Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Wu Yixuan hosted a "Summer Bubble Party" in New Taipei City's Wenzaiwei Wetland Park, drawing a crowd of over 300 parents and children. This event follows the success of her first "Bubble Party" on July 5th, which quickly sold out, prompting the addition of a second session to bring more joy to the Xinzhuang district's families.
Since the first 'Bubble Party' on July 5th sold out instantly, many people have been asking for another one, so I'm adding a second session to bring more joy to Xinzhuang's families.
Wu, who has a decade of experience as a legislative aide, aims to create a more family-friendly living environment in Xinzhuang. She presented her policy platform, emphasizing improvements in education. Key proposals include raising teacher salaries, promoting national language education resources, and increasing overall educational funding. These pledges have reportedly received positive support from parents and educators alike.
Beyond general education policies, Wu also highlighted her commitment to Hakka culture. As a proud Hakka descendant, she has actively engaged with Hakka community organizations, including participating in a folk song class to promote the Hakka anthem "Hakka Ben Se" and advocating for Hakka cultural resources and education. She expressed gratitude for the support from the Xinzhuang District Hakka Association and pledged to continue championing Hakka public affairs.
With my ten years of experience in the Legislative Yuan and City Council as a legislative aide, I hope to create a more family-friendly living environment in Xinzhuang.
The event also saw participation from local figures, including Zhongyuan Village Chief Huang Yongchang and former citizen representative Ye Jinliang. Wu expressed her hope to be elected to the council to further her vision for a more child-friendly city.
As a proud 'Hakka descendant,' my first event after announcing my candidacy was participating in the 'Xinzhuang Hakka Talent Association's' folk song class to promote 'Hakka Ben Se' to more people.
