Artist Luo Dayou commented on female politicians who are not married or have children, sparking continued discussions in the political arena. KMT chairwoman Cheng Lai-wen, who also has no children, was traveling south to Tainan this afternoon to accompany mayoral candidate Hsieh Long-chie to vote. When asked what she thought of Luo Dayou's remarks, she simply said, "Very good," without further explanation.

In addition, regarding whether she will discuss policies related to childbirth, marriage and artificial reproduction with candidates during the auxiliary election process in the future, Zheng Liwen returned the focus to the main focus of the election, saying that these issues should be based on the political opinions proposed by the candidates and respect the plans of each candidate.

The controversy stemmed from Luo Dayou's recent interview with the program, in which he named former President Tsai Ing-wen, Vice President Hsiao Meiqin, and former Supervisory Director Chen Ju as unmarried and childless, questioning their level of concern for the next generation, which immediately aroused a debate between pros and cons from all walks of life. In the face of relevant remarks, Tsai Ing-wen and Hsiao Meiqin responded publicly, emphasizing that women's reproductive choices should be respected. Even if they do not have children of their own, their original intention in entering politics is still to protect Taiwan's next generation.

When Cheng Lai Man saw a post on a social platform where netizens supported Luo Dayou's statement, she left a "+1" message to express her agreement. At that time, it also triggered discussions between some netizens and politicians, pointing out that Cheng Lai Man herself did not have children. Today, she appeared in Tainan to stand in for Hsieh Ryong-suke. When asked about the topic again, she chose to respond in a low-key manner with three words: "Very good."
