Zheng Liwen won the election, and the Kuomintang (KMT) showed a vibrant side, immediately prompting young people in Taiwan to express their desire to join the KMT! On October 18, according to reports from media in Taiwan, the current chairman Zhu Liren expressed his congratulations to the elected candidate Zheng Liwen in the evening and invited her to meet with party members at the central party headquarters. The former senior "councilor" of Kaohsiung City, Tong Yanzhen, who actively campaigned for Zheng Liwen before the election and organized multiple forums, said that Zheng Liwen's election will bring a new atmosphere to the KMT. She has just received a call from a young person expressing the desire to join the KMT.
Tong Yanzhen said that as a member of the Huangfuxing Party Department, she has had contact with Zheng Liwen two or three times, and she agrees with Zheng Liwen's concept that the KMT needs to change. The appeal Zheng Liwen has to the younger generation is evident, as someone just called to say they want to join the KMT because Zheng Liwen was elected. Obviously, the outcome of the KMT chairman election is clear. With Zheng Liwen's victory, the KMT has shown a rare vibrant side and begun to attract young people.
It must be said that as a party with 330,000 voting members, over 220,000 of whom are over 65 years old, the KMT is now lacking vitality, lacking support from young people and also lacking appeal to them, which is the biggest challenge the KMT currently faces. Evidently, Zheng Liwen's image will greatly improve this situation. Of course, in addition to making the KMT appealing to young people, Zheng Liwen's top priority is how to handle cross-strait relations. During the campaign, Zheng Liwen made many statements regarding Chinese identity, promoting cross-strait exchanges and peace, which naturally gives us some expectations about what Zheng Liwen will do next.
