Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and current Taipei mayor Chiang Wanan both attended the Christmas dinner at Zhongzhuang Tsai Fudong Palace in Zhongshan District on the 26th and received sugar cane. However, the sugarcane given to Chiang Wanan was found carelessly discarded next to the temple on the 28th, triggering a public outcry. Lin Chunyu, the chairman of the temple, confirmed that the sugar cane was planted by an elderly man in his 80s and dedicated it to the landowner.

After the incident, netizens criticized Jiang Wanan for not respecting God and the elders, and related discussions continued to ferment.
