The 46-year-old Huang Jiatian is a Taichung City Councilor of the Kuomintang, taking over from her mother, Li Lihua, a senior councilor in the Taiping District. Due to the homophony of her name and her friendly and considerate image, local supporters often call her "Sweetheart Councilor".

Lu Xiuyan said that like her, Councilor Huang Jiatian had a hip surgery many years ago. Jiatian had the surgery this year. After the surgery, the election started and the municipal work was very busy, so Jiatian kept running. Logically, she had to take a rest after the surgery, so she had no way to rest.

Lu Xiuyan said that Jiatian kept running and running, and finally broke out last night (7th). She was in unbearable pain and her whole leg was inflamed. Therefore, she was rushed to the hospital during treatment at the National Military Taichung General Hospital. She wished her a speedy recovery.

Li Lihua was assisting Renrui in taking photos at Pinglin Xinqiao in the morning. Li Lihua said reluctantly that Jiatian "cannot move at all. Being unable to move is like being disabled." She had no rest at all because of the hip injection and surgery. After a week, many people asked her to go out for a trip while she was still in bed. It has been half a year now, and this happened yesterday, very suddenly.

Li Lihua said that Jiatian suddenly fell to the ground during the trip, so she took a taxi to the hospital. "I couldn't even go to the toilet while lying on the bed, and it hurt whenever I moved." She was currently recuperating in the hospital and letting the doctors deal with it, so she was overworked and overworked.

Denying that the convening committee is "containing" Shen Boyang Xu Qiaoxin: It is more important to review the additional budget and review the shortage of manpower in the national army

The results of the election of convening members of the Legislative Yuan Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee for the new session were released. Kuomintang legislator Xu Qiaoxin and DPP legislator Wang Yichuan were elected as the new convening members. When interviewed, Xu Qiaoxin emphasized that she had not served as a convening committee member in the past, so she was consulted, and called on legislators to focus on their duties. She also responded to the outside world's interpretation that her election was a "check" on Shen Boyang, a legislator of the Democratic Progressive Party and Taipei mayoral candidate on the same committee, saying that she hoped that all committee members would focus on defense and diplomacy issues and pay attention to the shortage of national military manpower and the delay in the purchase of US military.
