Shen Boyang returned to Fenfenpu business district to sweep the streets at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went to Songshan to pay homage to Jin'an Temple. At around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, many mothers-in-law were waiting at the scene. Many people shouted, "Our mayor ~ Shen Boyang, frozen garlic!" There was a long queue of people waiting to get signatures; some people complained that there were so many people that they couldn't see Shen Boyang himself, "Don't you all have to go to work?"

Shen Boyang's relatives and elders also came to support yesterday. Even Shen Boyang's grandma, a new resident of Vietnam, showed up with a poster of Ocean Current. When interviewed, her grandmother said that even if she was busy during the election campaign, Shen Boyang would always take the time to call her and bring her gifts. She was "very good and filial" and looked full of pride. Shen Boyang's cousin also shared that Shen went abroad when he was very young, and we only met him at dinner parties when he was growing up. "His experience, knowledge, and eloquence made him willing to run for the mayor of Taipei. His elders were very encouraging."

Shen Boyang returned to his childhood home yesterday. He said that this was the second time he came back after running for election. Last time he was relatively low-key. Now he is very excited to see so many voters from Songshan and Xinyi supporting him. He really hopes to help make some changes in the local area so that children and the elderly can be properly taken care of. Regarding Xinyi District being far behind in recent polls, Shen expressed that he hopes to continue to walk diligently so that friends in Songxin District can get to know him better.

Shen Boyang was also asked about the opening information of the campaign headquarters. He said in surprise, "Have we released it yet?" He said that before the opening of the campaign headquarters, there will be some small surprises and Easter eggs. The media asked, will President Lai Ching-te and former President Tsai Ing-wen attend? Shen laughed and said, "Please wait and see."

Shen Boyang's mother passed away on the eve of last year's general recall. When Shen gave a speech at the time, he revealed that he and his mother had planned to have a big dinner together, but as the Chinese media attacked him and the Blue and White camp continued to attack him, he was tired of coping. In the end, the two of them only ate French fries from a breakfast shop. Shen's mother even considerately said, "Fries are my favorite." The picture was recently reposted, causing many netizens to express their sympathy. When Shen Boyang was interviewed about his mother yesterday, he said, "I try to keep my mother's affairs in my heart now." His mother always encourages him. He also hopes that his mother can see him working hard in heaven.

He also spoke out for Hong Kong democrats Jimmy Lai and the Xinjiang Uyghurs, pointing out that China's arsenal is directed at the United States. This speech highlights the deep concerns within the Republican Party about Trump's China policy.
