It has been one year since the flood was restored. To thank the 500,000 Shovel Superman, Speaker Zhang Jun, whose hometown was restored, held the Liberation Thanksgiving Life Festival today. Executive Yuan Political Affairs Councilor Ji Liancheng also attended and accepted Zhang Jun’s letter of appointment as Hualien’s general consultant for resilience and disaster prevention! Ji Liancheng also bluntly stated, "In the future, Zhang Jun will serve as the county magistrate of Hualien, and he will still serve as the general advisor of disaster prevention!"
Hualien Speaker Zhang Jun, who is not a party member, is running for Hualien County Magistrate at the end of the year. His opponents are You Shuzhen, the "successor of Fu Kunqi" recruited by the Kuomintang, and independent lawmaker Wei Jiaxian. Zhang Jun, who holds high the banner of anti-Fu Kunqi, said that he recently met with Pegatron Chairman Tong Zixian and decided to unite experts from various fields across the country to establish the "Hualien Reform Governance Alliance." He served as the initiator and asked Tong Zixian to assist in consulting various experts. Hualien has been under the governance of Fu Kunqi and his wife for more than 20 years. Last year, disaster prevention and relief was incompetent. "Hualien's time to change has come."
On the occasion of the Liberation Thanksgiving Life Festival, Zhang Jun was awarded the appointment letter of General Consultant of Disaster Prevention and Resilience of Hua Reform Alliance to Zhang Jun. "When the Speaker asked me to serve as the general advisor on disaster prevention, I gladly accepted it!" Ji Liancheng said that after last year's disaster, he and the Speaker spent a long time in Guangfu Township, serving the victims and Shovel Superman. He also told the Speaker that he is not only serving as the alliance's general advisor for disaster prevention. "In the future, when you serve as the mayor of Hualien County, I will still be the general advisor for disaster prevention of Hualien County, and it is an unpaid position because I do not want a salary." Therefore, he will continue to serve Hualien and the Guangfu folks in this life.
Ji Liancheng said that before he went to Guangfu to provide disaster relief last year, the superior said, "It will take at least 3 months before you go to Guangfu to provide disaster relief." However, when he came to the disaster area and saw the dedicated efforts of the Shovel Superman and the helpless eyes of the victims, he felt that the government must be more efficient and determined to allow the victims to return to normal life within 20 days. Last year, he spent 24 days before and after Guangfu's disaster relief. He said to the victims and the supermen present, "I did it!"
He said that after leaving Guangfu, the barrier lake in Matai'an River was dug out and disappeared. Now there is no barrier lake and the river has returned to its normal course. Although there are still 260 million cubic meters of earth and rocks in the river, he assured that 25 million cubic meters of earth and rocks have been removed due to the government's continuous dredging. Even if there is heavy rain in the future, there will be no more disasters. He hopes that Guangfu will continue to move forward under the premise of safety.
Ji Liancheng believes that Hualien has beautiful mountains and rivers, but there are also many threats from typhoons and earthquakes. He hopes that the future Hualien County Magistrate must be a good magistrate who can provide disaster relief, prevent disasters, and make progress for the people and tourism.
