The nine-in-one general election is approaching. On the 23rd, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan and candidate for Taichung Mayor Jiang Qichen went to the Huanshan Tribe in Heping District to announce policies for the five major indigenous ethnic groups, emphasizing that the care of the indigenous people should "go out of their hometowns." The elders of the tribe followed the Atayal norms and personally put on Jiang Qichen's traditional jersey, symbolizing the unity and support of his hometown, and wished him an "invincible victory" in the election.
Jiang Qichen and city councilors Gu Xiuying and Wu Zhenjia also arrived at the tribe. Huanshan residents sang the "Election Song" and wished Jiang Qichen a "successful victory" in his candidacy for mayor of Taichung. Jiang Qichen said that there are more than 43,000 aborigines in Taichung City, but only about 10% live in Heping District, and the rest are mostly distributed in Fengyuan, Tanzi, Beitun, Taiping and other administrative districts. Therefore, the aboriginal policy must not be limited to native tribes.
Jiang Qichen officially launched five major policies, including "upgrading vocational training" to strengthen employment competitiveness; regarding Aboriginal health protection, he promised to "increase Aboriginal micro-insurance", with the city government fully covering the micro-insurance for Aboriginal people aged 15 to 64 to provide the most basic protection; and "creating a mobile long-term care vehicle" to integrate medical testing to serve the elderly in tribes.
Jiang Qichen also proposed "rewarding the establishment of Aboriginal strongholds outside the original villages" to provide a space for exhibitions and youth entrepreneurship exchanges; and "building a wisdom database of Aboriginal languages and rituals to inherit culture" so that Aboriginal culture is not only preserved in the database, but passed on through technological means and integrated into the lives of young people.
Jiang Qichen pointed out that in the future, he will stand with all Atayal people, not only to allow everyone to enjoy a "happy and livable" life in Taichung City, but also to work together to see a promising future for this city and the next generation.
