A video of inflatable Republic of China (ROC) honor guards dancing “Gangnam style” has gone viral on the Internet. One netizen said, “I laughed till I cried.” The video has been seen almost 140,000 times, a number even the Recruitment Center of the National Armed Forces, which was responsible for the performance, finds unbelievable.
After the event ended, a video titled “Air Force One, you are just too cute” was uploaded to YouTube (https://youtu.be/qFMUAHUZXYc), surprisingly receiving a high number of clicks in just three days. One after another, netizens clicked “like” and left appreciative comments like “I saw this in the middle of the night and laughed till I was in stitches” and “They are working so hard, they should be given an award.”
That day, 8,000 Chung Shan Industrial and Commercial School students first sang songs and performed a flag raising ceremony, and when the present military delegation saw how energetic all the more than 8,000 students were, they said, “There may not be as many of us, but we’re not going to do any worse. We will do our very best.”
