 A similar slogan in Irish republicanism is ‘Tiocfaidh ár lá’; and in South Africa, the call–response ‘Amandla!– Ngawethu!’

An early use of this phrase appeared in the second chapter ‘Sin Tâi-ôan kap Lô-má-jī ê Koan-hē’ (‘A new Taiwan and its relationship with Latinized orthography’) of 's 1925 book "Cha̍p-hāng Koán-kiàn" (‘Ten Humble Opinions’).The phrase is also associated with Taiwanese nativist Christian theological currents of the 1970s, most notably Chhut-thâu-thiⁿ Theology.
