There are only 20 days left before voting in the nine-in-one election. Lin Youchang, who went to the United States, returned to Taiwan from the United States at around 5 o'clock in the morning this morning, and immediately joined the ranks of Tong Ziwei, the auxiliary candidate. Tong Ziwei invited Executive Yuan Vice President Zheng Lijun and former Keelung Mayor Lin Youchang to the Taiwan Railway Qidu Station to view the Keelung 400 special exhibition.
Lin Youchang said that he had just seen the Keelung 400 special exhibition and was really moved. He also saw that a politician (namely Tong Ziwei) was so thoughtful. Lin Youchang recalled that when he first ran for mayor of Keelung, what he heard most was that many of us in Keelung said "impossible" and that Keelung could not change. However, facts have proven that as long as there is a will and an idea, a city that has been at the bottom of the polls for many years can be turned around, and then it will be full of hope and a future.
Lin Youchang said that during his eight years in power in Keelung, he has proven this and allowed the Chinese people to see a reinvention and rebirth in Keelung. Therefore, as long as politicians have a heart, ideas and vision, that is the most important thing, so that they can guide the city to move forward. There are still 20 days left before the voting day. I will try my best to spend time with Tong Ziwei. I also urge the public to support and cast a vote. Lin Youchang promised that if Tong Ziwei is elected mayor of Keelung, he will be very happy and willing to take over as the head of the Keelung Municipal Advisory Group, and will do his best to urge and supervise Tong Ziwei to fulfill his campaign and put forward political opinions.
Tong Ziwei recalled that when Lin Youchang was the second mayor, he had the opportunity to participate in a visiting delegation to the United States. However, he actually visited 8 cities during the 9-day trip, taking cars and planes at all times to learn from various places. Tong Ziwei pointed out that at that time, Mayor Lin shouted the campaign slogan "I love Keelung" to restore the glory of Keelung people and win the final victory! As for his campaign slogan "We are all Keelung people", he hopes that Keelung can continue to progress. Please unite, don't give up on Keelung, don't give up on your hometown, come out and vote, and give him a chance to fulfill his political views and make Keelung a better place.
