When Hsu Hsin-liang left the KMT, he said "In my heart I'll always be a KMT member," and when he studied abroad he had a KMT scholarship. Chen Shui-bian got a KMT special medal before Ma Ying-jeou ever did-he's a long-standing, outstanding KMT member.
許信良退出國民黨後還說「此心常為國民黨黨員」，他拿過國民黨中山獎學金去留學；阿扁拿到國民黨特種獎章時，小馬哥還沒拿到，等於是資深優秀國民黨員。
