The Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang recently paid a visit to former Taipei City Speaker Chen Jianzhi from the Kuomintang, sparking heated discussions. In addition to a follow-up visit, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan also invited Speaker Chen Jianzhi, senior congressmen, legislators and others to form a senior democratic support group today (12th). Chen Jianzhi even presented Chiang Wanan with good luck and wished him good luck in being elected with a high vote. However, during the meeting, former Taipei City Councilor Wei Yilong said on the spot that those who support the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang are just droplets, and "those who support Chiang Wanan are all normal people." Whether you want to be a normal person depends on how you vote. Finally, he added that this was an Internet joke, not from him.

Today, Chiang Wanan asked senior democratic representatives to support him. Campaign chairperson Lu Xiuyan and Taichung City Industrial Policy Council director-general Chen Xuesheng also attended the Taipei City senior democratic representatives support meeting. Former Taipei City Speaker Chen Jianzhi, former Blue Committee member Chiang Naixin and others also came and gave good luck to Chiang Wanan. Former Speaker Wu Bizhu was unwell, and senior councilor Li Geng Guifang conveyed a message, expressing her support for Jiang Wanan and hoping that Jiang Wanan would be elected with a high vote.

Wei Yilong said that in the past, the speaker of the parliament told him to stop talking. Today, he came here specially. Everyone has his own merits in democratic elections, and everyone should respect whoever chooses. But there is a joke on the Internet. Let me tell you, "Those who support Shen Boyang are just droplets. Who are the people who support Jiang Wanan? Those who support Jiang Wanan are all normal people!"

Wei Yilong also said, "Whether you want to be a normal person or a sensible person depends entirely on your vote at the time, okay?" At the end, he emphasized that this was an Internet joke, not his own. Later, after Chen Xuesheng took over the microphone, he also echoed, "Vote normally for Jiang Wanan."
