KMT Central Mayor candidate Jiang Qichen held the founding meeting of the general election. Legislative President Han Guoyu, Central Mayor Lu Xiuyan and New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi's "three sons" joined forces to support him. Jiang Qichen thanked the "three sons" for their first joint election campaign in the past eight years, and said that the "three sons" supported the "big nose" because Han Guoyu gave him the nickname, "and asked my wife (Liu Ziling) what she thought."
The founding meeting of Jiang Qichen's general election was held at 9 a.m. today (4th) at the prime location of Shicheng Bei 1st Road and Phase 7. The host announced that more than 10,000 people were present. After Han Kuo-yu, Hou Youyi and Lu Xiuyan reunited in a "group hug", Jiang Qichen gave a speech to thank the "three sons" for their contribution to the joint election. I believe it was not just dedicated to him, because they all care about Taichung, so they are willing to join forces to support his "big nose".
Jiang Qichen said that the nickname "Big Nose" was given by Han Guoyu's gang. Two years ago, when he was electing a legislator, he visited to build momentum. Hanguo Yu asked, "What does my wife think of this big nose?" Later, when he went to sweep the streets to ask for votes, someone on a motorcycle stopped by, thinking he wanted to cheer him up. People actually came over to take a look and said, "Hey, the nose is really big."
Jiang Qichen said that Taichung is a happy, livable and happy city. It is about to become a "big city". The population will nearly exceed 2.9 million (more than 2.866 million people), and a further increase of 3 million is just around the corner. We must move forward together to become a city with 3 million people. In the future, when we talk about Taichung, we must say loudly: "I am a Taichung person, and I am very proud" and "I am Taichung, and I am proud."
