To better connect with new followers, Keelung mayoral candidate Tung Tzu-wei is releasing a 10-part manga series about his life. The initiative follows a period of increased online attention in March 2026, when his Threads account's viewership exceeded 5 million, after appearances with national political figures. The serialized comic covers his childhood, education, and political career, including his time as a city councilor and speaker. The first installment details his upbringing at Keelung's Qing'an Temple and the lessons in etiquette he learned from his family, particularly his grandfather, Tung Yung-hui. The series' cover art features local Keelung landmarks and food, aiming to create a sense of local identity.
