[Reporter Lin Nangu/Report from Taipei] Lin Chunyu, chairman of Zhongzhuang Zaifu Palace, Zhongzhuang District, Taipei City, presented sugar cane to Mayor Chiang Wanan on the 26th, wishing Chiang a better chance of being elected president. However, it was later revealed that Chiang did not take the sugar cane with him. The Taipei City Government reported Chiang Wanan’s statement, claiming that he gave the sugar cane to the mayor that day and neglected to take it back after the event. He called Lin to apologize. In this regard, Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party, who also received a gift of sugar cane, said, "We attach great importance to our sugar cane and keep it in the office like a treasured sword."

Xie Yaozhou, the host of TVBS "National Assembly", commented on the matter in a Facebook post, saying that the temple gave the sugar cane that Jiang Wanan had been given to the village chief for safekeeping, but he neglected to take it back. He rarely said harsh words: "This oversight is really outrageous. Humanity is the most basic thing. With so many entourage, no one can take it?"

After Xie Yaozhou posted the post, some netizens left a message: "They came only after the election...so they just give it away casually." In response to this, Xie Yaozhou responded that the netizen made a mistake: "They carefully selected a lot of knots, and then they were thrown away."

Both Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan attended the Christmas dinner at Zhongzhuang Zaifu Palace on the same day. Lin Chunyu presented Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan with sugarcane that they had worshiped the God of Heaven. However, compared to the two, Jiang's sugarcane had too many knots and was sour that it would never come back. Later, it was found on the roadside next to the temple. Taipei City Councilor Lin Liangjun asked Lin Chunyu for confirmation afterwards, and Lin Chunyu said helplessly: "According to custom, it is really bad not to take away the things given by others!" In contrast, Shen Boyang's sugar cane was enshrined in the soon-to-be-established competition headquarters. Shen's staff said, "The sugar cane given by the gods must be offered properly!
