Qiu Fengying, a village representative candidate in the first constituency of Xincheng Township in Hualien County, participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala of Shun'an Village this evening and suddenly fell to the ground when she was on stage. After receiving the report, the Hualien County Fire Department dispatched an ambulance to the scene. It was found that she had cardiorespiratory arrest (OHCA) and she was immediately given first aid and sent to the hospital. County Councilor Wu Renshun expressed his hope on Facebook that supporters can rally support for the candidates and hope to tide over the difficulties.

In the past 20 years, the first constituency of Xinchengxiang has been contested by rural representatives from the Kuomintang and non-party members. For the first time this year, the DPP nominated Qiu Fengying, a rural representative with party membership, in the first constituency of Xinchengxiang. She moved from Taoyuan to Hualien more than ten years ago. I have seen that Hualien was once a prosperous industry more than ten years ago, and I have also seen that many industries have faced difficulties in recent years, and business operations have become increasingly difficult. I have also seen that many grassroots folks are working hard to make a living, but do not receive the resources and care they deserve. Therefore, I chose to represent the DPP this time to run for election.

Hu Renshun, a county councilor from the Democratic Progressive Party, wrote on Facebook that Sister Fengying fainted while participating in an event. Her condition was sudden and critical, and she was being rescued in the operating room. At this moment when we should be united in campaigning, Sister Fengying is in such danger, and everyone is very sad. I would like to ask friends all over the country to help gather strength for Sister Fengying and hope that she can overcome this difficulty. The Hualien County Party Headquarters of the Democratic Progressive Party also confirmed the news on Facebook.
