong and Taiwan is what it was going to do anyway if it was unopposed. Every day of freedom brought about by refusing their demands is a victory.
@@bobs_toys clearly you know nothing about GDP vs individual prosperity. Of course Taiwan would have a larger GDP per capita, all smaller states will tend to have larger GDP per capita based on the need to diversify their economies to support their country. Poverty in Taiwan is rife and their growth in terms of personal wealth is far less than that of China. They had support from Western nations all this time and have squandered it. The people in Taiwan overwhelmingly identify as Chinese and only the few brainwashed do not. As well, if you are looking at GDP, their GDP does not compare with municipalities in China like Shanghai or Guangzhou, so there is no argument here.
As for 'freedom', the freedom to not be separated from their Chinese family is the ultimate freedom this dumb goal to try and separate and cessate Taiwan only causes division

Taiwan manufactures a large percent of the world's semiconductors. And if China were to forcibly takeover Taiwan (after decades of claiming it own it), that could very well spark a world war.
China's economy is increasingly dependent on them, yet China has little near-term or long-term ability to manufacture leading semiconductors. It remains extremely dependent (i.e., vulnerable) to other countries for them, especially the US.
Semis are a big deal. It's potentially one of the places where better US-China relations could help or at least ease this situation.
Guy is trying to be diplomatic and non provocative in his responses and Stan keeps pushing him into "war with china" dialogue. Respect to the minister for responding to all questions openly, even the stupid hypothetical ones.
God bless this man
God bless Taiwan - a peaceful democratic republic of China. Taiwan set a example for all Chinese and people of republic China to follow. God bless Taiwan!

Taiwan is using by the US as a front pawn trying to contain China's rapid growth. Once the US finish, it will dump Taiwan just it dumped Afghanistan after 20 years in there then running out with the tail in between its legs during the night time hours (just like Saigon years ago, when the US lose the war).

Doesn't matter if they speak English or not. They are an important symbol of democracy. The result of any conflict against Taiwan could affect the direction of rule around the entire planet.
@@ky-effect2717 I agree, taiwan is the center of the universe.
exactly.
Fomenting war against other countries when there are domestic problems tends to be the sort of thing the USA and the UK do. China has no track record of doing that. Of course shows of strength by China on their borders are obviously not a pleasant experience but neither are shows of strength by the USA on China's borders halfway around the world from them, but I see no mention of that.
Who could be most interested in creating insecurity in the area? Probably the country that has been in an almost constant state of war since WWII, mostly against much, much smaller countries than themselves and generally not doing a good job of winning those adventures.
The armaments industry is the 2nd largest industry on the planet and 46% of that global industry is in the USA. 46% of the 2nd largest amount of money in the world can buy a huge chunk of the finest democracy and mainstream media money can buy including the radically war-mongering US foreign policy.
War-mongering is incredibly profitable for them but disastrous for most people, as witness the USA's shrinking middle class and growing pool of working poor and homeless and our mob are leading us down the same path. By comparison China, who have not been in an almost constant state of war for decades, have raised their population out of dire poverty, have a growing middle class and the fastest growing economy in the world.
Maybe it's time to give peace a chance, it seems to be economically streets ahead for the majority of people. But hey, feel free to keep believing the USA's war-mongering propaganda, it's your money they're stealing.
You're promoting China when China is the instigator here. If China wasn't bullying Taiwan, then China could sell defense equipment to Taiwan.
Your view is very idealistic, but it's not the reality of what's happening. I think you've bought into the propaganda of the CCP a bit.
@@straight-up-shots
Basically I presented you with verifiable facts and all you could respond with was ad hominem assumptions and insults and zero refuting of those facts. Perhaps you've bought into the war-mongering propaganda of the USA or, on the other hand, maybe you would like to examine the facts I presented and give a thoughtful rebuttal.
I'm not promoting China, I'm promoting fairness and exposing the USA's war-mongering for profit. But as I said, it's your money they're stealing, if you want to keep them rich don't read what I wrote and for goodness sake don't think about it.

As a Taiwanese Australian, I'm proud and happy to see both countries looking to defend democracy and the rule of law. I only wish that Australia would recognise Taiwan. We must remember that democracy was never a given, our ancestors fought long and hard to ensure that we live in free countries that exist today. It might seem normal to us, but having true freedom to be whoever we want to be, say whatever we want to say without fear of punishment is not a version of "normal" for everyone in this world.
As an Australian, I wish we would recognise Taiwan as an independent country. I can't believe we don't!
Australia is a middle strong Country, they cannot protect themselves, how they can protect taiwan?
You means to have free speech, and to criticize, and able to throw eggs at president Macron and shoes at George Bush, discrimination, playing politics, fighting in parliament at the expense of the people, fake news press freedom and many more, your kind of democracy.
To be honest, there no perfect system that fits all and it is because of these mixes that makes the world what it is today.
Most importantly, a government must be able to deliver, ensure safety and security, provide infrastructure, affordable homes and employment, to progress and to achieve prosperity. Otherwise, it's all craps regardless types of government.
@@ericyeo805 well in that case Chinese communist party is definitely not up to the task. I d rather be able to criticise any wrong moves by the government and exercise my right to free speech and right to vote to get rid of any ill performing leaders like xi Jing ping out of office just like Donald trump was removed from office at the voters decision. How dangerous is it to allow one person total control of a country!
I agree no government model is ideal, but compared to xi Jing ping s china I would rather the democratic system, thank you
no, your ancestors were liars and cowards, probably even helped Japan invade other country, they abandoned their home - Taiwan just like you did, and now you want to bring war to Taiwan, doom all your relatives, what a vicious witch!
This man is a great leader. so calm, so sensible with clear vision.
Taiwan, a very beautiful country.
I support it from India❤️
As a Taiwanese, I'm proud of having a minister like him in our country
UNDER UNITED NATIONS, DO WE HAVE A COUNTRY CALLED TAIWAN????
Fact remains that Taiwan is part of China according to its own constitution and passport, and under 1CP--One China Policy, is recognized as such by UN, US and every major country in the world.
China has no need to invade Taiwan and the hyped up threats of military exercises is nothing more than standard practice by any country within its sovereign territory. Therefore, the biggest threat to Taiwan is not mainland China, but their current govt under DPP taking direction from US to escalate tensions and push the boundaries of independence.
Exactly
.. And by more weapons from USA, 19 billion in value last 3 years.
Spoken like a true communist.
"It's not our fault we seek to regain control over a piece of land that successfully fought for their freedom, it's their fault for not allowing me to drag them back like a drunken husband dragging his wife home after she got away."
Freedom for Taiwan, the liberty bell will let freedom ring throughout the Pacific.
All the free loving countries should recognise Taiwan right away! Democratic countries should patrol the Taiwan Strait and the US should have a permanent military base in Taiwan.
Why did the U.S. military abandon its base in Afghanistan and escape back to the U.S.?
Your idea is to let more U.S. soldiers die
nothing new
@@sdo888 The Afghan soldiers didn’t even want to fight for themselves; but the Taiwanese are very different. The Taiwanese people are smart and will fight China to the very end along side it’s friends and allies from around the world.
Many might not realise what a big thing this interview is. The CCP has tried to stop other places airing interviews with the Taiwan foreign minister, because it’s like a recognition of their sovereignty (in the CCP’s eyes). So, putting this interview on our national TV station is like giving them the middle finger. I’m super pleased this was done, it’s a small but significant step.
Spot on! Exactly my views. I don’t agree with Stan all the time but hosting this interview with Wu is a big point for Grant.
Wrong, by only airing this guy, then you only hear one side of the story from Taiwan. By not airing China's side of the story, then this is just biased propaganda.
China is a bully - straight up. Stop acting like a bully and then we can talk about hearing another side.
@Yun Ki Lee Wrong. We heard from the Chinese side a few weeks ago. That fellow showed everyone just how hysterical and illogical the CCP really are. We don’t need to hear any more!
Ironic you should mention propaganda. How much did you earn for your post?
Taiwan is a legitimate country of its own Their people wish to remain Democrativ and they see interference from China as provocative and unwarranted.
China eyes Taiwan as a strategic island gor use by them i future planned wars and for now as a financial windfall since their policies on China are sending them broke and they need a new income stream from Taiwans lucrative computer chip industry,untapped oil reserves, abundant fishing grounds and educated people. For China this is all about money and lots of it. They could hardly care lesd about a little island like Taiwan but it is a flea on the back of China and they just want to scratch it yo show the 3orld they are the tough guys. Unfortunately for the rest of the world we are all trying to overcome Covid the apparent Chinese Bio Warfare weapon released on the world 2 years ago and few of us have had the time or the effort available to concentrate on China's expansionist policies. That is changing which is why there is a push by the communists to get something done now while the world is distracted
If we allow Taiwan to go under Asia will be lost and who will be next...Us
Taiwan #1
Taiwan must protect itself at all cost from China and increase its military power.
I don’t see why the interviewer is being so proud in saying things like ‘oh we major countries are two faced and really only care about ourselves. While the Taiwanese guy is saying he believes in the right values. Is Taiwan the defender of democracy now?
The ABC is a bit more aligned with that side of politics than is ideal.

What democracy rubbishes. The real truth is how the government govern and conduct it's business that can brings progressive changes to enable her people to flourish.
There are many democracy that are failing throughout the world with poor and hungry people who scavenger at rubbish pits.
There are people who have no home and basically sleep on street with makeup shacks and litter everywhere including faeces.....even in USA, the mother of all democracy.
The rampant uncontrollable random killings making the place insecure and dangerous to move around freely.
All in the name of democracy?? No!! It's all about the government, the policy and the type of governing that's matters.
Nothing is static, everything is evolving with times and so, don't cling on to the past perpetually.
