With 27 days left before the nine-in-one general election, candidates from all camps stepped up their efforts to canvass grassroots votes. Unexpectedly, KMT Taipei City Councilor Wang Zhibing, who is seeking re-election, went to the market to sweep the streets today (11/1) to solicit votes. He was suspected of hitting a woman who was unwilling to shake hands. The footage was exposed and triggered public criticism. DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's campaign media coordinator Zhou Xuan jumped out to name the current mayor Chiang Wanan, asking him to explain his position and apologize.

Today, when Wang Zhibing accompanied Jiang Wanan's wife, Shi Fangen, to sweep the streets at Shilin Shezi Market to ask for votes, an old woman running a stall refused to shake hands. In the process of waving her hands, Wang Zhibing seemed to have waved at Wang Zhibing. Wang Zhibing immediately felt dissatisfied, turned around and asked emotionally and loudly, "Why did you hit me?" He also slapped the old woman's shoulders and back, and then the two sides broke out into a quarrel. The sudden episode was all captured by media cameras and sparked heated discussions online. The outside world angrily criticized the city council members for "beating people."

In response, Zhou Xuan forwarded the relevant video on Facebook, "Mayor Jiang Wanan, please come out and apologize! Is this behavior of your party's Congressman Wang Zhibing acceptable to you?" Netizens also went to blast Wang Zhibing's Facebook, "You hit your grandma, do you really think you have great rights?", "This is the first time I saw a congressman hit a voter...", "You This kind of performance is really bad." "I will definitely stay away from you when I see you in the future. I'm afraid of being beaten." "Hit people! Are members of Congress above the voters?", "First call people eat shit, then call them cockroaches and rats, and now I hit people if I don't feel like it... Why should I retire if I can't stand the torment?", "This is the first time I've seen you beat a public servant of the people."
