Zheng Liwen's inauguration ceremony, the mayors of Taichung Lu Xiuyan, New Taipei City Hou Youyi, and Taoyuan City Zhang Shanzheng did not attend. Zhao Shaokang was低头滑手机 and did not clap! On November 1st, Zheng Liwen officially assumed the position of chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT). At this important ceremony, all previous KMT chairmen attended. The attendees included Ma Ying-jeou, Wu Dunyi, Hung Hsiu-chu, Jiang Qiren, as well as the head of the Taiwan Legislative Yuan, Ko Wen-je, among others.
However, it is strange that several important county mayors of the KMT did not attend. This includes Lu Xiuyan, whom Zhu Lilun called the "common master," as well as Hou Youyi and Zhang Shanzheng, who publicly expressed support for Hao Longbin. To be honest, the absence of these important county mayors is hard to explain. Local media stated that it was due to their official duties, but everyone knows that today is Saturday, not a workday.
It is likely that the absence of these individuals has their own agendas. Lu Xiuyan has always maintained a kind attitude. Although the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is now heavily criticizing Lu Xiuyan over the pig disease issue, Lu Xiuyan, who avoids offending people, should have had time to attend. However, Hou Youyi and Zhang Shanzheng not attending probably means they simply did not want to participate. Even Zhao Shaokang, who attended, showed a cold attitude at the scene, and was photographed using his phone. Obviously, this scene may indicate that after Zheng Liwen took office, uniting various forces within the KMT will face considerable challenges, and Zheng Liwen's work will not be easy.
