Chiang Wan-an was a teenager when his father sat him down to tell him about his heritage: he’s the great-grandson of Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese Nationalist leader who fought Mao Zedong’s Communists forces before fleeing to Taiwan and ruled it with an iron fist. Now the younger Chiang, who was a corporate lawyer in the US before entering Taiwan politics several years ago, is running for Taipei mayor in an election that could help restore the popularity of his famous ancestor’s political party, the Kuomintang. The once-dominant party, whose charter still calls for unification with China, has seen support wither. Invigorated by Chiang’s youthful image and moderate approach on China, a KMT victory in the election Saturday could help the party’s chances at a comeback in national elections. That could also sway cross-strait relations [...] “If Chiang wins, he could potentially revitalize the KMT by helping the party regain control of Taipei city and giving the party a prominent new political face,” said Russell Hsiao, executive director of the Washington-based Global Taiwan Institute. “The results could produce cascading effects that would have important implications for the 2024 presidential election, and in turn, the situation across the Taiwan Strait.”

Many voters, particularly older generations with an affinity for the KMT, see Chiang, 43, as the safe choice in these uncertain times. While he may lack the political experience of his main opponent Chen Shih-chung, the 68-year-old former Health Minister and candidate of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, Chiang has gained a steady, if unremarkable, reputation as a lawmaker since winning a seat in 2016.

Although issues in the upcoming ballot are mostly local, voters and political analysts say security concerns are at the top of people’s minds. “All I care about now is that I don’t want to see war happening in my life,” said Kathy Wang, a retired 70-year-old. She comes from what many Taiwan people describe as a “blue” family of KMT supporters, with connections to China. “I think the ruling party should help us seek peace with China, not war. There is no prosperity without peace,” she said. [...] “I fear war, but I fear unification even more,” said Sabrina Hong, a 40-year-old local bank worker. “If KMT runs Taiwan’s government, maybe cross-strait ties will be less tense. But it’s concerning that Taiwan may eventually become part of China.” [...] “There’s no need to even think about [Taiwan becoming a SAZ of PRC]. I’ll definitely oppose it to the end, and uphold the dignity of the Republic of China,” Chiang said, using the formal [read: actual] name of Taiwan. Chiang, whose campaign promises to address the capital’s aging infrastructure and declining population, is also helped by criticism over Chen’s tenure as health minister. Taiwan’s early success at reining in the spread of Covid-19 has been overshadowed by a late spike in cases and criticism over vaccine shortages. [...] While the KMT government shifted toward democratization in the 1990s, its early days of rule in Taiwan were marked by the killing of opponents and attacks on civilians considered sympathetic toward communists. [...] For the DPP, a poor outcome on Saturday could serve as a blow to Tsai, whose term ends in 18 months. She may be forced to resign as party chair, giving her less influence over the party’s 2024 presidential nomination.

yeah so bc of @across-the-seas-to-home & @wolfythewitch I guess I’m gonna go listen to Epic: The Musical now bc allofasudden I give a shit about Odysseus

(before across-the-seas’s awesome portrayal of Odysseus & wolfy’s fanart, I basically saw O as a fuckboy who stopped giving a damn about his family bc adventure was more fun & he liked whining to people who he could live off of more than anything else—especially when they fucked him)

Happy Birthday to you and Allofasudden! (I roughly remember fics being written as birthday stuff this time of year last year for you two so I hope I am remembering correctly lol if not then this message and the one I sent Allofasudden are just odd haha)

Your memory served you well - not only did you get the time of year right, you got the date right 😄

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!! 🎉🫶🩷✨️

I LOVED YOUR NEW FIC OMG! Ah it made me think of the good old days of the Encanto fics, its a little bitter sweet cause now I miss all of the other authors that were writing for the fandom, Dabby, ArcticVulpix, Sinclaironfire, Allofasudden, includeficinthesequel, bellatrix_wannabe_89, and inkandstone D: I wish them all the best but man I wish they'd either come back or write for the fandom more :/

Aww thanks! It's very possible I'll write another one pretty soon, it would be Julieta and her girls-centric, and a little angsty, because angst is the best, hehe

I feel ya Anon, I also miss my fellow writers, but that's the thing with hyperfixations and fresh fandoms - they burst suddenly, have a hot phase, then start dimming... and come alive a little more every time some new content in the fandom's being released. So... if there's any short, or a book, or a tv series, or a sequel released, probably a lot of them will return.

For all it's worth, I've just quitted my massive writer's block... I believe it's the same for many authors, it's so easy to burn out when you're not careful. I wish them all the best and I hope we'll all come back here to enjoy Encanto again ;)
