Jiang Wanan posted a Facebook post in the evening emphasizing that "there is no room for ambiguity in the fight against drugs." However, many netizens flooded in with angry comments, and it was even suspected of deleting the message, making the public even more dissatisfied. Jiang Wanan’s campaign office stated that funds are burning and it is really hard work.

Chiang Wanan's campaign office stated that Chiang Wanan's article hit the nail on the head and went straight to the point, clearly opposing the distribution of drugs and needles in community centers.

Jiang Wanan competed for approval, and Shen Boyang could not face his past opinions, so the message area became busy late at night. Maybe you're really in a hurry? As of 11 o'clock in the evening, more than 100,000 comments had poured in in just two hours after the post was posted. The funds are burning. It is really hard work.
