Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, has recently been running land campaigns to gain "voter awareness." On September 2, when he went to the Nanjing Airport Night Market, he encountered people shouting "Let's take Taipei together and build Taiwan" while taking photos. He kept smiling and thanked him; the next day he even responded more enthusiastically, "If they are happy, I am happy." Unexpectedly, the two met again yesterday (September 30) at the Nanmen Market Safety Banquet. "Brother Boqi" presented coffee beans roasted by himself and said that he sincerely supported it. In an interview today, Shen Boyang said that he was surprised to see the other party yesterday, but he was very happy. This is what a democratic society is. Regardless of whether it is for or against, as long as we can discuss each other, it is a good thing.

"Brother Boqi" Mr. Xu also attended the Nanmen Market safety banquet yesterday and presented coffee beans roasted by Shen Boyang himself. According to the "Mirror" report, Mr. Xu claimed that he wanted to create publicity for Shen Boyang when he shouted the slogan "From Taipei to Taiwan". He was indeed featured in many media and let more people know about Shen Boyang, which made him very happy and emphasized that he sincerely supported it.

Shen Boyang said in an interview today that he was quite surprised when he saw the other party. He didn’t meet the other party when he visited the Nanmen Market last time. The other party’s coffee happened to be sold in the Nanmen Market. The two parties also had a simple interaction yesterday. They were very happy to see each other again.

He said that at least the atmosphere of this meeting was very different from the last time. This is what a democratic society is like. No matter whether everyone agrees or opposes, we can meet more and discuss more. The other party is also really kind. In addition to delivering coffee, he also teaches how to brew it. He is a very sincere person. Although the other party still has ideas about his political stance and may not necessarily fully agree with it, as long as everyone can discuss it with each other, this is really a good thing.

Open Questions

  • What is Mr. Xu’s specific background?
  • What are the follow-up plans for Shen Boyang’s voter awareness-raising activities?
  • Will this kind of political interaction become the norm in election campaigns?
