The Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang sent greetings to the Kaohsiung folks via video today, and expressed his support for the Democratic Progressive Party's Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Ruilong. He also mentioned that he wanted to eat mutton in Okayama! Lai Ruilong said that Kaohsiung has more than just Goat meat. When both of them are elected mayor, they will take Shen Boyang to eat all over Kaohsiung.

Lai Ruilong said that North Kaohsiung is an amazing place. One out of every eight screws in the world comes from Taiwan. Gangshan, Luzhu, and Yanchao are the keys to making Taiwan visible to the world. Moreover, Taiwan’s richest man is in Luzhu. He started his career in traditional industries and became number one in the world. Not only that, North Kaohsiung’s agriculture and fishery are equally amazing. Not only are they the most famous in Taiwan, but they are also famous in the world!

He called Northern Kaohsiung the "hidden champion" of Taiwan and introduced himself as a "hidden champion" who works seriously and takes one step at a time.

Lai Ruilong mentioned that after the political debate last week, he received encouragement from many friends, thanking him for speaking for Kaohsiung and speaking out for Kaohsiung people. But the person who really wants to say thank you is Lai Ruilong, because he is not standing alone on the stage, and he has hard-working fellow villagers as his backers!

He said that after 10 years of service in the city government and 10 years of hard work in establishing a government, no matter what role he played in the past 20 years, Ruilong has been thinking about the development of Kaohsiung and the expectations of the folks.

He made three guarantees. First, he will continue to work hard with all legislators and congressmen to ensure that Kaohsiung children can have good jobs and good incomes if they stay in Kaohsiung. Second, he will continue to promote the MRT Gangshan Road Bamboo Extension Line, Purple Line, Blue Line, and Green Line, complete the National 1 Gangshan Second Interchange, Qiaotou Science Park Link Road, and Provincial Highway 39 and Provincial Highway 61, making transportation more and more convenient and industrial development getting better and better!

The third plan will increase the elderly care card to 15,000 points a year, increase the maternity subsidy to 50,000 yuan, and provide an additional 1,000 yuan monthly subsidy for children under 6 years old. Of course, we will also do a good job in water control work so that the folks in North Kaohsiung can live happily.

He quoted the words of his first boss, former dean Su Zhenchang, "We don't speak ill and do the right things, so that justice can last long!". Huang Xinjie, a democratic predecessor, said, "In politics, you should be like a buffalo, plowing the fields silently, sweating without shedding tears." He emphasized that doing politics is not about comparing who speaks better, but about who has the ability to solve problems.

There are only 21 days left in the election. He has three things to ask of you. "I love to be determined." Every day before the vote, he will help to get one vote, and each person will get another 20 votes. He also asks everyone to come out and vote on November 28. The mayor will vote for No. 5 Lai Ruilong, and the members will support the Democratic Progressive Party candidate, so that the mayor can take over and the council will have a majority.

He said that although a screw is small, it can hold up the whole world; although Kaohsiung people work silently, as long as we unite, we will be able to work together to create the best future!
