Taiwan "Nine-in-one" election ended on November 26. The opposition Kuomintang won another big victory after 2018. Among them, Chiang Wanan received more than 570,000 votes, defeating Chen Shizhong, who came in second, with a gap of 140,000 votes, and was elected mayor of Taipei.
Chiang Wanan was elected mayor of Taipei by a large margin. His parents, Chiang Xiaoyan and Huang Meilun, attended the event to thank the citizens.
Chiang Wanan promised to establish a clean and efficient government after winning the election. He said that he can't wait to realize his vision for Taipei, emphasizing that in the future he will hire people based on their talents "without distinction between blue, green and white" and hopes that everyone can prosper and benefit together in Taipei. Of course, this is just a show of force. Once you take office, there will be setbacks.
Jiang Wanan is the great-grandson of Chiang Kai-shek , Chiang Ching-kuo 's grandson, and the fourth generation descendant of the Chiang family. Jiang Wanan, 43, has a handsome appearance. He once studied in the United States. He is married and has two sons. His wife is currently pregnant with their third child. Chiang Wanan was elected mayor of Taipei, breaking Chen Shui-bian's record and becoming the youngest mayor of Taipei.
Although he was born into an extraordinary family, Jiang Wanan’s political views are very down-to-earth. Letting all Taipei citizens "work hard" is one of Chiang Wanan's political views. He proposed that in order to avoid traffic jams in Taipei City, it is necessary to strengthen co-management and co-governance with surrounding cities. Specifically, it is to strengthen the strategic depth of the "Beipei Kidao" (Taipei City, New Taipei City , Keelung City, and Taoyuan City) transportation cooperation platform. Controlling traffic congestion will cover a larger area and be more difficult, so he proposed a new idea of smart transportation that introduces technology and innovates . According to the global traffic congestion index released by GPS manufacturer TomTom in 2019 before the epidemic, Taipei ranked 58th. Jiang Wanan's proposition can be said to be a shock to Taipei people. By the way, the Kuomintang's inclusion of the mayors of the four cities in the "North-Beijing Base" this time also provided a political basis for Jiang Wanan to promote regional traffic management.
How did Jiang Wanan defeat Chen Shizhong, a popular figure in the Democratic Progressive Party? Time
Being born in a special place and being young did not actually bring much benefit to Jiang Wanan. Especially when the opponent in the election is Chen Shizhong, a popular figure next to Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party. This time he defeated Chen Shizhong by 140,000 votes. Who would have thought that polls in May also showed that his approval rate was less than half of Chen Shizhong's.
Who is Chen Shizhong? He is the head of the health department that Tsai Ing-wen relies on and is a pioneer in seeking "independence" through the epidemic. During the epidemic, when he went out to hold press conferences every day, the people on the island once lamented: Whoever doesn’t watch the news must watch Chen Shizhong. Because if you don't look at Chen Shizhong, you don't know if you can leave the house tomorrow. When the epidemic was relatively stable, Chen Shizhong was in a good mood and was doing well every day. There were even envious people in the green camp who secretly complained that he had "high achievements" and wanted to drive a wedge between Chen Shizhong and Tsai Ing-wen. The green media that bet on Chen Shizhong and are optimistic about his potential political future have touted his abilities and called him "the one who goes well with the times", which means praising "whoever goes well with Chen Shizhong will prosper". Chen Shizhong happily accepted it.
In addition to Chen Shizhong, Jiang Wanan’s opponent is also the favorite of current Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe - the current deputy mayor of Taipei City Huang Shanshan. Although Huang Shanshan's energy is not too great, she is also unambiguous in dividing the votes of the blue camp.
Jiang Wanan has always given people the impression of being "docile". In the past, the Democratic Progressive Party's wolf-like election culture was pursuing them, and in the later days, the island's Internet celebrity Ke Wenzhe was blocking it with the blessing of his beloved general. What ability could the little sheep have to resist? This was the common perception among the outside world when he was nominated by the Kuomintang to run for mayor of Taipei in May.
Perhaps the handsome appearance and harmless character are intertwined with the mystery brought by his family. The undercurrent caused by complex factors makes onlookers more and more confused. Jiang Wanan has experienced constant turmoil along the way, but he can always turn danger into good fortune. For example, in September, the island's well-known mouthpiece Zhou Yukou pursued Jiang Wanan's life experience, and even brought up the scandal of his father Jiang Xiaoyan, causing the scandal heroine to file a lawsuit against Zhou Yukou at the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office, and Zhou Yukou finally had to bend down and apologize.It may be difficult to tell how many people's fame and fortune this farce has disturbed, but Zhou Yukou obviously wanted to please Chen Shizhong and sent him bullets, but the gun went off and Chen Shizhong wanted to cut him off in the end.
In novels and movies, it seems that it is not difficult to kill someone with a hundred steps, but the reality is that when a bullet is shot out of the gun barrel, you don't know who it will hit. In particular, Zhou Yukou often invited Jiang Wanan, a young star, to appear on his own show, and was insinuated by the media that he was eating Jiang Wanan's tofu. But at that time, Zhou Yukou not only laughed at such rumors, but even deliberately posted a photo of her sitting side by side with Jiang Wanan on her social media homepage in order to boost her popularity. Little did he know that at this moment and at that moment, the wind and water were turning in turns that were really dizzying. After kneeling down and licking Chen Shizhong, Zhou Yukou gained a reputation as a "media cancer".
In fact, Jiang Wanan's "docility" is not a protective color. On cross-strait issues that have been highly hyped by the green camp, Jiang Wanan's "soft and soft" attitude is unacceptable political language. Originally, they were just vying for the position of mayor of Taipei. Even if they were elected, they would not have any say in cross-strait relations, so why would they want to get into the fire pit set by the DPP and cause trouble? The days are long, no matter where you sit, it won’t be too late to say anything.
So soft, perhaps it is the source of Jiang Wanan’s political energy.
However, Jiang Wanan has shown toughness and toughness in preventing the epidemic. When the epidemic broke out again on the island in May, when Chen Shizhong's pig teammates shouted " Wanhua epidemic break" and angered the people of Wanhua District, Taipei City, Jiang Wanan decisively increased the frequency of direct visits to the grassroots, and even went into the community to distribute rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. When the people of Taipei looked at the healing "little puppy" face, Jiang Wanan's warm speech seemed warmer.
This kind of political language is not possessed by the DPP, which rushes into battle and frequently politicizes everything. No matter how many press conferences Chen Shizhong holds and how many TV and mobile phone screens he occupies, he will only become more annoying and even infuriating.
As expected, I saw Chen Shizhong building a tall building and also saw Chen Shizhong's building collapse. In fact, in the later stages, everyone in the Democratic Progressive Party knew that Chen Shizhong was no longer able to support him, but for the sake of Tsai Ing-wen's face, they could only mobilize the entire party to build momentum for him.
Wen Tun Tun is a philosophy that all Chinese people understand. We can also elegantly call it - moderation.
Chen Shizhong is going against the times. Why does "going with the times" eventually become "going against the times"?
lost 140,000 votes to Jiang Wanan. Chen Shizhong probably didn’t expect that he lost because of his too strong momentum.
First, Chen Shizhong and Tsai Ing-wen are deeply bound, and they both prosper and suffer. Needless to say, Chen Shizhong’s benefactor is Tsai Ing-wen. Without Tsai Ing-wen’s blessing, Chen Shizhong would not have become famous. However, historical experience proves that politicians who are deeply bound to Tsai Ing-wen usually do not end well. Tsai Ing-wen can use time to seize the opportunity to make a comeback, but the people she partners with not only do not have such opportunities, but will become a stepping stone for Tsai Ing-wen to make a comeback. It is absolutely unambiguous to kick them away when they are useless.
Chen Shizhong is just the latest person to hold Tsai Ing-wen’s “number plate”.
Tsai Ing-wen was not ambiguous. She took the "number plate" handed over by Chen Shizhong and supported him many times. At most, she put down her work three times in a week to build momentum for Chen Shizhong. But the more she encouraged him, the more discouraged Chen Shizhong's approval rating became. The island's media even labeled Tsai Ing-wen as "election poison." Tsai Ing-wen resigned in disgrace on the evening of the 26th after seeing the DPP's defeat. Chen Shizhong also had a share of the credit for this.
The second reason is that Chen Shizhong hid his filth and took the initiative to create a "nursery" for DPP dignitaries. In early September, the address book of Chen Shizhong's campaign team was exposed, which contained a large number of children of powerful figures in the Democratic Progressive Party. The people on the island exclaimed that this is not the family background that elected the mayor of Taipei. This is clearly the "second-generation political coalition" of the Democratic Progressive Party.What is even more sour is that Chen Shizhong is obviously an Internet celebrity, but the DPP has set up a big platform for him as the "second generation of politics". Even former Democratic Progressive Party member Shen Fuxiong shook his head and sighed: There is no hope! This is not where Chen Shizhong is electing the mayor. He is clearly regarded as a training ground for the "second generation" of the Democratic Progressive Party. In other words, the DPP dignitaries regard Chen Shizhong as the director of a "nursery school," and Chen Shizhong also uses the "second-generation politicians" in these "nursery centers" to please the party dignitaries without any bottom line.
However, the giant babies in these "nurseries" have no experience and are seriously out of touch. Everyone is a time bomb for Chen Shizhong. Does Chen Shizhong know the pros and cons of this? It's just that he seems to be beautiful, but he has no ability to say no. He can only watch a road that once seemed bright become darker and darker driven by his own desire.
Thirdly, perhaps because he raised a bunch of giant babies from DPP dignitaries as masters, Chen Shizhong’s campaign ads are also eye-catching. For example, one video said that if he takes over the Taipei City Government in the future, he will give priority to replacing all 7,200 toilets in the 3,673 public toilets within his jurisdiction with disposable toilets (i.e. washlet ). Disinfecting alcohol and seat paper will also be provided in the toilets, becoming the "three treasures of public toilets", and so on. Compared with Jiang Wanan’s political views on smart transportation, this is a different view. The picture of this advertisement is as follows, I won’t say much, you can judge for yourself. The smell almost spills out of the screen.
Kuomintang Taipei City Councilor Wang Hongwei asked: Peeping in the toilet is a psychological shadow for many people. Is it necessary to treat disgusting as fun? As a result, within 24 hours, Chen Shizhong had to remove the video and apologize.
Isn’t the Democratic Progressive Party the best at propaganda? This is clearly a piece of propaganda that can tell the problem at a glance. Why did it overturn this time? The answer may only be known to Chen Shizhong and the giant babies raised in his "nursery".
Even the most basic issues were overturned. After all, Chen Shizhong made the wrong payment again and again.
Finally, let’s look at a screenshot of Chen Shizhong’s political propaganda video
