Wanhua has waited long enough. Our historic neighborhoods deserve energetic, accountable leadership.

I’m Chen Li-Shin. I grew up in Wanhua, then studied and worked in the United States and Japan and built businesses across borders. Those years showed me how older neighborhoods can protect their character while making everyday life work better.

Now I’m coming home to enter public service for the first time. I am running as an independent and will not accept political donations. I want every position I take, every budget I scrutinize, and every promise I make to be open to public review.

An old neighborhood should not be treated as a museum of memories. It can create new jobs, welcome new businesses, draw people back, and become safer and easier to live in. Taipei needs fresh leadership, and I am ready to do the work.
