At the beginning of the month, it was reported that students at Jinhua Junior High School in Da'an District, Taipei City, had diarrhea after eating nutritious lunch rolls. Democratic Progressive Party Councilor Chien Shupei disclosed the matter, but the Municipal Education Bureau said that the councilman was an "incompetent mistake." Principal Huang Qiqing issued an open letter to apologize to students during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Media person Zhan Lingyu pointed out that it is very sad for a junior high school principal to use the words "I personally bear all administrative responsibilities" to take bullets for those above him. However, Jiang Wanan said "rumor-mongering, cognitive warfare, and fear mongering." Zhan Lingyu criticized this. A Taipei mayor treats the issue of school food safety as an offensive and defensive election campaign. This is the real panic-creating machine.
Zhan Lingyu posted an article on Facebook with the title "The principal apologized, where is the mayor?" and pointed out that Huang Qiqing, the principal of Jinhua Junior High School, sent an open letter with a very gentle title, "Move forward hand in hand, protect each other." In fact, there is only one important sentence in the content: The students ate the nutritious lunch on September 4th, and some of them were really feeling unwell. The school first received a formal notification, and two days later two students informed them. 3 children. The principal apologized and said that all administrative responsibilities rested with him alone.

Zhan Lingyu said that he will eat small rolls on September 4th. The first official notification was on September 9th. Two more on September 11th. At the parent-teacher meeting on September 12, the school said the samples had been lost and there was nothing left to test. On September 23, Councilor Kan Shupei received parents’ petition and spread the word. What then? The Education Bureau issued a press release with the title "Facts have proven that the congressman's revelation was made by mistake."
When Shen Boyang came out to speak, the Education Bureau replied that he "shouldn't have gotten into the car after seeing it roll over." On September 24, Jiang Wanan said, "Any accusation must be justified." On September 26, Jiang Wanan doubled down, saying that Jian Shupei and Shen Boyang were "creating panic and selling fear" and this was "cognitive warfare." Two days later, the principal apologized. So who’s flipping now? Who made an own goal? Whose accusation is unsubstantiated?
Zhan Lingyu said bluntly that what she wanted to ask more was another thing. The school knew about the student notification on September 9, and told parents on September 12 that no samples were kept. It was almost three weeks between September 9th and the open letter. It took five days from the time the congressman broke the news to the apology. In these five days, the Education Bureau issued press releases every day to scold the members, and the mayor talked about cognitive warfare in front of the camera every day. Where is the principal? Is the principal going along with the "no such thing" script, or is he waiting for the pressure from parents to become too great to bear?
Zhan Lingyu emphasized that there is an interesting passage in the principal's letter. He said that "people on campus are prone to additional pressure," and that children should not be subjected to "the pressure of taking a stance," and frontline teachers should not be left to face doubts alone. Who put the pressure on this passage? Parents? Member of Parliament? Or is it the Education Bureau that sets the tone as soon as it opens its mouth and turns students' reports of physical discomfort into a political attack?
Zhan Lingyu pointed out that it is very sad for a junior high school principal to take bullets for those above him by saying, "I personally bear all administrative responsibilities." He admitted that the three children were not feeling well, that the samples had expired and could not be tested, and that the notification and parent notification process needed to be "re-examined from the source." Each item is what Jian Shupei said on September 23.
What did Jiang Wanan say? Disinformation, cognitive warfare, and fear mongering. Zhan Lingyu questioned, and the mayor and principal apologized. Do you also want to say a word to those three children, the parents whose reputations you described as "stigmatized", and the congressmen whom you labeled "cognitive warfare"? Or should we put aside small things like a child having diarrhea when the election is here?
Zhan Lingyu also criticized that a Taipei mayor treats the issue of school food safety as an offensive and defensive campaign. This is the real fear-mongering machine.
