You Xikun recently published an article commenting on the life experience of a candidate for mayor of Taipei, triggering controversy about the electoral style. Jiang Wanan's campaign accused the Democratic Progressive Party of long-term use of life experience as a target of attack.
Former Legislative Yuan You Xikun recently posted an article saying that "one is an adopted daughter and the other is an adopted grandpa. Both of the two candidates for mayor of Taipei are very caring!" He was questioned for making a fuss about the life experiences of Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and Democratic Progressive Party candidate for Taipei mayor Shen Boyang. Jiang Wanan’s campaign office criticized that the DPP has continuously used Jiang Wanan’s life experience as a target of ridicule since entering politics, and that You Xikun’s remarks are just a reappearance of negative campaign tactics, and asked Shen Boyang to make it clear whether he agrees with such an electoral style.
Jiang Wanan's bid spokesman Yang Peixi pointed out that everyone from President Lai Qingde to Shen Boyang had expressed their opposition to making a fuss about Jiang Wanan's life experience. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, senior members of the party would make relevant remarks again. She questioned whether the DPP, on the one hand, claimed to oppose attacks on family background, but on the other hand, some members of the party made relevant remarks. This once again demonstrated the double standard of "saying one thing and doing another".
Yang Pei-hsien further gave an example. Green camp people had previously called for a "civet cat for a prince" to be staged in Taipei. The relevant statement first sparked discussion on social platforms before someone stepped forward to stop it. In the past, media personality Zhou Yukou also hyped the issue of Chiang Wanan's background and DNA. Although Shen Boyang said that his background should not be used to make a fuss, he and Zhou Yukou were interviewed on the same stage. Now that You Xikun has once again caused controversy by speaking out about his life experience, she believes that Shen Boyang should clearly state his position.
Yang Peiyu said that Shen Boyang's camp has repeatedly emphasized its insistence on a positive election campaign, but it has faced ridiculing remarks involving his life experience. The outside world has reason to examine whether its position is consistent. She also called Shen Boyang, did she agree with You Xikun's statement? Is this also the electoral style recognized by Shen’s camp? She emphasized that Taipei citizens have their own judgment, and candidates should use policies and municipal visions to win support instead of letting the election campaign get bogged down in personal offense and defense.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party held a municipal lecture at the Dalongdong Baoan Palace and proposed the "Taipei Ocean Current" plan to plan five major policies to create a livable city in response to the problems of garbage, old houses, business districts and aging in Zhongshan and Datong districts.

Kuomintang legislator Li Yanxiu said that if Shen Boyang was elected mayor, social workers would distribute drugs in the community, triggering a public backlash. Netizens later discovered that her husband, Hou Guanqun, had publicly advocated legalizing marijuana 20 years ago, criticizing Li Yanxiu for double standards and spreading rumors.
