Kuomintang legislator Li Yanxiu said at the Kuomintang anti-drug rally on the 9th that "in the future, social workers will provide drug addicts with drugs and poisons in the community to treat their addiction." The rumors and smear remarks triggered a backlash from social workers' groups, demanding that she publicly apologize to social workers. Li Yanxiu expressed her respect for social workers and opposed "the establishment of community centers to provide drug users with drugs and clean needles, and the introduction of social work mechanisms to assist." Zhang Yumeng, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Generation Community Good Association, questioned this: "The situation is so ugly, do Jiang Wanan and Li Yanxiu still feel that they are always right?"
Zhang Yumeng said that Li Yanxiu's original words at that time were: "Now the community is a place where everyone dances and exercises every day. In the future, social workers will be there, and there will be many drug addicts who come to give drugs and poisons to treat their addiction. What a harm this is to the community." The remarks made the social work community furious. The National Federation of Social Workers Associations of the Republic of China immediately issued a statement: "Social workers are not drug providers! Please stop misleading the professional role of social work and return addiction prevention to science and professionalism." It demanded that Li Yanxiu publicly apologize to social workers.

Zhang Yumeng mentioned that what was outrageous was that after Li Yanxiu was scolded, he started asking questions A and B, saying that since she became a legislator, she had "long been concerned about the excessive working hours of social workers." However, she insisted on saying it again, saying that she was "firmly opposed to the establishment of community centers to provide drug users with drugs and clean needles, and to introduce social work mechanisms to assist." Zhang Yumeng continued that Li Yanxiu delayed for two days without apologizing, but the one who came out to apologize was New Taipei City Councilmember Cai Shujun of the Kuomintang who was also present yesterday. Zhang also questioned: "Li Yanxiu, who talked nonsense, did not apologize himself, but the Kuomintang congressman next to him apologized first. What kind of scene is this?"
Zhang Yumeng said that when Jiang Wanan was asked about the incident on the 10th, he was still escorting Li Yanxiu, saying that the source of the entire incident was Shen Boyang's 2014 article. Zhang Yumeng criticized: "It's ridiculous. If something happens to Jiang Wanan now, Shen Boyang is to blame. How is this different from blaming Lai Qingde for something in the past? Li Yanxiu is now the spokesperson for Jiang Wanan's campaign. Jiang Wanan, does he agree with Li Yanxiu's remarks?"
Zhang Yumeng mentioned that the Taipei City Social Workers Professional Union directly announced that it would attack Li Yanxiu's Nangang Service Office on Monday morning and personally ask her to apologize. Li Yanxiu had better pray, because all social workers in Taipei happen to not live in Nangang, Inner Hunan. Zhang questioned: "Does Jiang Wanan still want to be elected?"
Finally, Zhang Yumeng also said: "Jiang Wanan asked Li Yanxiu to be his spokesperson, and he was able to get it to be protested by Taipei City social workers 47 days before the election. The situation is so ugly, do Jiang Wanan and Li Yanxiu still feel that they are always right?"
