The Democratic Progressive Party's candidate for Yunlin County Mayor Liu Jianguo held the inauguration meeting of the Huwei Campaign Headquarters this afternoon (18th). More than 5,000 supporters at the scene shouted "frozen garlic". Former President Tsai Ing-wen took the stage to assist in the speech. She first felt bad for Liu, but he did it all for Yunlin. She called on everyone to canvass for Liu Jianguo's votes. If he is elected, the central government will fully support what he will do.
Tsai Ing-wen arrived at the scene at about 4:30 p.m., and her supporters kept cheering. Tsai Ing-wen even presented a large wooden top to symbolize "brave transformation, and the cloud forest is moving." Because Tsai Ing-wen, who has been active on the Internet recently, repeatedly called netizens "real" (referring to babies), people in the audience frequently shouted "real", and cheers continued. Tsai Ing-wen responded to supporters in the audience, "I want to tell everyone, I have to catch the high-speed train to Taoyuan later, so you want me to speak so that I can finish my speech. Is that okay?
Tsai Ing-wen first went through the details. Liu Jianguo has achieved major achievements for the local government, including promoting the "Three Agricultural Laws" to allow farmers who have worked hard all their lives to enjoy occupational accidents, natural disaster insurance and retirement savings protection. In addition, he has worked with the central government to rectify the dust problem in Zhuoshui Creek. He has also actively arranged for long-term care and medical upgrades, spawning the "National Research Center for Geriatric Medicine and Health and Welfare", and won funding for the second phase expansion of the Huwei Campus of National Taiwan University Hospital, and promoted the construction of the "Tiger Tide" waterfront to create a livable living space.
Tsai Ing-wen said that looking at the future of Yunlin, Liu Jianguo has drawn up a forward-looking blueprint. Based on the "Agricultural Capital" laid by former county magistrate Su Zhifen, he will promote the "AI Agriculture Dual Core Park", introduce AI and biotechnology, and help agricultural products enter the international market. At the same time, he will make full use of the advantages of the high-speed rail special zone and work with local colleges and universities to build a drone industry and a youth entrepreneurship park, attracting young people to take the high-speed rail to return home to deepen their cultivation and take care of their families.
Tsai Ing-wen emphasized that even though she has resigned as president, she will still work closely with President Lai Ching-te and the central team to fully support the construction of Yunlin. She implored the villagers to show their unity and use the power of "one person to get 10 votes" to generate the energy to win the election. Together, they will send Liu Jianguo to the county government and restore Yunlin to a new era of development.
