Wang Shijian has been a Taipei city councilor for decades. His sharpness and humor have added a lot of entertainment to the island's political arena.
Having experienced the three mayors of Taipei, Ma Ying-jeou, Hao Longbin and Ke Wenzhe, , he claims to be "beating horses, slaying dragons, and chopping live treasures". And now he is sharpening his sword, facing the new Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan!
Wang Shijianphotos of Chiang Kai-shek warned Jiang Wanan
A few days ago, Jiang Wanan, who has officially assumed the mayor of Taipei, attended the first inaugural meeting of the 14th Taipei City Council . And Wang Shijian, who has always loved "gift giving", was prepared early. He presented a framed photo of Chiang Kai-shek to Jiang Wanan on the spot at the meeting. "And the management of the island's history with iron and blood.
Wang Shijian used this to warn Jiang Wanan that "there is no room for mistakes", and he also threatened that this was only the first gift as "Master Jiang", and that there would be "more significant" and "historical" gifts in the future.
It was the first time for Jiang Wanan to attend the parliament as the mayor of Taipei. Wang Shijian sent such a big gift, no doubt to give him a full blown reputation. Wang Shijian's warning also shows that the identity of the descendants of the Jiang family will become a "historical burden" that Jiang Wan'an will never get rid of.
Why did Wang Shijian disown Jiang Wanan?
The reason why Wang Shijian couldn’t wait to show off Jiang Wan’an, on the one hand, is naturally because of his own personality. With the record of “beating horses, slaying dragons, and chopping live treasures”, he was also so sharp when dealing with the previous mayors of Taipei . On the other hand, it is because Wang Shijian's family has a lot of grievances and hatreds with Chiang Kai-shek. At the beginning, the prosperity of the Wang family depended on Chiang Kai-shek, but also many people died at the hands of Chiang Kai-shek. The right and wrong of the grievances cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Therefore, when Wang Shijian confronts Jiang Wanan, who is a descendant of the Jiang family, there will be no shortage of such dramas in the future.
In fact, even if Wang Shijian did not attack Jiang Wanan for his identity as a descendant of the Jiang family, other members of the DPP would not let this go. Therefore, the controversy caused by this double identity is unavoidable for Jiang Wanan.
Leaving aside the merits and demerits of Chiang Kai-shek's "regime" in Taiwan, let's talk about how Jiang Wan'an, the fourth generation of the Chiang family, views his own identity and whether the "Two Chiangs" are political baggage or political assets.
Jiang Wan'an has been reluctant to talk about his identity before, and even once said "the Jiang family is a blood relationship to me". Regarding the merits and demerits of the "Two Jiangs", Jiang Wan'an has almost never made a clear statement, and even suspected of cutting the "Two Chiangs" on certain matters. It can be seen from that he does not want the identity of the descendant of the Jiang family to become a burden or shackle on his political path.
Although this "historical burden" cannot be shaken off by Jiang Wan'an, what the people on the island really see is the actual deeds of political figures. Jiang Wan'an should be clearly aware of this point. During his career as mayor in the past few years, he has mostly worked for the welfare and livelihood of the citizens of Taipei. This is the key to his smooth political path!
