Taitung "East!" The "Take Me Away" concert was held yesterday and tonight. Not only the singer Power Train, but also Luo Shifeng imitated Jay Chou and sang "Nunchaku" and the atmosphere was high. The blue and green county mayor candidates also had different political views on music issues, and the confrontation was also very heated. However, just like the previous press release, the blue camp stuck to the green camp and said that what is needed now is not election checks, but "music policies that can be achieved and affordable." However, they did not express any plans to resist.
Green Camp Taitung County Mayor candidate Chen Ying advocates that the county government should take the lead in building an "original music base" and provide more support for Taitung's musicians and original music to flourish. After closely exchanging views with the Executive Yuan, Taitung can refer to the "Taipei Pop Music Center" and "Kaohsiung Pop Music Center" models, with the central and local governments cooperating to build a Taitung version of "music venues and talent bases," and then the county government establishing an administrative legal person to operate it.

Chen said that from songwriting, arranging, recording, mixing to distribution, it provides the facilities, equipment and resource support needed for talents in the music industry. At the same time, marketing resources will also be integrated and original competitions will be held to give teenagers, youth and amateur creators, singers or bands more opportunities to be seen and supported.
Since Chen Ying is a music student herself, she said that after receiving a master's degree in music performance in the United States, she firmly believes that "the best music is the music that grows from the soil." Kuomintang candidate Wu Xiuhua said that Chen Ying's "direction deserves recognition"; however, as the county magistrate candidate proposes major construction, he has a greater responsibility to explain to the villagers where the funds will come from, where the base will be built, how it will operate in the future, and how many resources can be directly invested in Taitung's music workers.
Wu Xiuhua pointed out that Chen Ying proposed to refer to the Taipei Pop Music Center and Kaohsiung Pop Music Center models, advocating that the central and local governments cooperate in construction and then establish an administrative legal person for operation. However, Taitung's population size, transportation conditions, performance market, and local financial capabilities are all different from those of Taipei and Kaohsiung. "Others' models can be used as a reference, but they cannot be copied in full. What Taitung needs is the answer that is most suitable for Taitung, not a beautiful-looking building during the election."
Wu Xiuhua said that if Chen Ying has "closely exchanged views with the Executive Yuan," she should further explain to Taitung folks: Has the central government made any specific commitments? How much funding is expected to be invested? How much matching payment does the local government need to bear? Where is the base planned to be located? After construction is completed, what will be the annual operating costs? How to plan the financial resources and manpower scale for establishing an administrative legal person?
Wu Xiuhua emphasized, "What I want to do is to give creators a stage, young people have opportunities, and culture can be passed on. Taitung's future does not need to copy Taipei or Kaohsiung, but to find its own way."
