Why It Matters
During the Kaohsiung mayoral election, candidates' speeches and use of social media were often scrutinized by opponents, and their words became an entry point for political attacks.
Former Kaohsiung Culture Director Yin Lijin posted a post on Facebook on the 14th, criticizing Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien's Facebook post for using "新瑞江" as a typo. In response, Ke Zhien's campaign responded that "horijiang" and "horijian" have long been commonly used in Kaohsiung, and the two writing styles have coexisted for a long time. Even former Kaohsiung mayor Chen Ju and even Yin Li himself have used the word "hori" in their posts in the past.
Yin Li issued an article today saying that Ke Zhien made a joke again. This is not a typo or the editor's mistake. This is simply unintentional towards Kaohsiung. Ke Zhien's community has frequently overturned recently, mistaking Pingtung New Garden for Linyuan, and Linyuan's live broadcast content was written as Yancheng District. In the past, Dali Department Store was called Largan Lights, and Weiwuying was called Dawuying.

Yin Li questioned that words are just carriers, and what they reflect behind it is whether a political figure has invested real emotions and time in this city. He can't even remember the name and place name because the history and life of this city have never really entered Ke Zhien's heart.
In response to this, Ke Jingban responded that current members including Qiu Junxian, Tang Yongyu, Zheng Mengzhen, Zhang Boyang and others have all used the word "Xinjuijiang". According to Yin Li's logic, are these people "not familiar with Kaohsiung"? Or is it okay as long as it is written by a green camp person, but if it is written by Ke Zhien, it will suddenly become a "typo"?
Ke Jingban further pointed out that the most ironic thing is that Yin Li himself used the term "Xinjuijiang" publicly on Facebook in the past, and Yin Li became so cruel that he even beat himself up.
Ke Jingban emphasized that what really needs to be discussed in Kaohsiung are urban development, local construction and the life issues faced by citizens every day, rather than making a fuss about a word that has long been widely used. If even the writing methods he has used in the past can be used to attack others, this kind of "finding faults" with different standards will only make people see that what Yin Li really wants to do is not to discuss Kaohsiung, but to attack for the sake of attacking.
