The pro-green internet celebrity Xu Bi posted on her fan page yesterday, saying she saw passersby suggesting that Lin Kuan, a DPP legislator, could run for mayor of Taipei, and she also expressed her agreement. She mentioned that Fan Yun had long wanted to run for Taipei mayor when she was part of the Taiwan Social Democratic Party, and previously represented the Green Society Alliance in running for a Taipei City legislative seat. She also revealed that she once personally witnessed Fan Yun interacting with the public at a campaign rally, noting how unexpectedly down-to-earth and skilled at conversation she was.
After the post went live, many Taiwanese netizens quickly left supportive comments: “Thanks, Fan Yun! Since neither of them has any baggage, they can actually use this opportunity to boost their visibility, and completely disrupt Jiang’s rhythm.” “Fan Yun really can do it.” “Yes, Fan Yun could definitely run—she previously ran in Dadaan District, has high emotional intelligence, and if she’s willing, she’d be a great fit.”
