Huang ran for a seat on the Legislative Yuan in 1980,a year after his elder brother Huang Hsin-chieh was arrested for leading the Kaohsiung Incident. [2] Relatives of other people involved in the Kaohsiung Incident also contested the 1980 election cycle and won,namely Chou Ching-yu and Hsu Jung-shu. [3] [4] While in office,Huang published several magazines affiliated with the tangwai movement,among them Vertical-Horizontal,Political Monitor,and Bell Drum Tower. [5] [6] Copies of the fifth issue of Bell Drum Tower were confiscated by the Kuomintang party-state in May 1983, [7] and Political Monitor was suspended in November. [5] After losing reelection in December, [8] Huang founded Neo Formosa Weekly in June 1984. [5] [9] Neo Formosa Weekly also drew the attention of the government,which banned all but one of its 52 issues. [5] [9] On 19 June 1984,"A Critique of New Marxism" was published in Neo Formosa Weekly,accusing Elmer Fung of plagiarism. Fung sued the magazine for libel in October. [10] On 12 January 1985,the Taipei District Court sentenced Chen Shui-bian,Lee I-yang and Huang Tien-fu to a year's imprisonment. [11] Upon appeal to the Taiwan High Court,all three sentences were shortened to eight months. [12] [13] The trio were released in February 1987. [14] Huang contested the 1989 Legislative Yuan primary for Taipei,but lost. [15] By forming an electoral coalition with Shen Fu-hsiung,Yeh Chu-lan,and Yen Chin-fu,Huang was elected to the Third Legislative Yuan. [16] [17] After Chen Shui-bian won the 2000 presidential election,he offered Huang a position as senior adviser, [18] which Huang held through 2006. [19] [20] Days before the 2008 presidential election,Huang stated,"I'm afraid that Taiwan will become the next Tibet. If the KMT wins the election,we don't know when we will [get the presidency] back." [21] He served the Tsai Ing-wen administration as national policy adviser.
