Ocean Current Festival takes the stage to sing! Shen Boyang’s message: Let’s create Taipei history together on 11/28

Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party Shen Boyang held the "Ocean Current Festival" music event today. He took the stage at around 6 p.m. to share with the public that in 228 Park, a place full of history, everyone is invited to create the history of Taipei City together in two weeks in this place that inherits the spirit of music, rebellion, and diversity. After his speech, he also sang the campaign theme song "Taipei Shun Up" live.

Shen Boyang said that in traditional campaigning, sometimes impassioned speeches are made on stage, but the sense of participation in the audience is not enough, so the team has been thinking about how to hold more activities so that everyone can participate and interact, so they came up with the idea of ​​holding a music festival and placing a policy island in the middle for everyone to interact.

He said that democratic participation is different now. Everyone is the master of the city. He has always emphasized citizenism. There are citizens first and then the mayor. Everyone is the master of the city. If more interactive spaces can be created, everyone's memory will not only be with friends or themselves today, but also remember what the people around them exchanged and talked about today, or what stage they heard the music they liked together. This time, it is very important to bring people together.

He believes that music transcends blood lines, regions, and countries and is the common language of mankind. The reason why he likes "Hatsune" is precisely because creators all over the world can use such sounds to compose their favorite music. Today, he also hopes to let everyone feel the connection between people. A few days ago, he called on everyone to go back to their hometowns to vote, and mentioned the smell of returning home. This is a deep connection in memory, and the same goes for sounds and music.

He revealed that he chose 228 Park because he once participated in an orchestra and performed here. During the Japanese colonial period, this new park was built and there were many Western orchestral performances. In the 1930s and 1940s, we had our own folk songs. There were also many Taiwanese songs such as "Looking at the Spring Breeze" and "Rainy Night Flowers", which were played here for everyone through the broadcasting station at that time. Therefore, music in 228 Park has important historical significance.

Shen Boyang mentioned that he posted on the social media a few days ago and wrote: "Looking back at history, it is better to witness history; to witness history, it is better to participate in history; to participate in history, it is better to create history." Many people asked what this meant. He explained that we are now in a historical location and in the midst of a torrent. We inherit history and we must also create history.

He said that this election campaign used many different methods and more citizens participated in it. If you look at this election a few years later, it is looking back at history; if you look at the results on the day of the voting, you are witnessing history; but everyone here is different. If you participate in the event, you are participating in history; if, If you go to the polling station on November 28 and cast your vote, you will be making history. So please join him in making history. In this historic 228 Park, in this place that inherits the spirit of music, rebellion, and diversity, we can gather our hopes for the future and create the history of Taipei City together.
