The launch of Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chien-jen's new book 《Kaohsiung, Tight, Tight, Tight: 2314 Days of Extreme Transformation》 was held on April 4, with New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui in attendance. Su Chiao-hui pointed out that Kaohsiung's urban transformation over the past six years has shown that choosing the right person and being able to do things can truly change a city in six years, ushering it into a new era. She also stated that she would follow Chen Chien-jen's 'tight, tight, tight' spirit and promote progress in New Taipei with the same speed and efficiency, 'not only Kaohsiung tight, tight, tight, but also New Taipei charge, charge, charge!' Su Chiao-hui pointed out that Chen Chien-jen's new book records the achievements of governing Kaohsiung over the past six years. From industry, construction to urban governance, every major transformation behind it can be seen the planning and execution of Chen Chien-jen and the city government team. She said that seeing Chen Chien-jen share Kaohsiung's changes and achievements over the years with such familiarity, the pride on his face is not only a satisfaction with the progress of the city, but also includes gratitude to the citizens of Kaohsiung. 'We are all happy for Chen Chien-jen and very moved by him.' Su Chiao-hui said that Chen Chien-jen is her senior in the Legislative Yuan, and she has already felt his carefulness and meticulousness in handling matters and reviewing laws when they worked together in the past. After Chen Chien-jen became the mayor of Kaohsiung, whether it was fighting for the central budget for the local area, promoting major construction, or coordinating resources between the central and local governments, he demonstrated a high degree of execution and governance capabilities. She gave examples, from turning polluted land into a semiconductor industry base, laying out the water and electricity resources needed for the industry in advance, to using AI and big data to improve the efficiency of large-scale event traffic, to creating the 'concert economy,' all of which can be seen Chen Chien-jen's 'detailed planning, rapid execution' governance style. Su Chiao-hui also joked that one of the most memorable impressions of Chen Chien-jen should be his singing 'Norwegian Wood' to help her campaign in the past, and since then the name 'soul singer' has become famous. She laughed and said that Chen Chien-jen later often used his singing to help candidates campaign, and after several years of practice, his singing skills have improved a lot. Su Chiao-hui said that Chen Chien-jen will attend her campaign headquarters establishment ceremony tomorrow, and she also looks forward to this 'tight, tight, tight' mayor of Kaohsiung not only sharing his city governance experience, but also cheering everyone up with his singing again. 'I believe the people of New Taipei will be very happy to see the mayor of Kaohsiung, Chen Chien-jen, who is tight, tight, tight!' Chen Chien-jen said that he will officially start his campaign schedule from tomorrow, and the first stop is Su Chiao-hui's campaign headquarters establishment ceremony. In his speech today, he also mentioned Su Chiao-hui, Shen Bo-yang, and Wang Mei-hui, hoping that the three candidates will lead their own cities in the future and write wonderful stories. Su Chiao-hui said that she would like to thank President Lai Ching-te, former President Tsai Ing-wen, and Chen Chien-jen for coming to the stage for her tomorrow. She also invited all the citizens of New Taipei to go to Banqiao First Sports Stadium together to witness the important moment of the establishment of the campaign headquarters and cheer for the 'New Taipei team.' Today's guests at Chen Chien-jen's new book launch included President Lai Ching-te, Academia Sinica President Chen Chien-jen, Taiwan-Japan Relations Association President Hsieh Chang-ting, Grand Hyatt Taipei Chairman Yeh Chiu-lan, Executive Yuan Political Deputy Minister Chen Shih-chung, Taipei mayoral candidate Legislative Yuan member Shen Bo-yang, Chiayi mayoral candidate Legislative Yuan member Wang Mei-hui, Legislative Yuan members Wu Si-yao, Hsu Chih-chieh, and Chang Hung-lu.
