According to Taiwan media reports, Lin Zhijian, a candidate for the Taoyuan mayor of the DPP, accepted an exclusive interview with the TV program, and talked about the feelings of running for Taoyuan mayor and the paper storm for the first time for his family. He said this period was quite painful for the family.
Lin Zhijian said that during this period, I think it is a great torment for my family, especially his father and mother are in their seventies, especially her mother who is more likely to be anxious. She can feel her anxiety these days, and she always choked up and even cried after a few words. Of course, her mother hopes that he will not work so hard, and she is also very sad. Suddenly, her son is like a villain, as if he has done a lot of wrong things. There are many criticisms from the media every day, and it is understandable that his parents cannot help but feel reluctant to part with him. He comforted them, "Just don't look at it." My mother also complained that she could not go hiking or buying vegetables now, because relatives and friends always care and ask, and have different opinions, and she would feel very anxious.
Speaking of the three children, Lin Zhijian said that when he was videotaping with them at night, the child often asked "When will the father come back?" because he left the position of mayor of Hsinchu and left the municipal government dormitory where he used to live. Therefore, his wife moved to a new place with the three children. The child always looked forward to his father coming back and sharing the details of the new environment, but he was unable to participate in the child's life during this period.
Lin Zhijian said that on the 10th, he took the time to go home after attending the Chinese University Ethics Conference. The child learned that he might not be able to stay at home that night. The child said that he asked him to "don't choose the mayor of Taoyuan", which made him feel sad and reluctant to leave him. His wife has always been a strong person. He came to Taoyuan to run for the election, while his wife was busy with three children. On the day of the Taiwan University Ethnic Society review, she passed a picture of her fainting, which means "she cared and worried in her heart." She rarely responded like this, and he comforted her wife, "It doesn't matter, we will face it slowly. Every election is like this, and there are many issues."
