With 20 days left before the end of the year election, many Taiwanese tourists who have lived abroad for a long time have already bought their air tickets and are preparing to return to their country to vote. Taiwanese overseas Chinese living in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA, recently held an "Ocean Current Picnic Day" event at Cupertino Memorial Park, attracting thousands of people to participate. At the end of the event, a heartwarming video of Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang expressing his gratitude to supporters in the United States was played. The relevant footage also sparked discussions online.

It is understood that this special event held in the San Francisco Bay Area was initiated by the "Taiwan-US Democracy Workstation", a group of Taiwanese non-governmental organizations that are deeply involved in the United States and care about Taiwan's democracy. The theme of the event is "Ocean Current Sets Sail, Small Drops Converge." Everyone is welcome to bring orange items or wear orange clothes to participate. An interactive area is also planned so that participants can take photos and check in or leave messages. The organizer also revealed that as soon as online registration for the event opened, it was filled up quickly.

Not only that, the organizer also specially designed an "Ocean Current Boarding Pass" with the route marked "SFO-TPE" (San Francisco to Taipei), symbolizing the hearts of Taiwanese overseas Chinese in the United States crossing the Pacific and reaching their hometown of Taiwan. All registered participants will receive exclusive boarding passes, Ocean Current streamers, commemorative stickers and other small items of support. According to the photos shared by the organizers and the public, a bright and warm sea of ​​orange appeared at the event site.

In addition, an exclusive cross-ocean video recorded by Shen Boyang was played at the end of the event. In addition to his sincere gratitude to all Taiwanese overseas Chinese who have been living abroad for many years and constantly speaking out for Taiwan internationally, he also called on those who can return home to return to Taiwan to exercise their right to vote. If you are unable to do so, you can also encourage your relatives and friends in Taiwan by phone to go to the voting booth on November 28 and let the ocean flow home together: "A drop of water is very small, but when many small water droplets gather together, they will become an ocean current."

After the event footage was exposed, many netizens said, "The votes are valid. You have to go back to Taiwan to vote. Thank you." , "Thank you for voting Superman for flying back to vote to protect our country and our city." "It's so touching. You are overseas! This enthusiasm is incredible!" "Can you all come back to vote? There is a voting unit in the blue camp, and Shen Boyang needs your vote. ”.
