Tsai said: “(I brought in) ten kinds of ‘Tainan Good Noodles’ to show my gratitude to you all. May our epidemic prevention efforts be exhaustive in all aspects. Everyone here is a hero in the hearts of our people. I think, in fact, this noodle should later on be called ‘the Heroes’ Noodles.’”

In a video called “The Taiwan Model” it says: “People who are honest are braver than those who deceive themselves.” Tsai posted the video on Facebook on May 19, documenting the “Taiwan Model” in every part of society: “Many unsung heroes hold fast to their posts, the government and the people stood united to together protect Taiwan.” Though only 5 minutes long, the video has touched many netizens.
