[Reporter Lin Minzhen/Taichung Report] The Democratic Progressive Party held a commemorative concert of "Democracy 36 18" in Taichung today to celebrate the 36th anniversary of the founding of the party. Taichung mayoral candidate Cai Qichang said that Taichung can no longer stand still. He will continue to walk around Taichung in the last 60 days of the election, expressing his sincere attitude to the people, and calling on Taichung citizens to support himself and the 18-year-old citizenship referendum. .

Cai Qichang said at the beginning that his throat was burning because he ran the booth from morning to night. He didn't want to imitate Su Zhenchang. He laughed and said, "The one without hair is Su Zhenchang, and the one with hair is Cai Qichang." There was laughter from the audience.

Cai Qichang said that the DPP has gone through 36 years, with successes and failures, but for the sake of democratic ideals, no matter how hard it is and how many difficulties it will encounter, as long as we work together, we will definitely overcome all difficulties.

It is not easy for the DPP to run for mayor of Taichung this time, but as long as he thinks that his predecessors have gone through 35 years, and the past has been even more difficult, he firmly believes that he must unite with everyone at the end of the year and win Taichung back.

Cai Qichang mentioned that Mayor Lu Xiuyan thought that if she hid the Kuomintang, everyone would forget which political party she was from. Her position on the CCP’s circumvention of Taiwan and cross-strait relations was unclear. Citizens have very strict standards for politicians.

Cai Qichang reiterated his political views such as the continuous subsidy for the 65-year-old's health insurance, the expansion of the use of the elderly love card, and the construction of 8,000 social housing units within 4 years. He also emphasized that he is confident that this election will win together with all activist citizens. The celebration continued to be held in Taichung, and he gathered with everyone as the mayor.
