Concubine Chen Ting returns to Annan, her natal district, to urge votes and recalls the kindness of Haiwei’s beginnings

Tainan mayoral candidate Chen Tingfei of the Democratic Progressive Party rode into Annan District today (11th) and launched the "Iron Horse Concubine Rise Up, People Be Supported" vote-collecting operation in the 37 districts. She returned to Haiwei, an important place where she started when she first ran for the Legislative Council in 2008. She received sentimental memories of being supported by Annan villagers along the way. She also received a handwritten note from children, hoping that she would be elected mayor and personally present the Mayor's Award in the future, adding a warm episode to the vote-collecting trip.

Concubine Chen Ting, together with District 6 Democratic Progressive Party City Council Candidates Tang Yijing and Guo Pinchen, went to Haiwei Chao Palace to pay homage and pray for blessings. Former Speaker Guo Xinliang and Independent Councilor Candidate Lin Wei also came to support, showing solidarity with local folks and a convoy of horses.

Chen Tingfei said that when she ran for the Legislative Council for the first time in 2008, she chose to set up the first campaign support club in Section 1 of Haiwei and Haidian Road. Without the support of the folks in Annan District, it would have been difficult to overcome the electoral challenge. This time when she ran for mayor, many folks saw her and said, "We have been waiting for a long time, and we can help you fight for the mayor together!" She was very touched.

When it comes to local construction, she pointed out that Annan District has long faced flooding problems in the past, including Haiwei Liao, Ben Yuan Liao, 12 Tenants and the Anzhong River area. During her tenure as a legislator, she actively fought for water pumping stations and surrounding drainage system improvement projects, and continued to fight for road improvements, school equipment and other construction resources. Annan District is already the second most populous administrative district in Tainan. As the population grows, transportation, education, drainage and living environment needs have become more diverse.

During the event, Chen Tingfei shared a note handwritten by a child: "Sister Feifei, I hope you can be elected mayor. I will study hard and get the mayor's award. You should give it to me!" She said that the child's innocent blessing made her feel the responsibility on her shoulders and also gave her the strength to continue working hard for Tainan.

Chen Tingfei called on supporters to seize the final stage of the election campaign, continue canvassing, urging votes, and checking votes, and reminded relatives and friends to go out and vote on November 28, so that she could be elected to the city government and become the first female mayor of Tainan in 400 years.
