Pingtung County Government held its 2025 Model Worker Awards ceremony on April 30th, honoring 100 individuals for their contributions to the county. The awards recognized 3 national model workers, 65 county-level model workers, 14 disabled model workers, 24 model migrant workers, and 6 outstanding foreign worker employers. Tsai Wu-hsiung was highlighted in the Social Model category. Since 2019, as chairman of the Pingtung County Construction Industry Union, he has mobilized resources and members of various trades to participate in the 'Pingtung County Hundred Craftsmen Volunteer Team.' This initiative has led to the repair of homes for over 20 disadvantaged families. The 74-year-old Tsai, a plastering professional, has dedicated over a decade to public service, viewing assistance to the less fortunate as an honor and vowing to continue until he is unable to act. The ceremony also celebrated model migrant worker Wu Wen-chuan from Vietnam, who has worked in Taiwan for 12 years and is highly valued by his employer, Ming Rong Yuan Industrial Co., Ltd., having been promoted to deputy team leader. County Magistrate Chou Chun-mi emphasized the importance of laborers as reliable partners for businesses and cornerstones of social development. In addition to awards, model workers received gift certificates, a 'Sustainable Pingtung Gift Box,' and massage balls. The event was part of the 'We Live Festival,' which includes forums, exhibitions, markets, and performances celebrating Labor Day.
