The media also asked whether there are cyber forces who want to discredit Shen Qianqian who went to Wufenpu to sweep the streets and pushed down an old man, but did he respond to the slap in the face? Is it the blue camp flanker who wants to prevent the green camp's momentum from continuing to rise? Shen Boyang said that there is a live broadcast throughout the whole process, and the pictures can speak for themselves. Those who watch will know that this is not the case; however, we must also remind that there are still many street sweeping trips, especially in the market, so everyone must pay attention to safety.
Shen Boyang also said that this kind of flanking slander has gradually become ineffective in this election, and the traffic is getting lower and lower, because now there are live broadcasts, and everyone does not like this kind of negative smear. In the end, what everyone wants to see is political opinions, and what they want to see is municipal administration. He believes that this kind of spirit is what everyone likes.
Regarding "Cultural Travel: Van Gogh" being questioned, Councilor Lanying raised a yellow duck in response. Shen Boyang said that with these foreign arts coming to Taiwan, this will not be a problem at all, but after they come, how to connect with the local art, this is what we can do. So yesterday he mentioned Hong Ruilin, Guo Xuehu, I may not have mentioned it specifically, but he also mentioned Polly Road, so in fact it is Van Gogh’s background, for example, his background as a miner, or where he studied today, and whether Taiwan has inherited such a painting method here. These are all links with Taiwan. No one will say that Van Gogh can’t come. It’s certainly good that Van Gogh is here, but Van Gogh can also take everyone to understand the history of Taipei and Taipei’s paintings.
