There are only 15 days left before the end of the year county and city head elections. Of the 19 candidates nominated by the Democratic Progressive Party, 4 of them have important commitments and are unable to attend. The remaining 15 people gathered at the campaign headquarters of Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party this morning to hold a joint press conference. They called in unison to "Way Home, for Home, Youth Return, Vote For Home!" and released a video containing the sounds of high-speed rail and trains to remind young people to return home to vote.

County and city head candidates attending the meeting today include: Tong Ziwei of Keelung City, Lin Guozhang of Yilan County, Wen Shizheng of Nantou County, Wang Meihui of Chiayi City, Chen Pin'an of Miaoli County, Zhuang Jingcheng of Hsinchu City, Chen Suyue of Changhua County, Peng Wu Shujin from Lake County, Chen Ying from Taitung County, Huang Shijie from Taoyuan City, He Xinchun from Taichung City, Chen Tingfei from Tainan City, Lai Ruilong from Kaohsiung City, and Shen Boyang from Taipei City; others were unable to attend due to political opinions and other schedules.

Secretary-General Xu Guoyong said that the taste of hometown carries memories. It is a taste that will never be forgotten after leaving home to study and work. He also hopes that his hometown can be better, more progressive, more democratic and free, and work harder to protect human rights. The candidates nominated by the Democratic Progressive Party are professional and dedicated to service. He calls on people to return home to vote on November 28 and work hard to return home, so that Taiwan's democracy will be more consolidated and freely promoted around the world.

Tong Ziwei said that today he brought Keelung’s representative delicacy "Jigula". Many people did not believe that he was 39 years old. Many people in Keelung may have studied and worked hard outside of high school and had deep feelings for "Jigula". If they are not willing to accept the development of Keelung, he called on the villagers to return home and work together.

Lin Guozhang pointed out that when he was studying in Taipei more than 30 years ago, he visited Xikun through two county magistrates. At that time, he also returned to his hometown to vote, so he elected a good county magistrate. Guishan Island is the way home. He hopes that people can come back to see Guishan Island and cast a sacred vote. Today, he brought sesame paste noodles and wonton soup.

Wen Shizheng said that the hometown flavor of Nantou is "kou zai ciao", which is also his father's favorite food. He also shared a story with his father. The year before last, his 83-year-old father fell down while riding a bicycle and sought medical treatment on his own to find intracranial hemorrhage. He was immediately hospitalized for observation, but because there was no hospital bed, he had to stay there for two days. Looking back at the time I received the news, since there was no bus to go home, I spent 1,000 yuan at the hospital to accompany the patient after arriving at the Taichung High Speed ​​Rail Station. Nantou’s medical care, elderly care, and transportation were not good enough, so I decided to give up my career and return to my hometown to work hard and change Nantou.

In Taiwanese and turkey rice, Wang Meihui "calls" to Chiayi citizens who are working hard all over the country to go back to their hometown to vote on November 28, so that the economy and future destiny of their hometown can be changed and become a place where young people want to come back and live. "Just waiting for your vote! Remember to come back!"

Chen Pin'an used Hakka language and Hakka rice cakes to urge Miaoli County residents to go home and vote. She said that many young people made small gifts to represent Miaoli. She hoped that Miaoli people in Taipei could go back to their hometowns to vote and use their votes to express their life in Miaoli and their imagination for the future.

Zhuang Jingcheng brought rice noodles and gongwan soup and said, "No. 3 Zhuang Jingcheng and Sansheng are lucky enough to fight for the opportunity to serve the people!" The election is very hard, but he will fight for victory with the spirit of a foolish old man who can move mountains. The current polls show that he is evenly matched with his opponents. He and everyone promise to "three alliances, three gongwans and fight to the end!" The mayor of Hsinchu is the only supporter, "change now, go home and vote and we will win!"

Chen Suyue said that Changhua County is the largest county outside the six capitals. It has a serious population emigration, the average labor salary is the lowest in the country, and a quarter of the population is over 65 years old. She proposed political ideas such as youth business loans and shopping loan interest subsidies to give young people the opportunity to stay and work for the economy. She also called on young people to return to their hometowns to vote with the nationally famous hometown meatballs.

Wu Shujin pointed out that young people in Penghu carry the spirit of "water" with them when they go out and shine in all walks of life. Today, they bring the hometown flavor of stewed octopus and stewed meat. No matter where you go, you smell this smell, just like the sea breeze, sunshine and hometown of Penghu. She calls on the county residents to return to their hometowns to vote to change Penghu and write the history of the first female county magistrate.

Chen Ying first sang a song "Naruwan 7-11" improvised by female singer A-Lin and asked if the tickets had been bought. She humorously said that instead of eating pineapple and sugar apple popsicles today, she would eat hot rice noodles. It has a good texture, is sprinkled with bouncing bonito flakes, and is very delicious with the minced meat soup. "Be sure to add black vinegar!" When she was a child, her parents said, "I will take you to eat rice noodles." This time I bought a ticket and went home to "take my parents to eat with me." If she doesn't want the "King of Taitung" to appear in Taitung like Hualien, she must come back to vote.
