[Reporter Zheng Mingxiang/Taipei Report] Chen Shizhong, a candidate for the Taipei mayoral election of the DPP, was originally scheduled to go to Songshan Elementary School this morning to attend a public welfare activity organized by party member North City Councilor Hong Jianyi, but temporarily canceled entering the school and only accepted the media outside the school gate. During the interview, Chen Shizhong said that because some parents have opinions, in order to avoid political influence on the meaning and interest of the original activity, and do not want to increase the troubles at the grassroots level, they do not enter the campus.

Hong Jianyi is currently holding a public welfare activity called "Let's Fight - Top Spinning!" at Songshan Elementary School. Chen Shizhong originally planned to participate in the activity and act as the "Great Demon King", but he temporarily canceled entering the campus and made a joint interview with the media outside the school gate. After a brief interaction with Hong Jianyi, he left.

In an interview, Chen Shizhong pointed out that this activity is interesting and meaningful. After being invited, I wanted to have fun with the children, but this morning I learned that some parents had opinions, and I always believed that political participation should not reduce the meaning and interest of the activity. Don't increase the troubles of grassroots civil servants, so do not enter the campus.

Hong Jianyi's flags on the campus also raised suspicions of violating the neutrality of campus administration. Hong Jianyi said that because he was the organizer, there was no problem with using the flag to guide the movement. As a mayoral candidate, it is not good in itself to increase the political atmosphere and interfere with activities.
