AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The Hsinchu County Magistrate election has entered a fever pitch, with Democratic Progressive Party candidate Zheng Chaofang actively sweeping the streets to solicit votes. Shangguan Qiuyan was originally a candidate for parliament in the Wufeng constituency of Zhudong of the Kuomintang. Because her family had been assisted by Zheng Chaofang, she attended the founding meeting of Zheng Chaofang's competition. She also delivered a speech on the same stage as Zhudong mayor Guo Yuanzhang, who was not a party member, when the competition was established. The Kuomintang Hsinchu County Party Headquarters recently held a meeting and decided to request the Party Central Committee to revoke Shangguan Qiuyan’s 43-year party membership. When interviewed, Shangguan Qiuyan said “it doesn’t matter” because she believes she has a clear conscience.

The election campaign is heating up! The Democratic Progressive Party's Hsinchu County Mayor candidate Zheng Chaofang went to Zhudong Market this morning (8th) to canvass the streets for votes. Accompanied by Zhudong Mayor Guo Yuanzhang and others who are seeking re-election, they happened to meet Hsinchu County Councilor Shangguan Qiuyan, who was recently recommended by the Kuomintang Hsinchu County Party Headquarters to the Party Central Committee to revoke his 43-year party membership. Shangguan Qiuyan held Zheng Chaofang's hand tightly and shouted emotionally to the villagers, "Support Zheng Chaofang, Zhudong will be better!" Zheng Chaofang warmly hugged and expressed his gratitude. There were constant sounds of "frozen garlic" and the atmosphere was warm.

Zheng Chaofang "returned to his parents' home" to sweep the streets in Zhudong market today. Upon seeing this, Shangguan Qiuyan generously took the microphone on the spot and enthusiastically shouted to the Zhudong villagers, fully supporting Zheng Chaofang in leading Hsinchu County and Zhudong Town, bringing better construction and progress to the local area, and shouted the slogan "Support Zheng Chaofang, Zhudong will be better."

Zheng Chaofang praised Shangguan Qiuyan as a chivalrous lady and the bravest partner of Zhudong Justice, and invited the villagers to give her the warmest applause. In response to Shangguan's enthusiastic support, Zheng invited the villagers to respond with warm applause and give her a loving hug in person.

In response to this, Shangguan Qiuyan said in an interview that at the last moment of the election campaign, she had originally arranged to sweep the streets in Zhudong Market, which is a crowded place on Sundays. Unexpectedly, she happened to run into the "future county magistrate" Zheng Chaofang who was sweeping the streets. She bluntly said that everyone’s hopes and expectations are pinned on Zheng Chaofang. If Zhudong wants to make progress, it absolutely needs a good county magistrate, a good county magistrate who is truly willing to do things and work hard for the construction of Zhudong.

Shangguan Qiuyan also praised Guo Yuanzhang as a "very honest person" with great ideas. Everyone worked together to upgrade Zhudong to a city.

Zheng Chaofang showed great popularity in the market. He shook hands with the vendors and buyers one by one along the way and thanked the folks for their warm support along the way. Zheng Chaofang called on everyone to continue to give the warmest support, work hard together, and work together to make Zhudong and Hsinchu County better.

Shangguan Qiuyan, the candidate for Zhudong Wufeng constituency who was nominated by the Kuomintang, attended the founding meeting of the Democratic Progressive Party county magistrate candidate Zheng Chaofang's general election because her family had received assistance from Zheng Chaofang. When she established the general election, Guo Yuanzhang, the non-party mayor of Zhudong who was seeking re-election, gave a speech on the stage. The Kuomintang Hsinchu County Party Headquarters recently held a meeting and decided to request the Party Central Committee to revoke her party membership. Regarding this, Shangguan Qiuyan once said in an interview that "it doesn't matter" because she has a clear conscience.
