Font size

The first televised debate of the Taipei mayoral election was held at 12 noon today. The Democratic Progressive Party’s Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan’s defense attracted attention. Ko Wenzhe, the founding chairman of the People’s Party, pointed out that due to his busy schedule today, he did not watch the two debates in full. However, he had long said that Chiang Wanan should calm down and talk about what he has done. “Don’t be frightened by the ocean currents.” This debate was pretty much what he expected.

In the evening, Ko Wenzhe accompanied Liu Qinyu, the party's Xitun District City Council candidate, to participate in a Halloween event in Taichung. In response to the debate between Shen and Chiang Kai-shek, which attracted much attention from all walks of life, Ke Wenzhe said that he had been catching the high-speed train all day today. He did not watch the debate from beginning to end. He only searched for online news and some key headlines. But he said at the beginning, "Chiang Wanan Just calm down." Because those seeking re-election have the advantage of being in office. If a challenger comes to ask the municipal government after being the mayor of Taipei for four years, no matter what, he will definitely have an advantage. "Don't be scared by the current." Just calm down and talk about what you have done; he feels that this debate is similar to what he expected.

In addition, during the debate, Jiang Wanan thanked the previous mayors of Taipei, including Ko Wenzhe. In this regard, Ko Wenzhe only said that municipal administration is just one stick after another. He just did the job he had to do. He never thought about how people in the future would thank him. Just like when he was a doctor at National Taiwan University for 30 years, he was asked He had saved so many people, but as a doctor he had forgotten about it. "Should I make a mark every time I save a person and come back at the end of the year to see if he has come back to thank me?" Being a doctor is a doctor's bounden duty to save people, and being a mayor is just to do the municipal work that should be done.
