Shen Boyang’s first physical soap box lecture attracted hundreds of supporters to queue up and interact

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party's citizens' voice collection platform "Mayor, Listen to Me" extended its soapbox physical event and held a lecture outside the MRT Nangang Exhibition Center Station this evening.

Shen Boyang, a Taipei mayoral candidate from the Democratic Progressive Party, launched his public voice collection platform "Mayor, Listen to Me" on the 9th. It has accumulated at least 40,000 comments in the past 9 days. This evening, a soap box was set up outside the MRT Nangang Exhibition Center Station (No. 32, Section 1, Nangang Road) to give a lecture and answer citizens' questions. This is also the first event for the platform to become a physical entity. Before it even started, at least 100 people had already arrived and lined up in advance, and the number continued to increase. As soon as Shen arrived, thunderous cheers erupted. The first row behind the red dragon pillar with a sea view were all women. There were also many male supporters, ranging from young children to adults who were at least over 60 years old. There were a wide range of age groups, and some children took the initiative to high-five Shen. It was very kawaii.

According to observations, a lottery box was prepared at the scene. There were at least 100 question sheets representing the voices of the citizens. It was repeatedly emphasized that it should not involve verbal abuse. The first person to be drawn mentioned the issue of IQ. Since no one responded after calling for three times in a row, he gave up and chose the next person. It took about 5 or 6 minutes for each person to ask and answer questions. The young male supporter from Songshan District raised the issue of market vendors in the old neighborhood alleys. He took the Nanjing market as an example. The sidewalks are not well planned, cars drive very fast, and there are schools nearby, so he is worried that car accidents are prone to happen.

Shen responded by referring to the markings on Tongxue Road (district) mentioned at yesterday's transportation policy press conference. He pointed out that although there are marked sidewalks now, they do not involve "area". The supporting measures should be implemented from the entire area (should refer to the entire block). It is suggested that the market part can start with the market near the school, and cooperate with the central "Street Doctor" platform in a timely manner. The content is detailed but still managed to be completed within the time limit.

Interestingly, there was an incident when the second place was drawn (excluding the one who originally talked about IQ). Because the "I want to add a message" lottery box was too big, the petite parliamentary candidate Gao Jiayu couldn't put his hand in it. She screamed "for help" on the spot. The people laughed instantly when they saw this, but Gao quickly responded and finally successfully pulled out a middle-aged woman to step on the soap box to talk about child abuse.

The third person was a young father and mother with two young children who showed up to ask about the solution to child abuse. The parents squatted down with a microphone and asked the children "your mayor", and the children responded without hesitation, "Shen Boyang!" ” The crowd immediately cheered, and asked another child’s question, “Ask A, answer B,” and everyone burst into laughter. At the end, one of the children walked up to give Shen Boyang a high-five, which melted the hearts of his mother-in-law, uncles, brothers, sisters, and sisters. He instantly said, “Wow~~~~~~~”. Shen Jiali took the initiative to ask his siblings if they wanted to high-five. The other child thought for a moment and walked closer, stretched out his small palm and gave Shen a squatting high-five, which was very kawaii.
