"Go back and ask Dahu to come out to vote for you! It's not sincere to just send an assistant out!" Pingtung citizen representative Fu Jianxiong, who is running for a third term, has lost 33 kilograms in more than five months, and his weight has dropped from 126 kilograms to 92.6 kilograms. He has lost more than a quarter of himself. Many voters can't recognize him when he goes out to vote in person. They mistakenly think that he hired an assistant to sweep the streets to canvass for votes. He couldn't help but shout, "It's really me, Nobita!"

Fu Jianxiong is 42 years old. He was elected as a citizen representative of Pingtung in 2018. He has been re-elected since. In the past, because of his love for food, he drank many sugary hand drinks every day. His weight has increased sharply. When he is re-elected in 2022, it has reached 123 kilograms. At 175 centimeters, he is the heaviest this year. He weighed 126 kilograms, and often comforted himself by saying, "I am the most flexible fat man." It was not until he received a health checkup in May that his glycosylated hemoglobin reached 8.4. The doctor told him, "Your whole body is almost soaked in sugar." He realized that he could not go on like this and decided to lose weight.

He controlled his diet and supplemented with nutritional supplements. He gave up sugary drinks that he used to drink as water, and also avoided starch. He also paid attention to protein intake, ate a lot of vegetables, and did not eat processed meat. He mainly focused on original food, controlled calories, and lost 6 kilograms per month. To lose weight, the weight on the 12th of this month was 92.6 kilograms; Fu Jianxiong said that in the past, he had to wear clothes up to 5XL, but now he can wear XL.

Because of his success in losing weight, he had to constantly clarify that he was the real "Nobita" during the vote-seeking process. Fu Jianxiong said with a smile that voters' first reaction was to ask, "Why did you lose so much weight? Don't lose weight anymore!" Some people also stared at him when they received the propaganda printed with previous photos and asked, "This is you. I even met people I knew well from the past who said, "You want to ask Nobita to come out and run away, why didn't he come out in the election?" He would try hard to explain, "It's really me!" There were also mothers-in-law who asked him to share his experience and methods of losing weight, and the interactions with voters became more interesting.

Fu Jianxiong is a new generation of the Kuomintang. There are 9 people running for the Pingtung East District citizen representative this time, fighting for 5 seats. Because of his good eloquence, he often serves as a microphone player, hosting intra-party activities and activities of candidates from the same party. How to maintain his voice? He laughed and said, "I just eat spicy hotpot" because it is a small blessing in his life. No matter how busy or tired he is, he still eats it even when he is losing weight.

Open Questions

  • Will Fu Jianxiong finally achieve his ideal weight goal of losing another 15 kilograms?
  • What is the final result of this Pingtung East District citizen representative election?

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan canceled his public schedule two days before the debate due to illness. He performed smoothly and strongly after taking office. However, a TVBS poll showed that 47% of the respondents believed that Shen Boyang performed better, and 40% chose Chiang Wanan. If the vote is held tomorrow, Chiang Wanan will lead Shen Boyang with 46% and 42%, and the gap has shrunk to four percentage points from eight percentage points in early October. Taking the Baolin Teahouse food poisoning case as an example, the author questioned Jiang Wanan's negligence in not responding directly, emphasizing that only political performance figures cannot cover up unanswered questions.

Citing the experience of Frankfurt, Germany, and the survey on the current situation of sports in Taiwan, the author advocates that needs should be estimated based on residents’ sports behavior, campus opening and multi-purpose use should be integrated, and sports should be given spatial functional positioning in urban parks, roads and campuses.
