Story Text

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator and Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Po-yang recently visited Fengshan, Kaohsiung, to support DPP legislator Lai Jui-long, who is running for Kaohsiung mayor. Shen began by stating his Taiwanese was 'not fluent,' and although he continued speaking in Mandarin, he twice mistakenly referred to 'Committee Member Jui-long' as 'Committee Member Jui-hsiung.' When asked about the incident today (20), Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an said he believed a few slips of the tongue were 'no big deal' and not problematic. Chiang also mentioned that yesterday he had already responded, emphasizing that a city's progress cannot be measured merely by concerts, but by real-life issues: whether young people can find good jobs, whether elderly parents can keep their children nearby, and whether local businesses are thriving. 'Progress isn't just about concerts—it's about people's daily lives. I believe legislator Ke Chih-en will deliver in this regard,' he said. When asked if his Taiwanese had improved during this southern trip to Kaohsiung, Chiang revealed that his Taiwanese was entirely taught by his wife. He added that the most important thing was to fully support legislator Ke Chih-en, urging all locals to show their support and visit Liuhe Night Market to experience local cuisine and interact warmly with enthusiastic vendors, which he said brought him great joy.
