Since the "Three Kings Concert" in Zhubei, "Being kind to Zhubei" has become the latest hot topic in the Zhubei mayoral election at the end of the year. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Zeng Shengkai said that the meaning of "treating Zhubei well" he saw from the current mayor Zheng Chaofang's administration is that public investment creates urban memory and social value, and uses activities to drive local consumption, cultural experience, and city branding, accumulating citizens' common glorious memories, and allowing public investment to create "social investment returns." If he is in power, he must continue to go all out.

Zeng Shengkai said that three years ago in Zhubei, the holidays felt "like an empty city." To make citizens willing to leave their holidays to Zhubei, the key is to make this city a life worth staying and experiencing, and this experience gives people from other places another reason to visit Zhubei and get to know Zhubei.

He said that on the night of the concert, Zheng Chaofang asked him to "treat Zhubei well" and he knew how important this was to him and the people of Zhubei. If he has the opportunity to take charge in the future, his first priority in "treating Zhubei well" will be to return the fruits of urban development to the lives of citizens and create more opportunities for small vendors who work hard in Zhubei. Therefore, he will provide a trustworthy and lower-cost participation platform for street vendors through more activities organized by the city government, allowing citizens to access more local food and products, create substantial business opportunities through event crowds, and form a good cycle of mutual support between public activities and local industries.

At the same time, "Be kind to Zhubei" is also a continuation of Zheng Chaofang's governance details. Whether it is giving more applause to the office team and cleaning team partners, or giving more caring care to the elderly and the physically and mentally handicapped at various activities, he will put it at the core of urban governance and practice it.

In addition, he also understands that "treating Zhubei well" represents the continued accumulation of Zhubei's city brand. Let those who come to Zhubei to study or work, whether they are drifting from the north or from the south, fall in love with this city because they like the life in Zhubei.
