Jiang Wanan
Text: Wei Dongyue
Recently, the Kuomintang Party Committee Chairman Huang Lu Jinru confirmed that the Kuomintang’s public opinion representative Jiang Wanan will run for the mayor of Taipei in 2022, which has aroused public attention. The
Facebook fan page "The volume of politics" showed on September 6 that the current volume of news from several political leaders in the Kuomintang, Jiang Wanan, who was preparing to run for the 2022 Taipei mayoral election, accounted for 29.55% of the Kuomintang news that day, only The 31.81% is second to the party chairman Jiang Qichen, far surpassing the former leader of Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou and the mayor of New Taipei City Hou Youyi, while the former mayor of Kaohsiung Hanyu, who caused the "Halyu", only 2.24%, ranking second from the bottom.
According to the latest poll by Taiwan's "Dongsen News Cloud", if the Taipei mayoral election in 2022 is due to a blue-green confrontation, Jiang Wanan will challenge Chen Shizhong, the head of the health department of the Taiwan authorities, or the mayor of Keelung Lin Youchang and Jiang Wanan. Both are better than two. Even though Taipei’s Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan, who is regarded as the successor of Taipei’s Mayor Ke Wenzhe, and Huang Guochang, the former chairman of “Power of the Times” joined the war, Jiang Wan’an still ranked first with 37.4% support, followed by the four-party melee. Chen Shizhong's 35.1%, Huang Shanshan's 10.7%, and Huang Guochang's 5.5%.
In other words, with the potential candidates currently being discussed on the table, Jiang Wanan, great-grandson of Chiang Kai-shek and grandson of Chiang Ching-kuo, can be described as the first candidate for the Blue Army to recover Taipei.
Don’t forget to get the name "Wan'an" in Ju.
Jiang Wanan was born in Taipei in 1977. His father, Taiwan’s former “Deputy President of the Executive Yuan” Jiang Xiaoyan originally changed his surname from his mother's surname to Jiang until 2005. , Their children also changed their surnames. From incognito to recognition of ancestors, there is a secret past of this prominent political giant.
Jiang Jieshi
Jiang Jingguo
Jiang Xiaoyan
In 1937, the Jiang Jieshi who came back from the Soviet Union soon came back from the Soviet Union. But at that time, Jiang Jingguo had been married to his wife Jiang Fangliang for 3 years. In March 1942, Zhang Yaruo gave birth to twin sons for Jiang Jingguo. These two children born out of wedlock can only follow the mother's "zhang" surname, but Jiang Jieshi's name was designated as filial piety and filial piety. Like other children of Jiang Jingguo, they are of "filial piety". Unfortunately, in less than half a year, Zhang Yaruo was accidentally killed, and under internal and external troubles, Jiang Jingguo asked Xiaoyan and Xiaoci's grandmother to take them from Guilin to Wanan, Jiangxi province, to take refuge in Wanan, Jiangxi, with the infants. The Jiang brothers were able to escape.
Speaking of Jiang Wan’an’s name, Jiang Xiaoyan once said: “My son Wan’an’s name was taken by Mr. Jingguo. After Wan’an was born, Mr. Jingguo was very happy. After thinking about it for a few days, he told me that the child would take it. My name is Wan'an...because I grew up in Wan'an, Jiangxi, which is the poorest county in Jiangxi. Mr. Jingguo named Wan'an because I and Wan'an themselves know that we will not forget our place in Ju, Mr. Jingguo told me by his son's name that he remembers the hard years you experienced when you were a child." Compared with the brothers and sisters of the brotherhood, Jiang Wanan, who only recognized his ancestor in 2005, is almost outside the Jiang family. Child, but now his achievements surpass all his peers. After graduating from the National Chengchi University in Taiwan, Jiang Wanan went to the United States to study and obtained a Master of Laws and a Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He is an out-and-out scholar. Subsequently, he worked as a lawyer in Silicon Valley for seven years, and in 2011 he co-founded Wanze International Law Firm in San Francisco, representing a number of U.S. listed companies in handling various filings with the US Securities Regulatory Commission and providing corporate governance , Group organization restructuring, business investment planning and other related consulting, is also a talented superman in academic and career.
In addition to the school and professional experience, his handsome appearance is also eye-catching. Ma Ying-jeou once praised him face to face as "really handsome."
Although "high, rich and handsome" are all in one, Jiang Wanan is an out-and-out, dedicated and good man. In 2009, Jiang Wanan and his wifeZi Shi Fanggen held a wedding banquet in Taiwan. The wedding invitation designed by the two people printed the words: "With the same dream, we met at the University of Political Science; we have known each other for ten years, and support each other to grow up."
Jiang Wanan's family of three
Jiang Wanan and Shi Fangquan met at the National Chengchi University, and then went to the United States to study together. After ten years of love and long-distance running, they finally achieved positive results. Jiang Xiaoyan told the media, "I am very satisfied with the new couple, because they recognized them when they were in college, and they have been consistent along the way."
In June 2011, Shi Fanggen gave birth to a son in the United States, named Jiang Deli.
"Prince's Revenge"
"The'Head of State of the Republic of China' was elected in accordance with the Constitution and never considered succession by the Jiang family."
Jiang Jingguo's sentence in an interview with "Time" magazine in his later years was once extended as his right The descendants gave the death order of "no political participation". Therefore, when the fourth generation of Jiang’s family, such as Jiang Youbai and Jiang Youqing, avoided politics, while Jiang Wan’an of the same generation was willing to take over the "political mantle" of his father Jiang Xiaoyan, the outside world was both curious and surprised, and even interpreted it as "Contrary to grandfather's last wish."
Regarding this, Jiang Wanan said: "I didn't use the identity of the Jiang family to run for the election, but everyone knows this identity." He said that he would use his own efforts to let the outside world know that he is not just the fourth generation of the Jiang family. In fact, the same is true. With his civilian style, he has gradually gained the approval of Taiwanese voters through hard work step by step.
In March 2015, Jiang Wanan participated in the ninth “Legislative Committee” primary election of the Kuomintang and voluntarily gave up the US green card before the primary election. In April, because the then "legislator" Luo Shulei failed to win over 5% of Jiang Wanan in the first stage of the party's polls, the second stage of the party's primary election was required. In the second stage of the party's primary elections in May, Jiang Wanan opposed Luo Shulei's 44% with an average support rating of 55%, and was nominated for the ninth legislator in the Kuomintang's third constituency in Taipei. Interestingly, Jiang Xiaoyan lost to Luo Shulei by less than 1% in the 7th “legislator” inner-party primary election poll in April 2011. Jiang Wanan won the primary election this time and was described by the media as “ The Prince's Revenge". Jiang Wanan did not shy away from this, "As a son, we must help my father to speak out."
Jiang Wanan is the only political officer in the fourth generation of the Jiang family. After
, Jiang Wanan led the main opponent Pan Jianzhi by close to 90,000 votes (over 3,000 votes) under the extremely unfavorable circumstances of the KMT's general environment, and won a valuable seat for the KMT as a "legislator", even though this act was better than his father Jiang Xiaoyan in 2008. The annual record of 60% of the votes was slightly lower, and it was far from the nearly 120,000 votes won by Luo Shulei in 2012, but it stabilized the source of votes for the Songshan Blue Army where he grew up. There are comments that the Kuomintang veterans have been defeated in the general election, and Jiang Wanan, a stranger to the outside world, who has just turned 37, actually retained a "legislator" for Lanying in the difficult electoral district of Taipei City. His freshness and professionalism The image has also reversed many people's stereotypes of the Kuomintang's "dullness". Others commented like this: "Although Jiang Wanan has the blood of the Jiang family, it is not easy for him to be recognized by the voters with his civilian style and professional efforts. Jiang Wanan's political participation represents another rise of the Jiang family in Taiwan. "Some people even call it "leading the Kuomintang's'generational change'."
Unfortunately, Jiang Wanan’s political stance on both sides of the strait is also very different from the older generation of Kuomintang members. Just last year, he publicly stated that he would not accept the "definition of the 1992 Consensus as one country, two systems", nor could he accept democratic consultations between representatives of political parties and groups between the mainland and Taiwan, "because this denies the objective facts of the government of the Republic of China, which is tantamount to us Denial of subjectivity". He also said that Tsai Ing-wen's "four must" statements are correct.
In this regard, the media described it as "falling into a cesspit," and he rashly stated that he was suffering from political naivety. His crisis was also a crisis of the Kuomintang. Some netizens even asked him to "think about grandpa." However, the next day, Jiang Wanan made a clarification and changed his words and said that "the 1992 consensus does exist and it is also the basis for cross-strait exchanges."
Generally speaking, Jiang Wanan's political career will never escape the Jiang family's blood. But he is fortunate, unlike his father Jiang Xiaoyan, under the envelope of authoritarian politics, because of his sufferings, he must swallow his voice and forbear while growing up.Avoid self-sufficiency. The two generations of "presidents" brought up the blood of the last nobility in Taiwan and did not become his fetters. Instead, he made him calm, because he had a more open and independent growth years and his remarkable advantages from a political start. . After being elected as a “legislator,” Jiang Wan’an explained to the outside world’s doubts, “(candidate) there are two main reasons. First, the KMT’s defeat in the county and mayor elections in 2015 gave me a great impact, especially in 2016. At the beginning of the year, the DPP and the third force had young people running for the election. On the other hand, the KMT did not have young people, so I wanted to tell the people that “the KMT also has young people coming out to participate in public affairs.” Second, I participated in many government’s new industries Meetings, but often do not stop. For me, instead of participating in the system as a lawyer and shouting loudly, it is better to jump into the system and actually solve the problem through revision of the law. "
, the former chairman of the Kuomintang, Zhu Lilun, created a momentum for Jiang Wanan.
2022 is regarded as an outpost in 2024, and Taipei City is a key constituency. Although Jiang Wanan was interviewed before entering the KMT National Congress on September 6, he still focused on the "Legislative Yuan" at this stage, responding to people's expectations, and defending people's rights and interests. But judging from his political ambitions in the past and the high expectations of the Lan Ying grassroots, Jiang Wanan, 43, will continue to write "Prince's Revenge" anyway.
