Recently, when people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait focused on a series of events caused by the outbreak of pelosi , the election activities of the mayor of Taipei City have already been in full swing.
It can be seen that there are currently three candidates that are very fierce in competition.
They are formerly the director of the Welfare Department Chen Shizhong , Taipei City Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan , and the Kuomintang’s public opinion representative Jiang Wanan .
According to current street polls, Jiang Wanan has a slightly ahead of the votes.
The people's impression of him is mostly words such as "handsome", "young".
Of course, the most important point is that Jiang Wanan is a descendant of the Jiang family and the grandson of Jiang Ching-kuo .
In fact, with the halo of "the fourth generation of the Jiang family", he has always had mixed reviews on the island.
He was even called "Taiwan independence" and "unworthy descendants" because of his support for Tsai Ing-wen.
So, what kind of person is Jiang Wanan? What kind of life experience does he have?
Jiang Wan'an
The fourth generation descendant of the Jiang family
In 1978, Jiang Wan'an was born in Taipei. When he learned the good news, his father, Jiang Xiaoyan was extremely excited.
, and as grandfather, , Jiang Ching-kuo, , is also rare to be happy.
In view of some reasons that cannot be explained explicitly, a few days later, Jiang Jingguo asked his subordinates to visit him secretly and brought the name "Wan'an" that he personally gave his grandson.
The meaning of this is that he hopes that he will not forget where he comes from and nor will he forget the hard years his father has experienced.
Because Jiang Xiaoyan's identity has never been recognized, Jiang Wanan, when he was a child, had no idea of his identity at all and only thought that his surname was "Zhang".
Later, when Jiang Wanan was in elementary school, a teacher secretly told him: "You should actually be surnamed Jiang, your grandfather is Jiang Jingguo!"
was suddenly revealed such a shocking secret, and Jiang Wanan was still a little confused for a moment.
After all, no one in the family has mentioned this since his birth. If he asked him to openly verify this, he would inevitably be criticized.
Jiang Wanan
Afterwards, Jiang Wanan's curiosity has also increased day by day.
I went back to the library to find information, and he accidentally found a book describing the story between Chiang Ching-kuo and Chapter Yaruo . After carefully reading
, Jiang Wanan suddenly realized that is not all about the life experiences of his father and uncle?
At this time, he was temporarily sure that he was a descendant of the legendary Jiang family.
Jiang Wanan suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he went to his classmate's house to play and saw an old lady with outstanding temperament.
At that time, many people pushed him over to say hello. After getting closer, the old lady touched his head.
Looking back, that person should be Song Mei-ling .
Jiang Wanan has always kept these secrets in his heart and rarely said them.
Until after entering high school, his father Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly called the siblings and sisters over with a serious expression and informed them of their life experience.
Jiang Wanan finally confirmed, but he was no longer surprised at that time.
Since then, they have changed back to the surname "Jiang", and the family no longer deliberately avoided this topic.
Jiang Xiaoyan
After graduating from high school, Jiang Wanan was admitted to Taiwan University of Political Science and Technology , and then went to University of Pennsylvania to study for a master's degree.
With his intelligent mind, he achieved his goal in just one and a half years. After
, Jiang Wanan took another three years to get a Ph.D. in Law.
In 2007, at the age of 29, he became a lawyer and joined the largest law firm in Silicon Valley .
In the following years, Jiang Wanan was doing well in the legal profession.
not only helped ebay enter the Asian market, but also acquired Gmarket, the largest comprehensive shopping website in South Korea.
You should know that Gmarket's annual turnover alone has reached 4.7 trillion won. After five years of employment, Jiang Wanan joined hands with several like-minded friends to establish an international law firm in San Francisco .
At that time, there were countless new companies in Silicon Valley and very competitive, but Jiang Wanan's firm was able to occupy a place in it and achieved very good results.
Jiang Wan'an
In 2013, with the firm having a lot of Asian customers, Jiang Wan'an decided to return to Taiwan and set up a Taipei office here after careful consideration.
In addition to this, he also wants to spend more time taking care of his elderly parents.
Jiang Wanan's sudden return caused a huge response on the island of Taiwan.
, and everyone never expected that , since then, he will go further and further on the road of politics.
The highly anticipated star of tomorrow
You should know that in the year when Jiang Wanan was born, his grandfather Jiang Ching-kuo happened to be the leader of Taiwan. After he took power, he has been deliberately cultivating his successor.
It’s a pity that no few children are worry-free.
Originally, Jiang Jingguo was preparing to focus on cultivating Jiang Xiaowu , but as a result, he had too many personal scandals and the impact was very bad. After
, because of the controversial " Jiangnan case ", Jiang Ching-kuo had no choice but to send Jiang Xiaowu to Singapore , and then told the outside world: Jiang's family cannot and will not participate in the election in the future.
Jiang Jingguo
At that time, the outside world felt that the Jiang family would withdraw from the stage of history from then on, , but in fact, Jiang Xiaoyan, who is also the son of Jiang Jingguo, has been wandering in the political circle.
With his influence, Jiang Wanan in the early days also had a certain understanding of politics.
Whenever Jiang Xiaoyan is preparing to run for the "Taiwanese Public Opinion Representative", Jiang Wanan will help behind his back and take the whole family to the voters' homes to promote.
It is understood that he was often seen by hawkers in the vegetable market at that time.
In 2011, Jiang Xiaoyan, who had been promoted to vice chairman of the Kuomintang, competed with Luo Shulei and as the position of representative of the Kuomintang's public opinion.
As a result, he lost by a slight gap.
It seems that from that time on, Jiang Xiaoyan slowly faded out of politics, and as his son, Jiang Wanan began to "accompany his father's business."
The second year after returning from the United States, he participated in the election of the public opinion representatives in the third constituency of Taipei City and became an opponent of Luo Shulei again.
As a fledgling newcomer, Jiang Wanan was not afraid. He said that he represented a new force and actively called on more young people to stand up.
. In order to gain more support, he began to take the people-friendly route, actively underground to the grassroots level, and drive a taxi to get close to voters.
Maybe it is because of his sincere attitude, maybe it is because of his excellent appearance, or maybe it is because of his halo of "descendants of the Jiang family".
After two rounds of competition, Jiang Wanan won the position of representatives of public opinion.
This campaign made him famous and became a rising star of tomorrow with infinite possibilities in the eyes of everyone.
At that time, many people were also curious that other descendants of the Jiang family tried their best to avoid joining the political circle. How would Jiang Wanan show his strength in the political arena?
In fact, since working as a representative of public opinion for several years, Jiang Wanan's weaknesses have also been exposed a lot.
His personality is relatively reserved, his expression ability is poor, and his performance is relatively tepid.
. In public, Jiang Wanan rarely mentions his relationship with the Jiang family, which also makes many Deep Blue wait-and-see attitude towards him.
In 2019, Jiang Wanan made another incredible move, and he publicly supported Tsai Ing-wen on the show.
At that time, Tsai Ing-wen proposed the "four musts" and firmly refused to recognize "
This is obviously unfriendly to the mainland, so when the show was broadcast, Jiang Wanan's social media was attacked and abused by a large number of netizens.
Someone asked him in a questioning tone: "Do your grandfather know if you do this?" Some people scolded him for "Taiwan independence", while others commented fiercely on his " unworthy descendants, which shamed the Jiang family "!
Jiang Wanan, who could not resist the outside public opinion, quickly came out to speak out the next day, saying that the "1992 Consensus" is the foundation of cross-strait exchanges, and he could not accept Tsai Ing-wen's statement.
After this storm passed, in In 2020, Jiang Wanan became the most popular candidate among the mayor candidates in Taipei City.
However, given that he had just become the first public opinion representative, Jiang Wanan still said that he would not participate in the election and gave the opportunity to others.
In the next two years, he still maintained his previous style of conduct, slowly accumulating experience and increasing his qualifications.
Because of this, Jiang Wanan's polls in Taipei have always been at the forefront.
campaign for Taipei mayor turmoil
In January 2022, it was revealed that Jiang Wanan will run for Taipei mayor. At that time, he did not come out to admit it.
A few months later, he started a "verbalance" with "Taiwan independence" Su Zhenchang over the power outage on the island.
Jiang Wanan asked him to make a clear promise, whether such a situation will not happen on the island in the future.
Su Zhenchang's anger was rising when questioned, and he directly changed the topic and began to criticize Jiang Wanan's father and ancestors.
Su Zhenchang's rogue behavior has caused huge controversy on the island. Many netizens called him arrogant and never really considered the people on the island. They only knew how to fabricate reasons to deceive everyone.
Some netizens even denounced Su Zhenchang for thinking about the evil things his ancestors did when attacking other people’s ancestors?
Those who are familiar with the history of
At that time, many aspiring people stood up to resist, but Su Zhenchang's grandfather was surrendering to the Japanese and committed numerous crimes.
Now, Su Zhenchang has become a "Taiwan independence element" again. He is determined to fight the mainland to the end.
In fact, in addition to debating with Su Zhenchang, in order to win votes for himself, Jiang Wanan often focused on criticizing the DPP.
However, when facing a China issue, he always avoids talking about it.
Not long ago, American politician Pelosi went to Taiwan, and the mainland suspended the supply of a number of fresh food to Taiwan. Soon after, the People's Liberation Army launched a series of military exercises.
Jiang Wanan actually changed his previous style and directly called for the mainland to stop.
When Pelosi returned to the United States and changed his attitude and publicly emphasized adhering to the "one-China principle", Jiang Wanan also expressed his hope that the necessary space for dialogue between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can maintain.
It is still an unknown number of candidates for Taipei mayors, , but no matter what, adhering to one-China principle is the right way!
