Deputy Dean of Taiwan’s "Academic Research Institute" Chen Jianren has recently served as deputy to "President" candidate Tsai Ing-wen. The combination of Tsai Ing-wen and Chen Jianren will appear in Taiwanese politics. In 2011, when the "Yuchang case" broke out, Tsai Ing-wen was questioned for abuse of power and corruption, which became the focus of the 2012 general election. At that time, Chen Jianren defended Tsai Ing-wen for the first time, and co-signed with more than 80 scientists to endorse Tsai Ing-wen. In addition to his academic status, Chen Jianren also has the title of Vatican "Paladin" and , which arouses discussion on Taiwanese social networking sites. The "Academic Research Institute" recently released the resignation message of Vice President Chen Jianren, confirming that Chen Jianren will step down from his academic post and become the deputy of the DPP "Presidential" candidate Tsai Ing-wen.

At 4 pm on November 16, Tsai Ing-wen announced that Chen Jianren, the vice-president of the Academia Sinica, was his running partner. He also described Chen as "calm and methodical, which will bring happiness to the people. I believe Chen Jianren can make the entire DPP team continue to be stable." The Academia Sinica feels sorry for this but respects it.
Chen Jianren also said in a complex mood: "Academic research has always been my favorite job. Once I abandon academics and engage in public service, I will lose my favorite research career in my life. I do have reluctance and struggle. My wife and My daughter prayed for me. They felt God’s enlightenment and wanted me to be a light in the world, a rock on the ground, and light up Taiwan like a small candle."
Chen Jianren is 64 years old, a non-partisan, and a native of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. . He graduated from the Department of Zoology at National Taiwan University in Taiwan in 1973, and received a master's degree in public health from the National Taiwan University School of Medicine in 1977. Subsequently, Chen Jianren went to Johns Hopkins University in the United States for further studies and obtained a doctorate in epidemiology in 1982. However, he is not an ordinary scholar.
was awarded "Paladin" for SARS control.
He is a scholar willing to practice. He has participated in various major epidemic prevention and control investigation projects in Taiwan, including polio, hepatitis B, and lung cancer. His research has driven countries around the world to attach importance to drinking water. "Arsenic poisoning" is the biggest environmental health disaster that harms hundreds of millions of people. Various deeds have established his position in the epidemiological community in Taiwan.
In 2003, Taiwan's SARS epidemic spread. Because Chen Jianren has rich experience in epidemiology and public health prevention and treatment, coupled with his honesty, sincerity, and good coordination, he became the convener of the SARS Expert Committee. Chen Jianren was the convener. , Wake up at dawn, from six to eight, watch the latest information and reports published by the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and the Hong Kong Department of Health in front of the computer. "The Disease Control Bureau held a meeting to analyze the epidemic situation based on the reported cases in Taiwan.
Later, when the epidemic situation was rising, Chen Jianren was ordered to take over as the director of health. After learning of this news, Chen Jianren returned to the "Department of Health" and continued to participate in the World Health Organization's global expert video conference, and did not return home until after midnight. In the end, he succeeded in stabilizing the SARS epidemic and established a high social reputation with his profession, which was also recognized by the medical community.
At that time, the media asked Chen Jianren why he was willing to stand up? He mentioned his Catholic faith and believed that human service was his belief. At the critical moment of SARS, he carried the cross without hesitation. Out of his contribution to Taiwanese society during SARS, coupled with taking care of the disadvantaged groups and communicating with the Vatican, Chen Jianren was canonized as a knight of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem in November 2010. He was then named the Order of St. Gregory the Great in 2013. This title aims to affirm those who have made outstanding contributions to the church and the field of work, and to inspire believers to pursue justice and truth.
Chen Jianren’s religious feelings were also revealed in his speech today, "Whether we are going to heaven or to hell, whether we are going to the light or the darkness, whether we continue to decline or reform and update, all depends on the people of Taiwan in January 2016 It is the responsibility of everyone who loves Taiwan deeply.” Chen Jianren also quoted Francis as saying that politicians have always been fighting for their own interests, but politicians see their responsibilities from the needs of the people, “really The power of the good shepherd is to serve. The good shepherd must be full of the flock of sheep and personally take care of the hungry, thirsty, and naked homeless.
alone perfectly meets the "social talent" standard proposed by Tsai Ing-wen.
The "Yuchang case" once endorsed Tsai Ing-wen
After Chen Jianren resigned as the "Director of Health" in 2005, he served as the "Chairman of the National Science Committee of the Executive Yuan." During this time, Chen Jianren devoted himself to research and wrote many articles, such as: "Association of cytokine and DNA repair gene polymorphisms with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma" (association of cytokine and DNA repair gene polymorphisms with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma) .
Of course, apart from research, he is also one of the important promoters in promoting the "National Development Fund" to invest in the biotechnology new drug industry and the establishment of Yuchang Company. In 2007, Chen Jianren and the head of the Economic and Construction Committee He Meiyue proposed a plan to the then "President of the Executive Yuan", suggesting that the "National Development Fund" should be used to invest in the establishment of a biotechnology company for research on AIDS drugs. Because of various twists and turns, I had to pause. After
, the time is ripe and the company plans to restart. Some scholars invited Tsai Ing-wen, who had just stepped down as the deputy dean of the Executive Yuan, to serve as chairman of the board and set up Taimao Biotech and Yuchang Biotech to operate. In 2011, when the "Yuchang case" broke out, Tsai Ing-wen was questioned for abuse of power and corruption, which became the focus of the 2012 general election.
Chen Jianren defended Tsai Ing-wen for the first time, and also co-signed with more than 80 scientists to endorse Tsai Ing-wen. According to the media’s interview with Chen Jianren, he said that the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry is very important to Taiwan. Although the political parties are rotating, Taiwan’s biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry cannot continue because of this. When Yuchang Company was founded, it was difficult to raise funds, so he asked Tsai Ing-wen to help. Therefore, Zhongyu New Drug has the opportunity to develop successfully.
Chen Jianren emphasized at the time that all things, "when they encounter blue and green, they will change their taste." He believes that the development of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry should be made with all-out efforts and not too political, so that Taiwan cannot succeed.
Now recalling the Regulations on the Promotion of Biotechnology and New Drug Industry in 2007, Chen Jianren was quite proud: Weng Qihui, Dean of the Academia Sinica, He Meiyue, Dean of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Cai Ingwen, Vice Dean of the Executive Yuan, and his four people, with enthusiasm With a sense of mission, the regulations will be drafted within a week. I ask the "Chairman of the Legislative Yuan" Wang Jinping to propose that "more than 100 legislators co-signed in one morning and three weeks passed." The "Yuchang case" had an impact on the general election that year. After the general election, the special investigation team investigated all crimes, and Tsai Ing-wen was also innocent. However, this incident still has an impact on the development of Taiwan's biotechnology industry.
In the 2016 general election, the biotechnology industry was still an important item of Tsai Ing-wen’s “Five Innovative R&D Programs”. When Tsai Ing-wen was drafting policies, Chen Jianren served as a consultant to help plan the blueprint for the development of the biotechnology industry. It can be seen that Tsai Ing-wen's trust in Chen. On the whole, Chen Jianren has excellent working ability, is good at coping with crises, and has a wealth of education, enough to implement Tsai Ing-wen’s industrial policies. In addition, in the layout of the election campaign, Chen Jianren, who was born in Qishan, Kaohsiung, can balance Tsai Ing-wen’s urban temperament. In addition, Chen Jianren has long-term contacts with green campers and interacts very well with Tsai Ing-wen’s core staff. Within the DPP, Chen Jianren has qualified. It is also considered that it will not affect the formation of future succession echelons within the party, and thus becomes the best candidate.
The most unexpected consequence of "cultural construction and distribution" is not politics, but economics: Chen Jianren's expertise lies in biotechnology, and he has directly pointed out that Taiwan's emerging and forward-looking industry is the biotechnology and medical industry. Therefore, inspired by this, the biomedical group index of "Chen Jianren Concept Stocks" rose by more than 2% on the 16th. People in the industry predict that if the combination of Tsai Ing-wen and Chen Jianren is successfully elected in the future, the promotion and incentives for the biotechnology industry will be blessed.
