President Lai Qingde went to Yilan to assist in the election of party county and mayor candidates, emphasizing cooperation between the central and local governments and the promotion of construction.
President Lai Qingde went to Yilan today to attend a joint support event for county magistrate candidate Lin Guozhang and mayor candidate Han Ying. He held both hands to urge for votes, emphasizing that the central government has invested hundreds of billions of yuan to promote major local construction. "Yilan can no longer idle." Only the professional Lin Guozhang and the talented and beautiful Han Ying can take over the county and city government to return the holy land of democracy to glory.
Talking about Han Ying, Lai Qingde praised her as a model of young people with "both talent and beauty". He pointed out that Han Ying once worked as a TV anchor and was later appointed as the party spokesperson. Her salary was greatly reduced when she became the spokesperson. However, she upheld the hard-necked spirit of "supporting Taiwan and caring for her hometown" and gave up her high salary to return home. This selfless character is admirable.
Lai Qingde revealed that the Yilan mayoral election was a tough battle. He urged Han Ying to shoulder the heavy responsibility and emphasized, "I entrusted her and Lin Guozhang to elect her. I will definitely be responsible for local construction in the future!" Then he led the audience in shouting "If you don't vote for Han, don't vote, and if you don't vote for Ying, don't vote." The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Lai Qingde strongly recommended Lin Guozhang as a talent who has "deeply cultivated local experience". In his early years as a lawyer, he often assisted disadvantaged lawsuits free of charge. He is kind-hearted and has no party affiliation in the past. He only has the "Yilan Party" in his heart. If he becomes the county magistrate, he will definitely be able to transcend the blue-green framework and seamlessly integrate major central policies with the most professional administrative efficiency.
Lai Qingde emphasized that Yilan has missed the opportunity to cooperate with the central government in the past eight years and cannot stand still. He said bluntly that "if Yilan wants to succeed, transportation must first be connected." The high-speed rail, railway elevated railway, Suhua'an and Yangtze University Affiliated Hospital expansion are all ready. The central government is willing, but the local government must be more powerful. He hopes that with the professional efforts of Lin Guozhang and Han Ying, the construction dividend will be fully realized.
Han Ying said that Yilan City is the largest city in the county, but its population and construction have gradually lagged behind in recent years, which makes her very reluctant. She is "not here to put on a show, but to roll up my sleeves and make a pledge!" She took the lead in advocating to increase the Double Ninth Festival gift money and increase child care subsidies. She also vowed to use her past experience in media and foreign affairs to promote international city exchanges, so that Yilan City can get rid of stagnation and shine. She implores the villagers to give the younger generation the opportunity to change their hometown, and together make Yilan stride towards the international level.
Lin Guozhang said that in the face of slander and abuse by his opponents, he has always insisted on fighting a positive campaign. In the future, he will build a "Beiyi Dual Heart" industrial blueprint, planning to connect Nangang and Neihu Science and Technology Park, introduce AI, unmanned vehicles and biomedical industries to pave the way for young people. After being elected, he will surely integrate seamlessly with the central government and become the strongest backer of the county people, striving to realize the vision of "the county and city work together, Yilan will definitely win."
