Taiwan's "Card God" Yang Hui-ru publicly posted on the 30th, directly targeting Shen Boyang's financial status and spending habits. She asked: "Dear parents, if someone only has 180,000 in savings but still takes out a 2-million-loan, then spends hundreds of thousands annually on in-game purchases for mobile games—would you vote for them as mayor? And now he’s asking you to donate money for his election!"
After the post went public, it quickly sparked widespread discussion. Yang Hui-ru further engaged directly with netizens in the comment section, openly urging Shen Boyang to clarify his financial flows. She questioned how Shen Boyang, as an at-large legislator earning a monthly salary of 200,000 NT dollars, could afford to spend hundreds of thousands on gaming items after paying half his salary to the party and taxes, not to mention buying a new Tesla.
When some netizens told Yang Hui-ru that the green camp truly needs more people like her—rational voices—or else they’ll drift further away from center voters, she admitted many people already know the truth but fear retaliation and thus stay silent. She bluntly stated she simply dislikes individuals whose public image contradicts their behavior and who continuously profit by deceiving sincere supporters. She even sarcastically remarked about private donations: “How much are they collecting? Hehehe,” warning the public not to blindly contribute political funds.
According to reports, Shen Boyang once discussed gaming during a live broadcast program titled *Snack Time Extra* with fellow legislators Huang Jie and Wu Pei-yi at the end of 2024. At the time, Huang Jie revealed that Shen Boyang was a dedicated "pay-to-win" gamer, which led to severe scolding from his wife, Tseng Xin-hui.
Shen Boyang said upon returning home, he felt utterly devastated when he discovered his phone bill had been opened and spread out on the table. Fortunately, only one month’s charges were uncovered. He disclosed that his annual spending on games reached dozens of thousands of dollars, leaving Wu Pei-yi stunned and unable to comprehend.
In response, Chan Jiang-cun sharply criticized: A 43-year-old law PhD with high education, yet his personal savings amount to only 180,000 NT dollars—clearly, he’s nothing but a reckless spendthrift without any sense of family responsibility.
Regarding Huang Shieh’s strong support for Shen Boyang and even claiming to be "Shen Boyang-like," Chan Jiang-cun sarcastically wrote: "I also want to be 'Shen Boyang-like.' Shen Boyang is so inspiring that no wonder Huang Shieh wants to be him—probably every young person in Taiwan does!"
Chan Jiang-cun couldn’t help but question: How can someone who can’t manage their own finances, even relying on U.S. subsidies to fund political activities in Taiwan, now claim to run for Taipei Mayor and promise to plan the city well? Does he really think all people in Taiwan are "doves"? (Note: "Qingniao" metaphorically refers to gullible or easily misled people.)
