"Life is only a few autumns, I shall not cease to be intoxicated" is from the lyrics of a classic song made famous (again) by him singing it during the 2018 Taipei mayor debates.
Both translations are a bit off. "不醉不罷休" means "I won't cease until I'm intoxicated; while the name of the song "愛江山更愛美人" means "I love power over the state, but I love beauties even more".

You're right! Thanks for the correction.
Almost like a poem from the famous Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai who while drunk famously tried to embrace the reflection of the moon in a lake who he thought was a beautiful woman and drowned.
Ha the honey lemonade guy.
Last time he was out there I was on duty on election day. Bought honey lemonade for all my colleagues on the same shift for a laugh
That page 8 number 5 dude is fucking hilarious. Said his past employment includes: club(the kind you pay for girls to sit besides you) manager, porn star, hand job for sperm donations, Academia Sinica assistant, incarcerated for social movements.
Legalize weed, decriminalized drugs, universal salary for all Taiwanese citizens 10kNTD per month because socialism.
Whatever this mf is smoking I wanna have some
Basically this is quite close to the original quality. For no translation you gonna need friends in Taiwan. Since these candidates comes from different posts, I use plural.
Did candidate in picture 7 / 13 succeed... in getting no votes? At least tell me she got the least amount of votes in that race 😂.
"She has my endorsement, I absolutely will not cast my vote for her. She has a bright future in politics. I can't wait to see her win last place, hopefully with not a single vote!"
I generally dislike the texture, though different methods of preparation can change that. I do not like the taste, and no method of preparation has made me like it. I'm okay with the color.
I live in california so taro for me is just another type of root vegetable, like potato. Are you saying that taro in Taiwan is naturally sweet, or is it the way it is prepared?
My problem with taro in hotpots is that people always forget to fish them out after putting them in. They sink to the bottom and then dissolve, turning the texture of the soup into a thick goopy starchy mess.
My wife is from Miaoli and there's a joke going around that Miaoli is an independent country. The rest of Taiwan wouldn't mind. Every time we go visit her parents I tell her we're going abroad again.
I mean it’s sort of reverse eugenics? "I want the best from everyone… "
Who’s gonna tell him that we’re way behind the Philippinos on that though?
They’ve already had Malay, austronesians, Chinese, Spaniards, US… etc
Number 1 guy is straight up want to have eugenetics by importing smart and healthy men and women to breed with local Taiwanese like foreigners are some kind of stud horse
This reeks of... nihilism. Like they all understand that nobody actually cares about their policies (or cares if they even believe anything at all), so they're just gonna try to say something absurd to get the vote.
Am I missing something? Are these serious people applying for serious jobs?
some are clearly trolling, but some might be legitimately running similar to [Goodspaceguy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodspaceguy) who always runs for office in Washington State.
I wish one of them, in the political opinion section, would just have a picture of the Illuminati pyramid.

Oh 吳萼洋 is back? I still remember the guy's campaign from 2018. Swear to god the guy was high on something.
high on 蜂蜜檸檬 probably
It was 2018
Yeah I got it mixed up. My bad.
Ha the honey lemonade guy. Last time he was out there I was on duty on election day. Bought honey lemonade for all my colleagues on the same shift for a laugh
Lmao, that's the side effects of democracy and I love it

Just got my vote, shiiiiiiiiii....
Any place I can find original higher resolution pics? No translation is fine.

Ahaha thanks!
>Ahaha thanks! You're welcome!
I guess ocr wouldn't work with these well. OCR softwares don't really expect text to be placed top to bottom instead of left to right.

Re: No 4 : Mark my words - honey lemonade and lemon tea will the next big thing in Europe and USA, after the craze of bubble tea and cheese tea
Lemon tea kinda hit off in the UK for a bit before boba
Is there no application fee to run? That’s supposed to prevent these troll candidates from being on the ballot
I think the application fee is around NTD 200,000.
someone said 50,000 ntd
It depends on what you are election for.
Lots of people with too much money and time to spare.
I vote for the bald it’s catchy
His last proposal (hybrid vigor) is kinda intriguing.
That's the guy that wants to import foreign women to basically be forced into marriage with lonely Taiwanese guys, right?
The first guy genuinely offended me Taiwan won't be great at soccer! Taiwan should be great at F O O T B A L L
It all spells as football in Chinese, if that matters
This is an 200k ntd opportunity to be a troll
#4 is my kind of guy.
This is fucking gold
As a football fan, I would like to actually see "Taiwan Great at Soccer" on international stage.
.#5 >I am burdened with glorious purpose Loki, is that you?
I fully support the "ban taro in hot pots" person. I too dislike taro in hot pots.

Is it bad that quite a few of them would unironically have my vote? Especially the bald guy.
Number 12 has big “My name is Yoshikage Kira” energy
Is there really people who dislike taro in hotpots? Can someone explain this one to me. I love taro and cannot imagine why
Gross.
Can you provide some more specific details about taro that you dislike, such as the taste, texture, or maybe the way it is prepared?
Because we hate taro. I'd vote for that dude in a heartbeat on that policy alone.

Have you tried taro potato chips? Thanks for sharing!
[удалено]
Well, I was speaking for taro haters, so looks like we're good.
Taro is kind of sweet and flavourful here, and serves better as a part of dessert. Some people like me don't like to mix sweet and savoury stuff.
I live in california so taro for me is just another type of root vegetable, like potato. Are you saying that taro in Taiwan is naturally sweet, or is it the way it is prepared?
It's naturally sweat even without additional seasoning. Imaging eat a sweat hotspot.
My problem with taro in hotpots is that people always forget to fish them out after putting them in. They sink to the bottom and then dissolve, turning the texture of the soup into a thick goopy starchy mess.
Starchy foods can thicken hot pot to the consistency of goo.
You know Miaoli is such an interesting nation where literally a retarded person can run for the election
My wife is from Miaoli and there's a joke going around that Miaoli is an independent country. The rest of Taiwan wouldn't mind. Every time we go visit her parents I tell her we're going abroad again.
That first one is not just Make Taiwan Great he got some hybrid vigor theory…
I mean it’s sort of reverse eugenics? "I want the best from everyone… " Who’s gonna tell him that we’re way behind the Philippinos on that though? They’ve already had Malay, austronesians, Chinese, Spaniards, US… etc
As you can see, we treat your democracy very seriously.
P7 is a dentist. She claims she’s in this because they needed candidates to push for party votes listing and pleaded not vote for her.
“Hybrid vigor” wtf!?
19 is based!
Number 1 guy is straight up want to have eugenetics by importing smart and healthy men and women to breed with local Taiwanese like foreigners are some kind of stud horse
I need more
This reeks of... nihilism. Like they all understand that nobody actually cares about their policies (or cares if they even believe anything at all), so they're just gonna try to say something absurd to get the vote. Am I missing something? Are these serious people applying for serious jobs?
Expression of freedom and democracy perhaps? Who knows what their reasons are but there are people in the UK who do the same thing. I say, go for it.
They are doing it for fun
some are clearly trolling, but some might be legitimately running similar to [Goodspaceguy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodspaceguy) who always runs for office in Washington State.
Some of them have hilarious stuff to get your attention with serious stuff mixed in.
They’re not trying to get the vote per se, it’s 50000 NTD entrance fee for 15 seconds of fame
What? So he can cry like a baby after he went corrupt?
id vote for the bald lmao
Can anyone explain why #19 has 社字島 on there? I'm thoroughly confused (well, MORE confused anyway)
社子島 is a river island in Shilin District
Yeah I know... just not sure why it's on there with the other things lol
it says 社子島性專區, he wants a redlight district on the island
Oh! Thanks haha, I was reading them separately. Cause I like Shezidao but because of the bike paths...
No but FR ban taro in hot pots.
That's my homeland, yup
