Chiang Deli, the eldest son of Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, was admitted to the Taipei City Education Bureau's international exchange student program, sparking controversy over privileges and benefits avoidance. Jiang Wanan responded yesterday (the 4th), "Appearance is public, but does that mean appearance will be humiliated?" In response, writer Joyce Tan, who runs the Facebook fan page "Bombay Spring and Autumn", said that she has not seen any comments that humiliate the appearance of the mayor's son. The core of public criticism has always been "not knowing how to avoid interests", questioning Jiang Wanan's deliberate deflection of the outside world's focus on institutional testing and conflicts of interest.

Joyce confessed in a post on her Facebook page today, "I have not seen any comments that shame his son's appearance. They are all criticizing him for not knowing how to avoid profit. However, there are all kinds of extreme comments on the Internet, so I believe there must be people who talk about appearance out of boredom."

In response to Jiang Wanan's response, Joyce choked, "How noble is his family?" He bluntly said that whenever there were comments that he didn't like on the Internet, he would deliberately single them out and accuse them of being humiliated. He shouted to Jiang Wanan, "Please, look at other public figures." She couldn't help but ask, "Is it only him who encounters the occasional extreme remarks on the Internet?"

After seeing the post, netizens left messages one after another. Some said, "It's just a trick of asking A and answering B!", "Only when you see someone on the Internet comparing his appearance to his grandfather's, do you call it humiliating?", "Jiang Bao is actually not that powerful. The "hypocrites" around him trained him to be an angry bird, and Baoli answered B", "Again, he is asking A and answering B, humiliating his own son."
