民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋掀起的「洋流」,已經從台北街頭一路吹到高雄。9月19日,他與民進黨高雄市長參選人賴瑞隆在高雄合體,警方估計約3萬人湧入英雄路、光榮碼頭周邊,數百公尺路程竟走了半小時,人潮甚至一度出現推擠。這股聲勢不能只被解讀成一場選舉造勢,它至少證明,台灣社會仍有一股強烈的政治能量正在聚集。

一場3萬人的活動不能直接等同選票,更不能預告選舉結果,但民主政治本來就需要這種碰撞。有人支持親中交流,就有人要求提高警覺;有人相信靠近中國可以降低風險,也有人認為過度依賴才是最大的風險。這場辯論越激烈,人民越有機會看清楚各政黨真正要把台灣帶向哪裡。

請繼續往下閱讀...

所以,洋流值得被看見。它不是誰的私有財產,而是選民用腳走出來的政治訊號。若藍白仍把親中路線當成理所當然,台灣人民也完全可以用民主選票與公共參與,給出自己的反應。風向會變,洋流也會變;真正不能改變的,是台灣人決定自己未來的權利。

This is a direct response to Fu Kunqi, the chief convenor of the Kuomintang League, who advocated a policy of universal cash distribution of 20,000 yuan per person. He also revealed that he has not yet received his September salary.

Jiang Wanan attended the Fude Palace dinner and received a gift of sugar cane but did not take it away. Shen Boyang emphasized that he should cherish the sugar cane and put it in his office

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan attended the Zhongzhuang Tsai Fudong Palace's Christmas dinner and received a large number of sugar canes from Chairman Lin Chunyu, wishing him success in becoming president. However, he did not take away the sugar canes afterwards and called to apologize. Shen Boyang, a candidate for mayor of Taipei from the Democratic Progressive Party, also received a gift of sugar cane, but kept it in his office like a precious sword. TVBS host Xie Yaozhou criticized Jiang Wanan for his outrageous negligence. Netizens questioned that he only came to participate in the event before the election. Xie Yaozhou responded that the other party carefully selected the sugar cane. After Taipei City Councilor Lin Liangjun asked for confirmation, Lin Chunyu said that it is not a good custom not to take away gifts. Shen Boyang's sugar cane will be enshrined in the soon-to-be-established competition office.
