Democratic Progressive Party candidate for Hsinchu mayor Zhuang Jingcheng invited Foreign Minister Lin Jialong to Hsinchu for the second time tonight to join forces with the "Cheng Feng Motors Team" to sweep the streets. Lin Jialong affirmed Zhuang Jingcheng's idea of ​​the "Future City Education Fund" and hoped to combine the resources of bamboo enterprises and the city government to invest in teacher training and improve the teaching environment in the long term, so that the development results of the science and technology industry can be fed back to local education. Lin Jialong also revealed that he was not only Zhuang Jingcheng’s witness to his marriage, but also served as the chairman of Zhuang Jingcheng’s campaign headquarters when he ran for the Legislative Council in 2019.

Zhuang Jingcheng said that parents in Hsinchu City are very concerned about their children's education, especially in the Guanpu area, which faces difficulties such as insufficient school classes and inconvenient access to school. Therefore, he proposed policies such as +1 primary and secondary schools in Guanpu, adding classes first and then planning independent complete middle schools, and setting up special buses to go to school, hoping to improve the school environment for children and reduce the burden on parents to pick up and drop off.

Zhuang Jingcheng pointed out that the Hsinchu Science Park has driven industrial development and attracted many young families to settle down in Hsinchu, and educational resources should keep up with the development of the city. He proposed the "Future City Education Fund", hoping to invite bamboo companies to invest together with the city government to support the professional growth of teachers, improve the teaching environment, provide long-term and stable resources for Hsinchu education, and cultivate more talents for the future development of the industry.

Lin Jialong said that investing in talents is investing in the future. The international recognition of Taiwan's semiconductor industry is the result of long-term emphasis on education and talent cultivation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently promoting international exchange programs such as the Ten Billion Overseas Dream Plan for Youth, International Youth Ambassadors and Diplomatic Elites. He also supports the education fund concept proposed by Zhuang Jingcheng, through cooperation between enterprises and the government, allowing international talents to enter Hsinchu and Hsinchu talents to the world.

Lin Jialong also said that he has known Zhuang Jingcheng for many years. Zhuang Jingcheng is a professor at Yangming Jiaotong University. In the past, he served as a legislator and the executive director of the Central Executive Yuan Joint Service Center. He has academic, legislative and administrative experience and can become a bridge between the central and local governments. Therefore, he came to Hsinchu again to recommend Zhuang Jingcheng to the folks.

In response to the recent launch of the "Double No. 3" joint signboard with Shen Boyang, Zhuang Jingcheng said that both of them have served as professors and legislators, and are now running for mayor. Coincidentally, their wives are both named "Xinhui", and they both won the No. 3. He hopes that through the combination of "Ocean Current" and "Cheng Feng", he can drive positive policy discussions and return the election to the selection of talents and abilities.

Zhuang Jingcheng emphasized that he will continue to visit various industries in the future to deeply understand the needs of citizens in different fields, so as to make Hsinchu a "happy! Happy! Happy!" livable city. Zhuang Jingcheng finally said that the current election situation has reached the fifth wave. He thanked Minister Lin Jialong for coming to Hsinchu again to cheer him up. There are only 20 days left before the voting on November 28. He will continue to go deep into the grassroots and win the support of citizens. He also calls on all supporters to go out and vote. If you come out to vote, you will win!
