It's been five years since our last competition, and we're excited to welcome all MADers back to the stage of "Mader Must Die."
So let's continue with a new round of fierce battle. However, this time, the opponent is not others but a challenge against ourselves.
Some of you may have already moved on from your university days of making MADs and cross-dressing in the community, and have now become a proud part of the working class. Some of our university friends haven't started working yet, but eventually, that day will come.
How about I make a bold guess and prediction?
Some people, after finding a boyfriend or girlfriend, have made their lives less dull despite work pressure, adding more flavor to it. But...
Some chose to become sports coaches, nurturing future athletes to bring glory to the country. But...
Some became artists, creating popular and relatable illustrations or comics. But...
But it's not easy for anyone. No one's journey is without challenges. We're just like the snail Jay Chou sang about, and we might not even have the wind to ride on.
The pressures of life will always be with us. This time, "Mader Must Die" aims to convey a more realistic meaning.
Do you want to fight? Then bring it on. Participating MADers, please choose a career category for your creation.
Love - Romance Theme
Sports Coach - Sports Theme
