Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yan is about to step down from her eight-year term. World Magazine recently released a policy satisfaction survey, in which Lu Hsiu-yan’s ranking dropped to the second-lowest in the country. Lu Hsiu-yan was questioned by a council member today as being beaten with a stick. Lu Hsiao-yan mocked herself as a swallow and a bird, and was a “swallow beaten with a stick.” Regarding the outside world's concern about her movements after leaving office, she emphasized that now it is about unity and cooperation, with the "big self" as the direction, and "role arrangement" is a group discussion, "not a bloody fight for one position."

Lu Xiuyan reiterated that she respects the results of various polls, but emphasized that political offense and defense should not be manipulated too much. She has been manipulated many times when she was elected mayor in the past, and she won resoundingly in the end. She also excused Jiang Wanan, believing that Jiang Wanan is a rising star, but he also faces fire. This is also the training that politicians must receive. She believes in democracy and must show style, magnanimity and respect.

Assemblymember Liu Shizhou’s parliamentary inquiry pointed out that Lu Xiuyan is the favorite candidate for president in 2028. The second lowest in the policy satisfaction survey is the first to win. Lu Xiuyan said that she was also said to lose greatly when she was elected mayor of Taichung for the first time. In the end, she won 200,000, and she won even more the second time. She believes that this type of poll is a political offense and defense and should not be overdone. She believes in the wisdom of the citizens.

Lu Xiuyan also said that many people are concerned about her future, but now it is about uniting and cooperating with the greater self as the direction. Role arrangement is a group discussion, not a bloody fight for one position. She emphasized that she is the most senior mayor of the six cities and is about to step down. She hopes that Taichung will continue to be well and that we can all be well. She has been talking about national affairs and municipal affairs recently, and she wants Taichung to be well and everyone to be well.
