Shen Boyang, a candidate for mayor of Taipei from the Democratic Progressive Party, went to the Gongguan Night Market shopping district yesterday evening (15th) to sweep the streets. There was a huge crowd of supporters at the scene, demonstrating the power of the "ocean current". In this regard, media person Zhan Lingyu said that Taiwan’s elections have been beating family members for decades, and everyone has long been numb. Tonight, a candidate who is surrounded by thousands of people and has a strong momentum takes the initiative to draw this bottom line. This incident itself is worth remembering. It is too early to say whether the ocean current can flow all the way to November. But the people on Tingzhou Road last night and the few words on Tingzhou Road were all written down. Continue to observe and cheer for Shen Boyang.
Zhan Lingyu stated in a Facebook PO post that it was originally just a routine street sweep, and Shen Boyang's team planned to arrive at 7:30. As a result, the crowd started queuing at 3pm. Thousands of "Ocean Currents" filled Tingzhou Road, and the square behind Shuiyuan Market was crowded, stretching for more than 200 meters and spilling over to the other side of the road. Residents poked their heads out to watch the excitement, and children held up boards and shouted, "Mayor Shen Boyang of Taipei." The volunteers themselves said that there were more people than at Shipai Mall last week, and this was the second week. After the stone pavilion is the mansion, and there are more and more of them every week. This is not due to mobilization. The mobilization will not arrive at 3 p.m. This came on its own.

Zhan Lingyu pointed out that the Taipei mayoral election has been said to be "blue is greater than green" and "Shen Boyang has no basic base." But the word "ocean current" is no longer an Internet meme, but a real scene on the street. When crowds start to grow on their own, the electoral algorithm will change. Jiang Wanan's camp saw this and knew it, but what was more worthy of writing last night was actually what Shen Boyang said when the crowd was at its hottest.
Zhan Lingyu continued to point out that a few days ago, "Chinese Taipei" appeared on the big screen outside the Taipei Arena. It turned out to be Chinese fans cheering for the Korean girl group IVE. Netizens then found out that Jiang Wanan's wife Shi Fanggen had said "I'm from Chinese Taipei" at events in the past. What is this in an election campaign? It's a bullet delivered to your door. The opponent's wife, the venue managed by the opponent, and the same controversial word, these three things are stacked together and can explode with just one sentence. What did Shen Boyang say? He said that the main principle of the election campaign is not to discuss family members. What Jiang Wanan's wife said before is her own business. What needs to be focused on is Jiang Wanan and the city government. After all, the Arena is managed by the MRT Company. It would be better if the city government makes the system clear.
Zhan Lingyu analyzed that some people would say this is a strategy. Of course it is a strategy. Every sentence in the election is a strategy. But strategies also come in different styles. Dragging the opponent's family into the battlefield is the most labor-saving method and has the fastest effect. Shen Boyang chose the slower and more difficult path, attacking the municipal government, attacking the system, attacking the parties involved, but not their families. On the same night, he talked about APEC's "Chinese Taipei" with the same logic. He said that the point is not who used this dwarfed name, but who caused us to have to use this name. When being suppressed, you should keep your eyes on the perpetrator, not check each other's slip of the tongue.
Zhan Lingyu said bluntly that Taiwan has been beating up its family members for elections for decades, and everyone has long been numb. Last night, a candidate who was surrounded by thousands of people and was gaining momentum took the initiative to draw this bottom line. This incident itself is worthy of note. It is too early to say whether the current can flow all the way to November. But Zhan Lingyu remembered the people on Tingzhou Road tonight and the few words on Tingzhou Road. Continue to observe and cheer for Shen Boyang.
