The Ciyou Temple in Xinzhuang, New Taipei City, coincides with the 340th anniversary of the founding of the temple. President Lai Qingde and Su Qiaohui, the Democratic Progressive Party's New Taipei City mayoral candidate and legislator, went to the temple to pay incense and pray for blessings. Lai Qingde mentioned that it was Su Qiaohui who suggested a 10,000-yuan "AI bonus" for next year. Su Qiaohui said that many DPP legislators had a consensus at the time. Therefore, she reported this proposal to President Lai and Chief Executive Officer Zhuo Rongtai on behalf of her. She thanked President Lai and the ruling team for making a quick decision after weighing the government's financial expenditure. As soon as the general budget is passed next year, all people will receive 10,000 yuan. She will continue to fight for resources for citizens and friends to drive the continued development of New Taipei.

Therefore, when the Executive Yuan is preparing the annual general budget, many Democratic Progressive Party legislators have reached a consensus and hope that part of the government tax revenue will be used to distribute cash so that the people can directly enjoy economic dividends. Therefore, as everyone's representative, she reported this proposal to Lai Qingde and Zhuo Rongtai. She also thanked the ruling team for their prompt decision.

Parking spaces for cars and 140 parking spaces for motorcycles will alleviate the problem of insufficient local parking space; strive for the "National Film and Audio-visual Culture Center" to stay in Xinzhuang, providing 830 parking spaces for local cars and motorcycles, and have the opportunity to develop into the "Three Gold Museum" that gathers "Golden Songs, Golden Horses, and Golden Bells".

She also thanked Ciyou Palace for its long-term support of local public welfare, enthusiasm for social charity, and support for local police, fire protection and other public affairs. She looked forward to the opportunity to work with everyone in the future to continue to promote the progress of Xinzhuang.
