Zhang Jun, an independent candidate for Hualien County Mayor, is expected to hold an inauguration meeting of the campaign headquarters on the 17th of this month.

Some people are afraid to rent advertising boards, but they want to support him but can only keep a low profile. Even the tour bus that takes the folks there can't be rented. "It's just like the Thanksgiving Life Festival on the anniversary of the recovery from the floods at the weekend." It's obvious that someone is blocking it.
With less than two months left until the election polling day, Zhang Jun said in an interview that he has been visiting everywhere recently to seek support, and many people have told him, "I can only support you privately, and it is not convenient to say it publicly"!

If you even support anyone, you will be afraid, "Is this the Hualien we want to leave to the next generation?"
