[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang held a campaign headquarters inauguration meeting on the 4th. Supporters on the scene enthusiastically waved support items. Unexpectedly, the live broadcast camera scanned and captured Tsai Kang-yong standing low-key in the audience. He was wearing a light-colored gentleman's hat, a black mask, and a pink-orange top. He also waved a cheer stick along with the scene. After the picture was enlarged, he was immediately recognized by sharp-eyed netizens.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan invited Tsai to attend the event on the 5th. He replied: "When I receive a specific invitation, I will happily go to observe and learn." In this regard, Taipei City Councilor Miao Boya said that after reading Tsai Kang-yong's answer, he thought that he immediately pointed out the difference between "ocean current" and "blue current" (blue current) in just a few words.

Miao Boya said in the program "Election Mirror" that Tsai Kangyong's reply focused on "co-creating the party atmosphere." "Tsai Kangyong's great thing is to use just two sentences to point out the difference between the ocean current and the blue stream. The blue stream (meaning not to enter the stream) of the blue camp is hateful and splashing dirty water. In the campaign, hatred and dirty water are continued. Everyone on stage scolds Shen Boyang." She believes that Tsai Kangyong's emphasis on shaping the party atmosphere is impossible to achieve.

Finally, Miao Boya praised Cai Kangyong as a person who has published many books and hosted many programs. In just a few sentences, he pointed out the difference between Jiang Wanan's negative campaign and Shen Boyang's positive campaign.
