New Taipei Candidate Lee Shih-chuan Releases Ad Highlighting Engineering Dedication

New Taipei City mayoral candidate Lee Shih-chuan has launched a new social media campaign advertisement that underscores his identity as an engineer, focusing on his commitment to practical, often unnoticed, urban infrastructure improvements. The ad, themed around Lee's walking through city streets, emphasizes his dedication to essential services such as "flat roads, bright lights, and functional drainage systems."

Through a voiceover, Lee states, "These things, when done well, may not attract attention. Engineers, it's said, are not for the spotlight." This narrative positions him as a diligent public servant focused on tangible results rather than public accolades. The advertisement highlights his past role as Vice Mayor of Taipei, where he was involved in the complex process of activating the Taipei Dome and securing the relocation of Nvidia into the city's technology park.

The campaign material aims to resonate with voters by showcasing Lee's problem-solving approach, particularly his experience navigating challenging projects. "What these things taught me is not that I am capable," Lee narrates, "but that I understand where a city can get stuck. I've walked through it all." He asserts his readiness to lead New Taipei, stating, "New Taipei's next road, I know how to pave it. Some choose to complain, I choose to open the way."

The advertisement seeks to build resonance with voters and supporters by highlighting Lee's engineering "no applause" characteristic. It contrasts his approach with others who might complain about urban issues, positioning himself as a proactive leader ready to implement solutions for the city's future development, particularly in the context of the AI era.
