[Reporter Huang Meizhu/Hsinchu Report] The square in front of the Hsinchu County Government held "Jiafu 55 Happy Dancing ~ 2022 Winter Nuanci Kindergarten Fair". Hundreds of different types of caring stalls including snacks, drinks, children's toys and stationery are available for visitors to hunt for treasures. A total of 575 households in Greater Hsinchu, 1913 members of economically disadvantaged families, or abused and fostered children all come here to have fun.

Yang Wenke, the magistrate of Hsinchu County, who took leave to run for election, took time off to present a certificate of appreciation to thank the benevolent enterprises and groups that support these disadvantaged families and people. Zhou Jiangjie, candidate for Hsinchu County Mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, and Lin Gengren, candidate for Hsinchu Mayor of the KMT Greetings were present.

Among them, Liu Kangyi, a retired teacher from Xinpu Junior High School who unfortunately passed away last year, has supported the garden fair for more than 10 years and donated bicycles for love. Representative Liu Wanlin accepted.

Liu Wanlin said that his father was from a poor family in his early years, but when he grew up, his financial situation allowed him to donate 10% of his salary every year and set up a foundation to help disadvantaged children.

Although he passed away last year, before he passed away, he still cared about the children supported by his family in Hsinchu. Therefore, as children, they passed on their father's love to their sons and continued to help disadvantaged students to learn.

Yang Wenke said that although Hsinchu County's household income, disposable income and consumption expenditure indicators are among the best in the country, there are still many vulnerable families.

How to narrow the gap between rich and poor and help disadvantaged families is the focus of his administration.

The county government has provided free nutritious lunches for primary and middle school students for a long time, as well as loving breakfasts for schoolchildren from disadvantaged families.

In October this year, the first "Comprehensive Social Welfare Center" in Hsinchu County was also built. After opening next year, it will integrate internal and external resources for infants, children, families, and communities to provide services.

At the same time, the county social office also implements a plan to strengthen the social safety net, actively increasing the number of protective social workers such as child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault, and completes the process of handling various types of protection cases. In the crisis of domestic violence against children, protect the safety of women and children.
