Vice President Xiao Meiqin came to Hualien this afternoon. In addition to attending the founding meeting of the DPP Hualien County Councilor Hu Renshun and other campaign headquarters, and presenting flags to party candidates, she also went to Ji'an in the afternoon with Hualien County Magistrate candidate and independent Speaker Zhang Jun The township Wugu Palace paid homage and was received by chairman Li Jinfu.

After visiting the shrine, Xiao Meiqin specially presented a pole to Zhang Jun for him to carry on his shoulders, symbolizing "carrying the Hualien on one shoulder"! Zhang Jun said that he would like to thank Vice President Xiao for the special gift of the pole. He will take on the important responsibility of changing Hualien. In the future, he will also work closely with the central government to make Hualien better and better.

Xiao Meiqin believes that she spent 10 years in Hualien, which was a very precious experience, and hopes to leave a better Hualien. However, she has seen that Hualien has been very hard in the past few years, facing challenges such as wind disasters, Matai'an River floods, earthquakes, and difficulties in local governance. All parts of Taiwan, including Taitung and Pingtung, have found the way forward, and Hualien should not fall behind others.

Speaking of the reasons for supporting Zhang Jun, Xiao Meiqin said that she and Zhang Jun belonged to different political parties in the past and had different political ideas. The last time she elected a legislator in Hualien, Zhang also supported different candidates. This time, for the development of Hualien, everyone put aside their ideologies and parties to find common ground and work together for the progress of Hualien, especially to promote local construction. If the central and local governments need to work together, she sees that Speaker Zhang Jun is willing to transcend parties and lead Hualien forward. This is a very positive force. She believes that Hualien people still have expectations for the future even in the face of setbacks. Therefore, she calls on Hualien folks to "put the political parties on both sides and Hualien in the middle" this time, and work together to cheer for Hualien.
