Chen Zhiying Launches Joint Campaign Headquarters with Strong Support

Chen Zhiying, a candidate vying for a Taipei City Councilor seat in the Daan-Wenshan district, officially launched his joint campaign headquarters, drawing support from prominent figures including New Power Party Chairwoman Wang Wan-yu, veteran media personality Feng Guangyuan, and community leaders.

Chen Zhiying's candidacy is not because he wants to be a councilor, but because he wants to make everyone's life better and make people no longer disappointed with politics but full of expectations.

During the press conference, Wang Wan-yu expressed her belief that Chen's candidacy stems not from a desire for political office, but from a genuine aspiration to improve people's lives and restore faith in politics. Chen's campaign slogan, "For You, I Want to Be an Ox," encapsulates his pledge to work diligently and honestly at the grassroots level, representing the earnest and down-to-earth spirit of Taiwanese society.

Chen addressed several pressing issues facing Taipei, pointing to a significant 22% vacancy rate among civil servants, which he noted is expanding. He emphasized that Taipei, despite having the largest budget in Taiwan, cannot afford stagnation or to be bogged down by political squabbling. He called for more effective use and distribution of the city's budget to improve its overall condition and the working environment, thereby enhancing public services for citizens.

Community leaders also voiced their support. Chen Qinci, chairman of the Muzha Zhongshun Temple and Chen Zhiying's maternal grandfather, spoke of the strong foundation laid by his predecessor and the courage it takes for a religious institution to publicly endorse a candidate. Feng Guangyuan highlighted the importance of a "third force" in Taiwanese politics, distinct from the two major parties, and urged support for Chen's campaign under the banner of "Taiwan Forward," a new platform aiming to offer genuine service beyond mere news-making.

Taipei has no capital to be idle, nor the capital to be drowned in political rhetoric.

Hu Jiayang, president of the Taipei City 76ers Young Neighborhood Chiefs Association, praised Chen's eight years of dedicated work in Huaxing Village, stating that Chen understands the district intimately and possesses a broad vision extending to all 12 administrative districts of Taipei. Yang Wenliang, who is set to succeed Chen as the neighborhood chief of Huaxing, pledged to continue Chen's work, building on his foundation while incorporating the genuine needs and voices of the residents into future policies.

The third force should be a force that must exist in Taiwan outside of the two major parties.
