Jiang Wanan and his wife Shi Fanggen accepted an exclusive interview with program producer Wang Weizhong to discuss the election campaign and family life.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, who has been repeatedly called upon, finally took his wife Shi Fanggen to an exclusive interview with program producer Wang Weizhong yesterday. Political commentator Wen Langdong said that Wang Weizhong simply opened a batting practice field and frequently hit the ball, but Jiang Wanan could not get any hits and frequently hit out of bounds.
Wen Langdong posted on Facebook today that Wang Weizhong's interview looked like small talk, but in fact there were "ten theme balls" and "one main axis: the force." The content structure is rigorous and the planning skills are evident. The first goal was to ask my wife why she came out now. At the beginning, Wang Weizhong mentioned the United Daily News poll of the day, saying that Jiang Wanan "is a little behind now", and then asked the couple whether they had agreed to support the election from the beginning, or whether they only came out at this juncture. This question may seem like a small talk, but it is actually asking him if he is willing to admit that he needs help from his family. Jiang Wanan said that he would ask his wife to come out during the final stages of several elections in the past because she was really busy and had too many schedules. Wang Weizhong immediately changed his words for him, "Don't say you are busy, you actually need her help."
Wen Langdong said that Wang Weizhong had already demonstrated his swing in the last ball, and the second ball was an attack on the net. Wang Weizhong asked him what bitterness he had complained to his wife recently and whether he would be greatly affected by online news. Jiang Wanan's answer was that he was very busy and rarely saw every online news. He went home and listened to his wife telling him how he was doing today, so "it's actually not bad." Wang Weizhong then spoke out about the external criticism of "empty safety" and "question A and answer B". What the football king Weizhong wanted was how a mayor should face the ridicule of the outside world. What Jiang Wanan handed over was that he didn't watch the Internet very much, and his wife would watch it for him.
The third ball was against the wind and powerless. Wang Weizhong asked the couple how to deal with setbacks. Jiang Wanan said that they would chat no matter how late they got home. "She thinks I look very powerless now." Wang Weizhong followed this sentence and said that when he was a legislator four years ago, he was very good at saying, "Have you been too old and too courageous in the past four years?" Halfway through the question, he turned to Shi Fanggen, "I think you will also notice some changes in him, right?" He then said that he was leading half a year ago and was the leader of the Blues, "Why has it changed like this in this situation?" This question is about acknowledging headwinds and setbacks. As a result, after Shi Fanggen finished speaking, Jiang Wanan did not catch the ball.
The fourth ball is the life of ordinary people, which is where Wang Weizhong's main axis "the force" gives hints. Wang Weizhong asked again the question of Yangmingshan four years ago. Jiang Wanan said that now he often goes to Yangmingshan with his wife and children to walk and eat wild vegetables, and also goes to Beitou to soak in hot springs. Wang Weizhong finished for him as "a more life-oriented political figure." Wen Langdong pointed out that mountains, forests, children and home are not idle chatter, but good goals given to Jiang Wanan by Wang Weizhong. These pieces put together are the "force" that Wang Weizhong hinted at.
The fifth ball returns to the campaign against the wind. Wang Weizhong listed the doubts raised by the outside world in one breath: underestimating the enemy, not being active, busy with municipal affairs... Jiang Wanan wanted to start with other polls, but Wang Weizhong interrupted him and said, "Don't worry about anything else, just talk about this poll." He then asked, "What inspiration and method have you been given?" Jiang Wanan then admitted that he had never encountered such a fierce election campaign. Wen Langdong believes that Wang Weizhong's interruption is also a hint: Don't deny the headwind, which will give you the opportunity to reshape your personality. But Jiang Wanan couldn't hear what was going on, and thought that Wang Weizhong's unfavorable opinion polls were meant to harm him.
Wen Langdong finally concluded that this interview was like an essay title. Wang Weizhong chose "The Force" as the title and asked Jiang Wanan to write an essay using the following keywords: "love wife, love children, love nature, athletes, headwind, caution, vulnerability, crying, kindness". Give this question to a Jianzhong student, he will know how to get points. But Jiang Wanan may have graduated too long ago. Immediately, Chiang’s team announced that Chiang Wanan was feeling unwell and would rest until Saturday’s debate.
