In March of 1993, several supporters of the New KMT Alliance, a KMT faction composed primarily of second-generation mainlanders that was a predecessor of the New Party, left Taipei to make speeches in Kaohsiung, which is overwhelmingly Taiwanese. Unexpectedly, they encountered violent resistance from the locals in what became known as the "March 14 Incident." To the present day, memories of that day still frighten people.
民國八十二年三月，在台北有許多支持者的新國民黨連線南下高雄舉辦演講，不料遭到當地民眾強烈抵制，爆發流血衝突的「三一四事件」，至今叫人餘悸猶存。
