DPP Hsinchu mayor candidate Zhuang Jingcheng and North District city councilor candidate Zeng Guowei held a large-scale campaign in Nanliao yesterday (7th), with more than 1,500 supporters pouring in. Legislator Ke Jianming, Acting Chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council Li Yanhui, Deputy Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan Nguyen Zhao-hsiung, Deputy Secretary-General of the Democratic Progressive Party He Bowen, Legislator Chen Peiyu, New Taipei City Councilor Li Yuxiang, and political celebrity Wang Jiemin, etc., all came to the scene to preach, calling on citizens that the development of Hsinchu City can no longer wait, and that Hsinchu must be built from generation to generation, and that Zhuang Jingcheng and Zeng Guowei, who are good at doing things and willing to work hard, should enter the city government and parliament to serve citizens and promote construction.
Li Yanhui said that she had served as a city councilor in the North District for five terms in the past and had always had deep feelings for the North District and Nanliao. Although Zeng Guowei is a newcomer running for the election for the first time, he is also a native of Nanliao and knows the place best. He does not have the advantage of being an incumbent, nor does he have an existing political background. He needs fellow villagers to give newcomers a chance. Calling on Nanliao folks to unite, Zeng Guowei had the opportunity to bring the voices of Nanliao and North District to the city council. She even cheered the scene by saying that as long as Zeng Guowei is elected, "Hsinchu will hit a home run!"
Zhuang Jingcheng also talked about the policy direction of Nanliao construction, MRT transportation and the welfare of the elderly. He said that in the future, Hsinchu MRT planning should incorporate Nanliao into the overall road network to improve local transportation, and aim to start construction within four years. The elderly care card proposed the direction of 1,200 points per month. He hopes that in the future, the points can be accumulated across months and used within one year, and at the same time expand the use of channels. Zhuang Jingcheng emphasized that the future development of Nanliao should not only focus on tourism, but should simultaneously improve transportation, industry, economy and living environment, gradually improve local living functions, and make Nanliao a more suitable place for long-term living.
Zeng Guowei said that he grew up in Nanliao and served as a volunteer for five years. After he retired from the army, he worked in markets and construction sites. After he got married, he became the father of three children and accompanied his eldest daughter through brain tumor treatment, early treatment and special education. These experiences have made him pay more attention to issues such as parent-child care, special education, school safety, road traffic and elderly care. I sincerely ask the villagers to support him and let him enter the parliament to fight for the welfare of Nanliao people.
