Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently went to Liaoning Night Market to canvass the streets for votes. When the parade publicly expressed support for Shen Boyang's famous dumpling restaurant, supporters shouted louder and louder at the door of the store. In response, Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party bluntly said, "If something is coming at me, how can I target my supporters?" He also emphasized that his team will visit stores in advance to confirm their wishes before sweeping the streets, and will not deliberately make noise in front of stores that do not want him to come and say hello. Subsequently, footage of Shen Boyang's team "greeting" vendors in advance before sweeping the streets also went viral on the Internet.

Faced with the storm of Jiang Wanan’s supporters surrounding the “Yu Yi Cun Dumpling Shop”, Shen Boyang emphasized in an interview yesterday (7th) that his campaign team would first understand the wishes of the shops one by one before arranging street sweeps in all markets and night markets; only those shops that are willing to support and welcome interaction will go in to greet them. If they do not support or are busy and inconvenient at the moment, motorcades and walking teams will pass quickly and will not be forced to disturb them. They will not shout slogans at the door to cause trouble to the shops.

The fan blog "North Korean Defector Ice Wolf" also reposted the side-shot video on Threads and pointed out that Shen Boyang's team would arrive at the scene in advance before sweeping the streets and communicate with the shops and vendors one by one. He praised, "This is the basics and courtesy of being a human being. No wonder everyone has a good impression." As can be seen in the picture, staff members wearing orange vests shuttled through the Wanhua Huannan Market in advance, bowing humbly to the stalls and reminding them: "Excuse me for disturbing you later," "Mayor Shen Boyang will come to say hello to you later," "It's so bad, please give me more advice if you have any suggestions," hoping to minimize disruption.

After the footage was exposed, it triggered a discussion, and many people expressed support: "The patterns of the two sides are very different. One is humble and polite, visiting beforehand and cleaning up afterward. The other is a legislator who takes the lead in going out and pretends to be innocent afterwards. It is none of my business." "Don't the Wan'an team like to copy? Copy this! What a heartless team. "You guys can't even copy it!", "I remember the Ningxia night market. I went there with my family to look for food. About an hour before the scheduled time, the volunteer partners had already started greeting the vendors and people at the scene. They were really attentive." "It was the same at 737, it was really heartwarming."

Open Questions

  • Did Jiang Wanan himself know or authorize his supporters to make noise in front of the dumpling shop?
  • The specific stance of the owner of the dumpling shop in Youyi Village on the incident
  • Will the incident have a substantial impact on the election of the two candidates?

Li Qianlong said that the ocean current fermented too early and the crisis in the blue camp has passed. Zhan Lingyu criticized "self-anaesthesia"

Li Qianlong, vice chairman and secretary-general of the Kuomintang, believes that the "ocean current" effect poses a threat to Kuomintang candidates, but it fermented too early and the crisis has now passed. Media person Zhan Lingyu criticized that the KMT’s pre-election announcement that the crisis was over was not confidence but anesthesia, and questioned Li Qianlong’s logic, pointing out that the “Korean Wave” also fermented early in 2018. As a result, Kaohsiung flipped, and the voting day on November 28 is still 20 days away.
