Shen Boyang, a Taipei mayoral candidate from the Democratic Progressive Party, attended the "Friends of Traditional Chinese Medicine Support Meeting" on the 4th. About 300 people attended the meeting. When they saw Shen Boyang entering the venue, they immediately stood up, screamed and shouted, waving "Taipei Comes Together" flags. Some people used "Your Mayor Shen Boyang" streamers as hair ties and tied them into beautiful bows. Shen Boyang said, "My life has been continued by Chinese medicine." He received a lot of support from it, so he has a deep affection for Chinese medicine.

Shen Boyang said that his parents divorced when he was a child, and he lived in Taichung for a while. He moved back to Taipei because of an illness that could not be cured, and the burden became increasing. Therefore, he returned to Taipei for treatment. It was actually urticaria, but it was so severe that he was sent to the emergency room three times a week. The swelling was so big that he could not sleep. He went to the emergency room in the middle of the night. His health was very bad during those years. Later, when she passed a traditional Chinese medicine clinic on Bade Road, her stepmother saw a long queue and her father wanted to be a dead horse, so she took him to see a doctor.

Shen Boyang pointed out that after entering, he got into trouble because he felt unwell and wanted to go home. In addition, the Chinese medicine table was very high. When he jumped up and pulled it, all the medicine spilled on the ground. He also argued with his father at the counter. The doctor said he would be fine soon, so he dubiously took a pill and went home. After taking it for a week, the urticaria has never happened again, and it has never happened again until now. Later I went to find out that the original doctor had left and his son was now taking over the business.

The Kuomintang dug out Shen Boyang's old article to attack its stance on drugs. Jiang Wanan followed suit and posted an article that was criticized by netizens, and doctors and nurses condemned it.

The Kuomintang dug up an article on drug prevention and control that Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, published in the "Think Forum" more than ten years ago, and took it out of context to accuse him of condoning drug abuse. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan of the Kuomintang followed up and criticized it in a Facebook post. However, it triggered an influx of hundreds of thousands of messages, many of which were condemned by medical staff as ignorant and evil. Jiang Wanan's team called the comments a green camp cyber army and a robot account. Shi Jingzhong, a famous doctor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at National Taiwan University, ironically made netizens laugh with his AI-fit photo.
