Since Jiang Dongcheng acted as mayor of Yuli Township and Mayor of Fuli Township, the former position was the executive director of Legislative Yuan Fu Kunqu’s Hualien Service Office. People from all walks of life also expected that Jiang’s election as township mayor would receive full support from Fu Kunqu; Minister Wang Guocai and Director of Taiwan Railways Du Wei went to Hualien to inspect the transportation construction. The last stop also specially arranged to Fuli Township to "send policy beef", announcing the post-disaster repair of Liushishishan Agricultural Road, and the Government Council approved more than 89 million yuan.

In addition, because Taiwan Railways will implement major changes on April 26, the Ministry of Communications also announced at Fuli Township yesterday that Fuli Station will add 428 stops, 423 two-row self-improvement lines, and 407 times will be changed to EMU3000, which can shorten 80 minutes driving time.

"Coincidentally", on the 11th of this month, two days before the Election Committee of Hua County announced the by-election registration and voting schedule for Fuli Township Mayor's vacancy, Jiang Dongcheng suddenly mobilized the villagers to submit a love letter to the Taiwan Railway at Fuli Station, hoping that The Taipei-Fuli route was stopped by the Taiwan Railway, and "just a week later" Fu arranged for the Minister of Transportation to announce the news.

The local people laughed and said that the traces of chiseling are obvious, but no matter what, as long as Fuli Township makes progress, it will be a good thing for the villagers.

The by-election for the vacancy of Fuli Township Mayor in Hualien was caused by the nine-in-one election of local government officials last year. Zhang Rongrong, who was elected as Township Mayor, did not come to take office, resulting in a vacancy for Township Mayor. According to legal procedures, Zhang Rongrong was notified twice to take the oath of office in Fuli Township. Since Zhang Rongrong did not show up, the Hualien County Election Committee also announced on the 13th of this month that there would be a by-election for Fuli Township Mayor. It is from the 24th to the 26th, and the voting will be conducted on June 18.
