In the evening, Lu Xiuyan posted a Facebook post recommending "Wu Enemie Iron King Kong" to protect Yilan and strike out with justice; however, many netizens flooded in and started to post wildly. Questions were asked, "There are so many problems to be solved in Taichung, why do you go to the platform to protect the people of Yilan?", "You can't do well in Taichung, but you still go to support Yilan", "Have the food waste, garbage mountain, and the Great Wall of Mattress been solved?" Some people even ridiculed "I don't even care about Yilan in Taiwan."
Lu Xiuyan helped Wu Zongxian stand up today. In the evening, she affirmed in a Facebook post that Wu Zongxian had served as a prosecutor and was also a current legislator. He stood on the front line of public opinion and bravely protected the people like an invincible iron king. The hero spirit is not afraid of hardships and difficulties. She invited good friends in Yilan to support Wu Zongxian and let him lead Yilan and build Yilan.
Many comments flooded in below her post. Some netizens ridiculed "Taichung City Government develops each township with its own characteristics. There is a kitchen waste sea in Wufeng, a garbage mountain in Dali, swine fever in Wuqi, and a Great Mattress Wall in Tanzi. Are you going to inherit Taichung's experience?" "Taichung garbage mountain, kitchen waste lake, and mattress growth City, my mother didn’t know anything about it”, “Don’t dump food waste into Yilan”, “There are so many problems to be solved in Taichung, why do you go to the platform to protect the people of Yilan?”, “You can’t even do well in Taichung, but you still go to support Yilan”, “Have food waste, garbage mountains, and the Great Wall of Mattress been solved?”
Others left messages, "In the last year, I didn't care about my own country and just went around building things.", "How can the president govern the country when the municipal government has zero points?", "Seriously, Taichung should be done well first," and "I don't even care about Yilan anymore."
