Kuomintang Taipei City Councilor Qin Huizhu choked up in a political commentary program recently and mentioned the pain of failing to have a child, calling on everyone to stop joking about whether or not to have children. In this regard, former police officer and well-known football commentator Shi Ming said bitterly, "It is not easy to see someone with Qin Huizhu's personality show weakness in front of the camera, but maybe Jiang Wanan doesn't know what he said wrong."

Shi Mingjin posted an article today pointing out that Qin Huizhu is a very strong public opinion representative when it comes to politics. "I had several exchanges with her when I was young (well, I was scolded)." However, she has a weakness in her heart, that is, she has a child who was born with a congenital disorder, so it is not surprising to see her choked with emotion in front of the camera.

Shi Mingjin sighed and said that some people don't know what touched Qin Huizhu. The reason was that Jiang Wanan recently appeared on a People's Party program and chatted with several People's Party parliamentary candidates. During the conversation, the issue of having children was mentioned. Jiang Wanan compared with one of the candidates who is more likely to have children. He also said that he was not excited and could receive 30,000 yuan for having another four babies (taking the opportunity to promote his maternity subsidy policy).

Shi Mingjin said bluntly, "This kind of topic should not be uncommon in various wine stalls. Some old straight men either brag about how brave they were as soldiers in the past, or they claim that they are good at giving birth to sons (obviously they are not born by themselves), or they make their wives submissive and obedient, etc. In fact, it is not a serious crime, it is just a topic that some old men like to talk about when they are drunk."

Shi Ming sighed and said that because there is an election now, Jiang Wanan, as the mayor, talks about policies to encourage childbirth in a public place, "but it is a bit inappropriate to talk about how long I will have children." Although it is not a big mistake, Assemblymember Qin, as a mother of a child with a disability, knows how difficult it is to raise a child. Because she cannot give birth to a second child, she cannot get the understanding of her husband's family. This topic is repeatedly broadcast on the Internet, which is really too harsh for her.

In addition, Jiang Wanan responded in an interview at the Legislative Yuan today (13th) that he has always emphasized on many occasions that whether to have children must be a joint decision between partners and they respect each other. We should respect every choice of all female friends whether they have children or choose to get married.
