The shocking opening attracts attention. He then visited Chiang Ka-huang's service office and went to his grandpa's bazaar. Childish words said that this was his usual place to urinate. At the same time, in the video, he listed Chiang Ka-huang's political achievements in fighting for fire trucks and ambulances for the local area.

Sun Tzu also said in the film, "If the video gets 1,000 likes, my grandpa will give me a limited edition robot as a reward."

The promotional video quickly circulated on the Internet after it was released. It received more than 32,000 likes in one day, attracting a large number of netizens to leave messages and forward it.

Polls show that the difference in support between Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan is only 1.2%. The Blue Camp questions the credibility of the data.

A poll by the Trustees Association showed that the difference in support between Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and current mayor Chiang Wanan is only 1.2 percentage points. KMT Taipei City Councilor Yang Zhidou questioned the relationship between the polling unit and UMC founder Tsao Hsing-cheng before the poll was released. The blue camp tried to use the "general recall" label to influence voters' perceptions. The fan blog "Voice and Politics" pointed out that this move reflects the anxiety of the blue camp, and companies regard the closer election campaign as a real change, but in fact they are competing for the power to interpret the current election situation.
