As the end of the year election campaign heats up, former People's Party Central Committee member Zhang Yifan revealed on the political commentary program "Taiwan's Frontline" that Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan will start building a feng shui pond in the city hall square in October and will close the city hall road for nearly two years. Is he trying to change his luck and successfully enter the presidential palace in 2028? Shen Boyang, a candidate for mayor of Taipei from the Democratic Progressive Party, said that budget spending is very important, and Feng Shui and luck actually depend on the trust of citizens. The better the answers to citizens' questions, the better the city's luck will be.

Zhang Yifan said on the program that Jiang Wanan awarded a large number of contracted projects in the last year of his term, allowing him to publicize his many political achievements. He angrily criticized this as "model political achievements." He said that construction will begin on the City Hall Square in October, and he plans to build a feng shui pond in the square. It is not expected to be completed until 2028. “Is it because he wants to change his luck so that he can successfully enter the presidential palace in 2028?”

Zhang Yifan said that at the end of the year there was not only the mayoral election, but also the much-anticipated New Year's Eve party. The City Hall Plaza happened to be the main venue for these two events, but Jiang Wanan did not have the relevant supporting facilities. In order to achieve his "exemplary political achievements", he had to close the city hall road for two years, leaving traffic in a dark period. He never thought about the needs of the citizens. This is also like what Shen Boyang said, "If Jiang Wanan is more serious, he is worried that Taipei City will really be unable to bear it."

Shen Boyang said in an interview this morning that no matter what Jiang Wanan wants to do, it is very important to spend the budget wisely, but he hopes that the commuting improvements, ditch cleaning, child protection, nutritious lunches, etc. he mentioned before also require money, and it is better to use it on this. If he wants to update the Citizen Square, Mayor Jiang may have his reasons, but he believes that a city's feng shui and a person's luck actually depend on the trust of citizens. The more people's questions are answered today, the better the city's luck will be.
