🤝 [From 'Being Served' to 'City Partners'] Huang Shih-chieh Enters New Residents' Living Room! Listening to Grassroots Voices, Vietnamese Cuisine Connects a Diverse and Inclusive Happy Taoyuan

The "Huang Shih-chieh Warm Living Room Meeting," jointly organized by the "Taoyuan New Residents Association" and the "Taoyuan Asian Marriage Association," was warmly held recently. Huang Shih-chieh, a candidate for Taoyuan Mayor from the Democratic Progressive Party, personally went deep into the grassroots, sitting and interacting with many new resident sisters and their families. He proposed a policy vision of positioning new residents as "partners in city development," demonstrating his determination to build a cross-cultural, harmonious city. 💡 Four Major Policy Highlights: Comprehensively Strengthening the Support Network for New Residents Facing the practical needs of new residents in their local lives, Huang Shih-chieh emphasized that if elected mayor, he would integrate cross-departmental resources of the city government to provide the most comprehensive support from the following aspects: Living and Language Support: Assisting new residents in adapting to the local environment and comprehensively improving language learning resources. Nurturing the Next Generation and Employment/Entrepreneurship: Deepening educational resources for the second generation of new residents and providing employment and entrepreneurship guidance for career development. Empowering Public Participation: Encouraging new residents to participate in public affairs, promoting their transformation from "service recipients" to "partners in city construction." Regular Dialogue Mechanism: Establishing listening channels to ensure policies truly align with citizens' lives and create a "tangible" happy Taoyuan for everyone. 🍲 Cultural Exchange Feast: Authentic Vietnamese Delicacies Bring People Closer The event was not only a serious policy dialogue but also filled with a strong exotic atmosphere. Lin Kuei-chin, Chairperson of the Taoyuan New Residents Association and originally from Vietnam, personally cooked a sumptuous table of authentic Vietnamese cuisine for the guests: Featured Dishes: French-style Vietnamese Yogurt, Vietnamese Grilled Pork with Vermicelli Salad, Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls, Pomelo Coconut Milk Dessert Soup, and Rich Vietnamese Coffee. Through food as a cultural bridge, representatives from various sectors including legislators, village chiefs, businesses, and Lions Clubs were able to learn about new resident policies in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, personally experiencing the warmth and passion of diverse cultures. 💡 Editor's Note: New residents who have traveled across the ocean to Taiwan not only inject rich cultural colors into this land but are also an indispensable and solid force for Taiwan in moving towards an internationalized and diverse, inclusive society. 🗣️ Discussion Time for rtitalk Readers: As a new resident or a local resident, in what areas do you expect future city policies to provide more support for new residents?
