(Central News Agency reporter Hao Hsueh-ching, Taichung 13th) After Kuomintang Chairman Cheng Li-wen met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, China proposed 10 policies benefiting Taiwan. Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen today suggested that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government bravely respond to mainland China's good will, foster good relations with neighbors, ensure Taiwan's safety, and achieve cross-strait peace.
Lu Shiow-yen attended the groundbreaking and blessing ceremony for Dongguang Road in Beitun District today. She repeatedly mentioned the famous saying of Wu Sha, a pioneer in Taiwan's development, "If the roads are open, descendants will succeed." After the event, when she was interviewed by the media and asked about China's 10 beneficial policies for Taiwan, she again cited Wu Sha's famous saying in response.
Lu Shiow-yen stated that Wu Sha's "If the roads are open, descendants will succeed" does not only refer to transportation. Being kind to people and friendly to neighbors can also bring regional peace and harmony, ensuring Taiwan's safety.
Lu Shiow-yen believes that in the past 10 years, cross-strait relations have become increasingly tense. To achieve "If the roads are open, descendants will succeed" and seek Taiwan's safety, everyone should bravely suggest that the DPP government "courageously respond to mainland China's good will." After all, the one who tied the bell must untie it. She hopes that the DPP government will not only tie the bell but also untie it, be friendly with neighbors, allow Taiwan to be safe, and bring peace across the Taiwan Strait.
When asked about the government's plan to introduce Indian migrant workers, Lu Shiow-yen pointed out that any policy must be discussed with the people and respect public opinion. Taiwan has a labor shortage problem, and how to solve it. Regarding the migrant worker policy, since the public has opinions, she suggested that the government listen to the public's opinions before making corresponding decisions.
In addition, mentioning her participation in the Baishatun Mazu procession last night, Lu Shiow-yen said that the Mazu temples in central Taiwan are all very efficacious, including the Baishatun Mazu Temple. For many years, she has visited them to worship. Especially, the Baishatun Mazu's annual departure time, like Dajia Jenn Lann Temple, is always late at night. Last night, many county mayors, city councilors, and village chief candidates also attended. Mazu is compassionate and will surely bless everyone who shows sincerity to be elected and have their wishes come true. (Editor: Chang Ming-kun) 1150413
