Taipei Councilor Explains Daughter's Early Community Service Involvement

Taipei City Councilor Ying Hsiao-wei has clarified the origins of her statement that her daughter, Ying Chia-yu, has been "working hard for the local community since the age of 8." The explanation comes as Ying Chia-yu is running for a city council seat in the Zhongzheng and Wanhua district, a campaign her mother is actively supporting.

Ying Hsiao-wei shared on Facebook that when her daughter was eight years old, she participated in organizing a large-scale event for elderly and low-income residents. During this event, which featured 400 tables and included a lottery, the young Ying Chia-yu assisted with tasks such as pushing wheelchairs and cleaning the venue. She also appeared on stage with a guide dog to promote animal welfare.
