"Sister Zhuzhu" is here
Former Kuomintang Chairman Hong Xiuzhu ran for the Tainan District 6 Democratic Representative. On the 27th, he broke into the Green Camp Quiren Vegetable Market to appeal to the grassroots for votes.
"Sister Zhu Zhu is here!" People at the scene rushed to tell each other enthusiastically. This reaction was even more enthusiastic than the "Sister Zhu Zhu" campaign team expected - Hong Xiuzhu had always been mentally prepared for coming to Tainan to fight a hard-fought campaign.
Hong Xiuzhu's "Southern Expedition" Tainan City District 6, she is challenging the current Democratic Progressive Party representative Wang Dingyu. Tainan's 6th District was originally a "green and juicy" constituency with bright political colors. Wang Dingyu once won three-quarters of the votes in this district, the highest number in Taiwan.
Hong Xiuzhu showed the affinity accumulated during the 8th generation of the Republic of China at the Quy Nhon market. She bent down to chat with many mothers-in-law. She said that the more difficult the election situation is in an area, the harder it is to overcome it.
The people at the scene shouted "Come on" and rushed to shake hands with Hong Xiuzhu, happily accepting the influx of "torrent".
Encountered Huang Weizhe by chance
When Hong Xiuzhu attended a parent-child event in Tainan, he also happened to meet Huang Weizhe, an old colleague of Taiwan’s legislative body, the current mayor of Tainan City and the chairman of the Tainan campaign headquarters of Tsai Ing-wen, the 2020 Democratic Progressive Party candidate.
According to Taiwanese media reports, at that time, Hong Xiuzhu was interacting with people at the scene taking photos and shaking hands, and did not want Huang Weizhe to suddenly appear at the venue. It turned out that Huang Weizhe was participating in an event at the venue next door, and he obviously did not expect this chance encounter.
Hong Xiuzhu and Huang Weizhe, who belong to different camps of blue and green, suddenly met. The two put aside the opposition between blue and green, laughed and hugged, and even said "come on" to each other. Perhaps because they were old acquaintances and had accumulated friendships in Taiwan's legislative body in the past, their interactions did not smell like smoke, but instead seemed like "old friends meeting each other and cherishing each other."
Hong Xiuzhu later told the media:
Although the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party each support their own election, they are not enemies in private. Since the other party is cheering him on, he also wishes Huang Weizhe a happy and competent job as mayor.
"Respect each other as ice"?
Compared with the "cute picture" of Hong Xiuzhu and Huang Weizhe in the same frame, Tsai Ing-wen and Ke Wenzhe showed "respect for each other as ice" when they attended the same event, which was widely reported by Taiwanese media.
Ke Wenzhe accepted a joint interview with the media before the event. When asked what he wanted to say on the same stage as Tsai Ing-wen, he admitted that there was no chance to speak in this kind of public place. Everyone went up and read out their own manuscripts and it was over. , "Everyone is just polite."
But Ke Wenzhe himself is not willing to "behave politely". When Tsai Ing-wen arrived, she shook hands with Ke Wenzhe politely and then sat down, without any conversation between the two parties. When the host announced Tsai Ing-wen to take the stage to give a speech, Ke Wenzhe kept looking left and right on the stage and adjusting his clothes. Later, it was even more so, "I'll read my draft of my speech to you." He didn't care about Tsai Ing-wen to the point of being rude.
Taiwanese media even observed that the handshake during the meeting was the only interaction between Tsai Ing-wen and Ke Wenzhe during the entire event; although the two were seated next to each other, they did not even make eye contact during the entire process, and they treated each other as if they were nothing!
"Respect each other like ice", this "ice" is frozen ice. The relationship between white and green seems to be very tense.
The event was held on the 27th, and people from different camps met. Comparing the two sides, Tsai Ing-wen, as the leader of Taiwan, is not as "high" as her subordinate Huang Weizhe.
However, this is not surprising. In the countdown to the 2020 general election, the Democratic Progressive Party is trying to secure a majority of seats in Taiwan’s legislative body, facing a double attack from the Kuomintang and the Taiwan People’s Party. DPP insiders pointed out that the DPP’s party support has lagged behind the KMT in recent months, and its supporters overlap with the Taiwan People’s Party. It is understood that the DPP has recently actively reminded voters on various occasions to gather their votes and vote for the DPP as a political party.
After all, the DPP still wants votes.
