Why It Matters
Shen Boyang is a candidate for Taipei mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party. He has been feeling unwell recently due to a hoarse throat, but he continues to visit grassroots groups.
Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, was ill on the 24th. In the evening, he still went to Wanhua District to attend the Zhongyuan Business District Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Although the itinerary was not disclosed, there was still a lot of "ocean current" at the scene. Shen Boyang walked for 20 minutes from entering the venue to taking the stage, and his popularity was quite strong.
Shen Boyang was interviewed and said that the team had arranged some schedules and had rested for about half an hour earlier. Seeing the enthusiasm of the supporters, he felt that the hoarseness of his voice had healed and it had become smoother. However, the doctor also said that he should get more rest. He also went to bed early recently and prepared relevant medicines. Please don't worry too much, his throat will gradually recover.
Shen Boyang explained that the current itinerary is not public, and sometimes he is afraid that supporters will be too tired. Previously, Yansan Night Market considered traffic safety, and the team will definitely take the surrounding safety and fatigue into consideration. As for his body, his throat is just a little hoarse now, but he is in good spirits and has sufficient physical strength. Now he will try his best to take a nap in the car and try to have a good rest.
When it comes to the election situation, Shen Boyang also said that Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan is now very popular and well-known, so there is no need to compare him with Chiang's individual street sweeps. For him, it is to visit the grassroots frequently and listen to the voices of the people.
The media also asked that the North City Government Works Bureau issued a press release stating that the complaint was filed against the people because they said "cut down the tree and kill the whole family." This involved intimidation. Commissioner Shen Boyang should distinguish right from wrong. Shen Boyang said that the issue of nutritious lunches or trees was caused by a lot of speculation because the city government did not explain clearly. Instead, the city government did not explain it clearly, but instead labeled it as a rumor and even filed a lawsuit. Should the attitude of this approach be reversed? Explaining clearly is not that difficult. Just explain it carefully and then turn to the next page to tell everyone how to prevent it. I believe that the North City Government can also withstand such a test.
In addition, the Van Gogh chapter of the Taipei cultural tour uses the artist Van Gogh's paintings as IP, causing the outside world to question its connection with Taipei City? Shen Boyang commented that it is a pity. It is a good thing to be able to reproduce famous paintings, but we can consider a deeper connection with Taipei. For example, in the past, Japanese painters were influenced by Van Gogh, and later Japanese painters influenced Taiwanese painters. This forms a story. Taipei is a city with great depth. If it can be well integrated with Van Gogh, I believe everyone will feel differently.
