TAIPEI, Taiwan (CNA) -- DPP candidate for Nantou County Magistrate Wen Shih-cheng stated today that caring for Nantou residents is his original intention for returning to his hometown. Regarding the controversy surrounding the Mingjian incinerator, he proposed a "cocktail therapy" to address the issue effectively, aiming to protect the tea industry and solve Nantou's waste problems.
The DPP issued a press release stating that the DPP's live broadcast program "Wu Qing LIVE" has launched a new segment "Add a Guest," inviting Wen Shih-cheng to interact with netizens and discuss his policies in a relaxed manner today.
When discussing his original intention for returning to his hometown to run for office, Wen Shih-cheng said that while serving as a medical officer at the 803 Armed Forces General Hospital during his military service, he experienced the 921 earthquake. The scenes of disaster relief and rescue at the time are still unforgettable, and he still wakes up startled by memories of the tragedy, feeling a debt to Nantou and always hoping to save more people and help his hometown. During his candidacy, he had a heart-to-heart talk with President Lai Ching-te, who encouraged him to "just be yourself," further inspiring him to return to his hometown with his original intentions to care for his family and his hometown.
Regarding the controversy over the establishment of an incinerator in Mingjian Township, Wen Shih-cheng prepared a handcrafted beverage made from Mingjian tea and Puli passion fruit today, urging the county government not to turn fertile land into an incinerator.
Wen Shih-cheng stated that Mingjian Township is an important tea-producing area in Taiwan, covering an area of up to 2,200 hectares. Tens of thousands of people in Nantou rely on the tea and agricultural industries for their livelihoods, and these handcrafted beverages are Nantou's economic lifeline. Therefore, after consulting numerous experts and scholars, he proposed a comprehensive "cocktail therapy" to support Nantou's waste treatment needs, emphasizing that it is not opposition for the sake of opposition.
Wen Shih-cheng stressed that Nantou's waste problem is like a doctor's diagnosis: treating a tumor requires more than just surgery; it requires a systematic, multi-faceted approach. This includes enhancing recycling, separating kitchen waste, resource recycling, public-private cooperation, and regional cooperation. By increasing resource recovery rates and kitchen waste recycling rates, coupled with the mutual dispatch of resources between counties via the Nan'gang Bio-energy Center, and the introduction of Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) to convert waste into environmentally friendly fuel, as well as renovating private incinerators, the waste problem can be effectively solved, creating a win-win situation.
In addition, Wen Shih-cheng stated that he also plans to promote the Nantou Chinese Medicine Park to link with medical services and care for the elderly. He will strive to bring mobile hospitals and field medical vehicles to Nantou, providing doorstep services to care for residents by "bringing the hospital to your home." In terms of caring for young people, he will seek to attract high-tech, low-pollution industries to Nantou, enabling Nantou's youth to secure high-paying jobs.
