2013 is the year of Shoeing kick-started in Taiwan, from students, housewives to social activists were all crazy about throwing their shoes at Ma Ying-jeou (the president of the Republic of China in-exile & KMT) and some of his men, whenever opportunity presents. Due to the public discontent climbs while the economy, employment and social justice continues to nosedive, also Ma's ongoing mistreatment of imprisoned and ailing Chen Shui-bian, the ex-president and his controversial conviction at a no-jury trial, to those unhappy with Ma's tilt to China, along with anger over the brutal death of an army conscript, and the wiretap scandal involving the Legislative Yuan... the list goes on. 自2013年起,隨著倒馬風潮的興起,對馬英九丟鞋的情況急速增加。抗議者在馬英九參加任何活動時丟鞋。11月10日到達最高潮,將近50個社運團體的929社運連線發起萬人威鞋,相約在台中梧棲中港體育館召開的中國國民黨第19屆全國代表大會中,集體朝馬扔鞋一整天。清水分局長劉錫明說_動員中彰投等警局近五百具拒馬,全力戒備。
