Yesterday, Taipei County “councilor”
King Chieh-shou received a postcard from “Lin Guo-wu,” depicting [Taiwan President] Ma Ying-jeou and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an
indecent image. The "councilor" suspected that the postcard could be a
reaction against the importation of U.S. beef. But police have discovered that Lin
Guo-wu is a real artist, and will investigate into
whether he sent the postcard.

[Editor's Note: Since China
doesn't recognize the authority of Taiwan's president or government,
considering the island one of its provinces, this article puts quotation marks
around the word councilor, and omits Ma Ying-jeou's
title of president.]
According to Taiwan's TVBS4,
the postcard made "councilor" King Chieh-shou
shout, “This is too much!” In the picture, Ma's upper body is nude as he stands
on two stone pillars; below him is Clinton. The picture is quite indecent and
is signed with the words “Lin Guo-wu,” and the date “2009.” Because it contains depictions of Ma
and Clinton, the councilor said he suspected that it has something to do with
U.S. beef.
"Councilor" King
said, “This insult of the president of the Republic of China and the U.S.
secretary of state is likely because recently, the U.S. government forced
Taiwan to import its beef.”
Nowadays, well-known figures
in Taiwan and U.S. political circles have become targets of time-wasters.
Several postcards have been mailed out, and it's still not clear who has
received them. But police believe that the crimes of disseminating obscene
material and libel have been committed. To identify the sender, they have traced
the postcard using the postmark stamp to the Beimen
post office, from where it was sent on Oct. 30.
It is now understood that Lin
is a 47–year-old artist who has a degree in fine art from the Chinese Culture
University in 1988, specializing in oil painting, sculpture and ink and wash
painting. Much of his work is commentary on global affairs. This is in keeping
with the style of the postcard. And according to a description of him in the National
Cultural Directory, the words on the postcard and his use of slogans like “Chinese
Imperialism” are similar. But whether the artist is the one who sent the
postcards is what Taipei County police will be trying to discover when they
interview him.
