Why It Matters
Tsai Ing-wen ran for mayor of New Taipei City 16 years ago. Su Qiaohui currently serves as a legislator and has served in the Legislative Yuan for 11 years.
Su Qiaohui, New Taipei mayor candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, held a "campaign rally" in Xinzhuang this evening (14th). Even though it was raining, thousands of people came to support the event. There were constant cheers when former President Tsai Ing-wen appeared. She laughed and asked, "Can I speak?" She even joked that if everyone gets 100 votes for Su Qiaohui, she would not speak. Tsai Ing-wen also detailed how she ran for mayor of New Taipei City for the first time 16 years ago. She praised Su Qiaohui for her executive ability and carefulness, and expressed her support for Su Qiaohui, who was better than her and gave birth to the first female mayor of New Taipei City.
When Tsai Ing-wen appeared at Su Qiaohui's campaign, the audience cheered enthusiastically. She asked with a funny smile, "Can we start speaking?", and then laughed and asked the villagers, "Why didn't you act like this during my election?" She even joked that she only had 15 minutes and had a long speech to speak, and asked everyone to exercise self-restraint, "Unless you promise me to get 100 votes for Qiaohui by yourself, then I won't talk!" The audience laughed and applauded.
Tsai Ing-wen emphasized that she serves as the "official chairperson" of Su Qiaohui's campaign headquarters in this election. Every time she returns to New Taipei, she is reminded of the memory of her first election campaign 16 years ago. Legislator Wu Bingrui took her to Xinzhuang Old Street to see traditional maltose shops and visit temples. The democratic veteran "Shi Ming Oji-san" also lived in Xinzhuang during the last period of his life. The efforts of generations of Taiwanese people have allowed everyone to vote to decide the future today.
Tsai Ing-wen said emotionally that the most important meaning of democracy, in addition to having the right to vote, is that it also allows everyone to think seriously about what kind of life they want to live like and what kind of Taiwan they want to leave to the next generation. This election in New Taipei City is to elect a mayor to lead everyone to the future we all expect. "Sixteen years ago, I ran for mayor of New Taipei City but failed. This time we have Su Qiaohui, and most importantly, she is the best choice for New Taipei City."
Tsai Ing-wen used the example of proposing the ring line when she was running for office in 2010 and witnessing the opening of the first phase as president in 2020. She pointed out that urban construction needs to be continued step by step. Su Qiaohui has served in the Legislative Yuan for 11 years and has long fought for New Taipei. After receiving the budget, he also shared the stage with Mayor Hou Youyi to witness the construction of the Xindian Gengxin Hospital medical building and the new ramp of Wugu Interchange. "We will continue what is well done, and we will continue to complete what has not been completed," showing the magnanimity of being prepared to be mayor.
Tsai Ing-wen quoted Hou Youyi's famous saying, "What New Taipei City needs next is someone with experience, ability, and strength who can continue good policies. I think this person is Su Qiaohui."
Tsai Ing-wen said that Su Qiaohui not only saw the big construction, but also saw the citizens' needs for life, childcare, and long-term care. She also spent more than 800 days traveling to New Taipei's 29 administrative regions, market after market, visiting and organizing young staff and local councillors. She called on New Taipei citizens to support "Su Qiaohui, who is better than Tsai Ing-wen" and gave birth to the first female mayor of New Taipei City. She also called on everyone to support Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate who also has a warm and positive election style. She reminded that there are only 14 days left before the November 28 vote. Everyone must get at least 10 or 20 votes to support No. 1 Su Qiaohui and the parliamentary candidate for a home run, so that New Taipei City will definitely win.
