The nine-in-one general election is approaching, and the Taipei mayoral race continues to heat up. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, who is seeking re-election, went to the Liaoning Night Market in Zhongshan District last night to sweep the streets to pray for votes. Legislator Wang Hongwei, North City Council Deputy Speaker Ye Linchuan and others also accompanied him. However, when a group of people passed by a dumpling shop in Youtai Village that had previously been publicly known as green, a large number of people surrounded the door of the shop, shouting loudly many times, and were photographed by passers-by, who questioned whether the mobilization and behavior were like a "gangster siege." The owner of the founding store of "Yu Yi Cun" also spoke out later on, saying that an incident of someone tearing up promotional materials in the store just happened recently, and it is difficult not to think about it.

The "Yuyi Village" dumpling shop located in the Liaoning Night Market has always had a clear stance. In addition to using LED marquees to support the "big success of the recall" in the past, it also hung "Ocean Current" flags and campaign posters at the entrance of the store. Unexpectedly, on Wednesday, it was reported that some people tore down the "Puma propaganda" in the store. At that time, "Yuyi Village" The head of the founding store also posted a video of the monitor and said bluntly, "I'm not angry, I'm just a little shocked. He comes at least two or three times a week. I've been posting my promotional materials for so long. Why did it happen today? I'm also shocked that he would be like this." After the post was exposed, many netizens expressed support.

Unexpectedly, only two days later, when Jiang Wanan went to Liaoning night market to sweep the streets, he first performed a "90-degree turn" in front of the "Yuyi Village" store, turned to the mayor to greet the supporters, and let the TV station camera insinuate "turn suddenly like Baishatun (circuit)", and then Jiang Wanan and his party Before people returned to the dumpling shop, a large number of supporters also surrounded "Yu Yi Cun". When Jiang Wanan stepped into the store and quickly greeted the staff, the blue camp supporters who surrounded "Yu Yi Cun" kept shouting "Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan" towards the store, which made the witnesses look at him.

Although some media reported this report as "bravely entered the "Ocean Current" dumpling shop, and was cheered and affirmed by supporters" and "the proprietress shook hands enthusiastically, and supporters were excited", but many netizens can be seen on the social media reposting videos questioning "The king of plagiarism led the crowd in front of the Ocean Current store on Liaoning Street, shouting Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan very loudly, and there was an older man inside Boss lady (so pitiful), you are really worthless for leading a crowd to an expedition." "You are simply taking the lead in bullying." "You have deliberately bullied the Yangliu store for so long. Can you restrain it? The store is also your citizen!", "Everyone, come and watch~~Jiang Wanan demonstrates what it means to lead a crowd to an expedition." Questioning the behavior of surrounding the store is like a gangster siege.

Some netizens who claimed to be in the store at the time left a message saying, "I was dining in the store. They shouted for a long time, and the leader asked the supporters to say, 'Louder!'. Now I found out that it was Wang Hongwei. The atmosphere was tense and scary. I was very disgusted and did not support Jiang Wanan."

According to the 28-second video posted by media person Wu Jingyi on the social media and captured from the live TV broadcast, during the short period when Jiang Wanan quickly walked into the store and walked out, supporters of the Blue Camp shouted "Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan" at least 8 times in the store. Wu Jingyi also ridiculed "Chiang Wanan is super rational, especially Don't take the lead and walk into the "Youyicun Dumplings" store of "Yangliu". There is a lot of cheers for the store. You support Yangliu so enthusiastically, so you don't bother the customers at all? Jiang Wanan, it turns out that this is rational and not provocative! Grandma Wang, the Legislator, is really not going out to bully me when she yells like this!

The founder of "Yuyi Village" later revealed, "I went to the Night of Fear tonight. When the event was about to end, I received a message from Cuiyou that gave me goosebumps. I was in a state of panic. Apart from the foreign employees in the store, the only ones were my mother and a small boss who was studying in junior high school. I was really afraid that they would rush in."

The leader also pointed out that "Legislator Xu Da (Xu Qiaoxin) said he was just seeking support, and the word "encirclement" is too heavy-handed. Because Legislator Wang shouted louder with the microphone, asking their supporters to use their volume to tell us that the current mayor is Jiang Wanan, I felt the pursuit mentioned by Legislator Xu. There is no doubt who the current mayor is. It is also a fact that the current mayor stepped into the door of the store, and the supporting crowd outside cheered. What this atmosphere means is left to everyone to feel."

The leader also mentioned, "I don't know if the spontaneous temporary rally by supporters that happened on Friday night is related to the incident of tearing up the other party's propaganda in the store on Wednesday night, but it happened on Wednesday night, with news interviews on Thursday, and the rally came on Friday. It's hard not to associate it."

The owner also revealed, "The founding store of Dayi Village will be closed on Saturday. Everyone should stay calm and support our relatives and friends. We have received your thoughts. There will always be a time when we meet again. We will always meet in a beautiful life. Maybe we can meet in Dahu Park. The owner loves you."
