Lian Shengwen said that he has watched Xie Guoliang's efforts in Keelung over the years and understands his feelings and investment in Keelung. Since taking office as mayor, Xie Guoliang has led the city government team to actively promote various constructions and policies. From urban development to citizens' lives, we can see the step-by-step efforts and changes.

Lian Shengwen emphasized that municipal construction requires time and accumulation, and it also needs continuation and stable promotion. He believes that Xie Guoliang sincerely wants to work for Keelung and has the ability to continue to lead the team to make Keelung progress. He asks all citizens to continue to support him and allow Xie Guoliang to continue serving in the Keelung City Government.

Xie Guoliang said that the city government has continued to promote sewage and sewer takeover in recent years. By the end of 2014, the number of households in the city under takeover had reached 75,255. The takeover rate ranked fifth in the country and ranked first among non-directly controlled municipalities on the island. Many urban constructions are usually invisible, but sewage and sewers are very important basic projects for improving living quality and urban environment. The city government will continue to do what needs to be done step by step.

Xie Guoliang particularly emphasized that pedestrian safety is also an important task that the city government has actively improved since taking office. Keelung's number of pedestrian accident deaths and injuries per 100,000 people in 2014 has improved significantly from 20th in the country in 2013 to 4th in the country and 2nd on the island. According to the latest statistics in the first half of this year, Keelung's pedestrian accident casualty rate has reached the second lowest in the country, showing that related improvement efforts are gradually showing results.
