Zhu Lilun's Keelung assistant election affirmed Xie Guoliang's policies and emphasized that pragmatism is better than temporary fads

Zhu Lilun, former chairman of the Kuomintang, went to Keelung today (26th) for the first auxiliary election of this year. He accompanied Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang to Qidu Nanxing Market to pray for votes. Zhu Lilun affirmed Xie Guoliang’s governance achievements since he took office. Xie Guoliang is a mayor with vision, love and empathy. Regarding the frenzy of ocean currents in Beishi, the terms Zhu Lilun coined are not important. A temporary wind or current can only have a short-term effect at most. The most important thing is to be able to truly do a good job in municipal administration.

Zhu Lilun said that during the election process, opponents continued to create conflicts, but Xie Guoliang used tolerance and love to resolve them, which was definitely the best choice for Keelung citizens.

Regarding whether the ocean currents in Taipei City will spread to Keelung, Zhu Lilun said that the coined term is not important, but that the most important thing is to be able to do a down-to-earth job in municipal administration. With Zhang Shanzheng and kind-hearted people like Xie Guoliang, down-to-earth management is more important to the citizens. A temporary wind or current can only have a short-term effect at best. On the day of real pragmatic voting, it is more important for everyone to stand up and be kind.

Regarding the breakup of the Hsinchu Blue and White Alliance, Zhu Lilun said that of course everyone feels sad, but in Keelung he is a model of the Blue and White Alliance. He believes that if Xie Guoliang is more tolerant, more caring, and less conflict-oriented, many problems can be resolved. In Hsinchu, he feels that as long as everyone works harder, these conflicts and disputes can be resolved.

Xie Guoliang especially thanked Zhu Lilun for leaving Keelung for this year's first auxiliary election trip. He said that Zhu Lilun accumulated rich experience in urban governance and public affairs during his past tenure as county and city chief and party chairman, and was a very important senior and learning object for him.

Xie Guoliang said that during the recall case in 2024, Zhu Lilun came to Keelung many times to cheer him up and encourage him when he needed support the most. For him, it was not just electoral support, but also the encouragement and affirmation from his seniors to his juniors all the way. In the future, we will continue to do everything that citizens care about well.
