Hualien Council Speaker storms into meeting hosted by Fu Kun-chi

Hualien Council Speaker storms into meeting hosted by Fu Kun-chi

2025-10-27

KMT caucus whip Fu Kun-chi, who took part in proposing a reconstruction bill for Guangfu, hosted a meeting on Monday afternoon with Hualien County officials. Because local representatives were selected at the discretion of county officials, not everyone had a chance to attend the meeting. One such person was Hualien County Council speaker Chang Chun, along with his supporters, who perceived the lack of an invitation as a snub. Furious over the perceived slight, Chang stormed into the meeting and confronted Fu, with no holds barred.

Hualien County Council Speaker Chang Chun, followed by a handful of his supporters in Guangfu, storms into the meeting to confront KMT Lawmaker Fu Kun-chi and even kicks his table.

-Why wasn’t I invited? Why wasn’t I notified?
-We’re with the Legislative Yuan.
-I don’t care who you’re with. Bullying the people of Guangfu, huh?

Chang was furious about the perceived snub by Fu, who’s organized the meeting to discuss a reconstruction bill for Guangfu. Chang believes that he ought to have been invited.

-Hands off. It’s a crime!
-Fu Kun-chi must resign!
-He’s in the act of a crime!
-Shameless! Shame on you!
-He kicked me. You all saw it.
-I kicked the table! The table!

Fu accused Chang of assault. They even played tug-of-war with the microphone.

-Why can’t I speak?
-He grabbed our stuff.
-The KMT caucus whip Fu Kun-chi…
-They’re grabbing our stuff right now. A formerly convicted hooligan. He’s bombed our meeting.

Chang Chun
Hualien County Councilor
I am the council chair for the people of Guangfu. How could you not invite me? It’s unbelievable. You’re the caucus whip, but yet you’re so petty. You’ve taken this opportunity to marginalize me. I’ve also got things to say. Fu Kun-chi, you could act like all that at the Legislative Yuan, be mean and domineering. He even called me a hooligan. What is he himself?

While the fight goes on, hundreds of Guangfu residents guarded by the police held a protest outside, unable to attend the meeting. They tried to push their way through, and five made it inside.

Local resident
Mad that he’s not invited
This useless government. Today, without consulting the people, they’re holding a meeting inside, instead of consoling the people. How to console the people? It’s not about throwing money at the problem. There has to be a method.

Fu intended the meeting to be an occasion to communicate the reconstruction bill with local officials and to understand local needs. However, Guangfu residents are unhappy that they weren’t deemed important enough to be invited.

傅崐萁辦光復災區重建座談會大批災民被擋"議長張峻怒踢桌"

2025-10-27

國民黨立委傅崐萁，下午在花蓮災區舉行重建座談會，現場卻充滿濃濃火藥味，不但只邀請部分災民，連同樣是災民的花蓮縣議長張峻也沒受邀，看到大批災民被擋在門外，張峻一進門，就怒踢傅崐萁桌子。傅崐萁大罵，被管訓過的流氓，張峻反批，只會找幾個代表摸頭，到現在還沒道歉，會不會太過分。

花蓮議長張峻帶領一群災民，怒氣沖沖走入現場，氣到踢傅崐萁桌子

-為什麼不用通知?為什麼不要給我通知?
-國會在這裡開會
-我管你國會你現在欺負光復人是不是?

張峻這麼火大，就是因為傅崐萁到光復淹災區，開重建座談會，卻沒通知也是災民的議長張峻。

-不要動手現行犯
-傅崐萁下台
-現行犯現行犯
-不要臉的東西不要臉的東西
-剛剛直接踢我大家都看到
-我踢桌子我踢桌子

傅崐萁不斷跳針，大喊現行犯，現場氣氛火爆，兩人還互搶麥克風。

-為什麼不能說話
-我們被搶東西
-我們國民黨的總召傅崐萁
-現在現場搶東西被一個管訓過的流氓在這裡當場把整個場砸掉

[[花蓮縣議長張峻]]
“我在地光復子弟的議長，你竟然沒有通知我，那是不是太過分了?那你身為一個總召，那麼沒有肚量，那你故意要用這個機會來把我邊緣化，我也有我的訴求啊，那你傅崐萁今天在立法院，可以兇狠蠻橫，他現在罵我是流氓，那他是什麼東西?”

場內充滿火藥味，場外還有兩三百名災民，也沒獲邀參與，被警察的重重人牆，擋在門外，苦等一小時，還爆發推擠衝突，最後只有五名代表，進入座談會。

[[災民]]
“這個無能的政府，今天沒有經過大家的同意，就在裡面做一個協調會。而不是在安撫人心，什麼叫安撫人心?不是拿錢就可以解決，而是要拿方法。”

傅崐萁說要聽取災民心聲，卻把真正的災民拒於門外，是真的要解決光復問題，還是只想摸頭了事，民眾心中自有答案。

Air force squadron cartoon emblems designed by Disney

The Ministry of National Defense’s flagship military television show, “Fighting! A New Perspective for All,” coproduced by Formosa TV, reveals the secrets of air force squadron emblems, many of which incorporate cartoons. The emblem of the 26th Squadron is a witch on a broom holding a spiked club, the 7th Squadron’s is the big bad wolf, and the 28th Squadron’s is a fire-breathing dragon. All of them were created by none other than cartoon master Walt Disney himself.

After completing a thorough check of the jet’s system, it hits the runway and prepares for takeoff.

Those who look carefully may notice a cartoon on the side of the jet of a witch on a broom, holding a spiked club. This is the creative emblem for the air force’s 26th Squadron.

Lai Chien-hao
26th Squadron pilot
The witch riding a broom symbolizes agility and lightning speed, as fast as the wind. The spiked club she holds represents our extremely powerful combat capabilities that can strike the enemy hard.

This cartoon emblem was actually designed by the famous cartoonist Walt Disney.

Wang Li-chen
Military historian
In the beginning, there was a pilot who was either friends or family with Disney who asked him to draw something for him. When Disney finished the drawing, other people thought it was quite good, so they started approaching him for more designs.

During World War II, the Republic of China’s military joined forces with the US in the fight against Japan. Disney also designed the distinctive emblem for this multinational team that remains unchanged to this day.

Yang Yi-hsuan
26th Squadron officer
The witch represents vitality, and her powerful magic represents unlimited possibilities. It’s very different from what I usually associate with a combat squadron, but I liked it the moment I saw it. It gives a sense of liveliness and enthusiasm.

In addition to the 26th Squadron’s witch, the 7th Squadron’s big bad wolf emblem and the 28th Squadron’s fire-breathing dragon were also designed by Disney. The dragon’s hat originally displayed the stars from the US flag, but was changed to display the star from Taiwan’s flag. An expert shared just how challenging these emblems are to draw.

Voice of Huang Ming-mai
Armaments Bureau sergeant
If I drew the witch myself, it would take me about two hours. But for the big bad wolf, it might take me almost four hours to decide on a final version.

These creative cartoon emblems display the history of Taiwan’s air force since World War II. Today’s pilots defend Taiwan’s airspace under the same emblems as their predecessors.

Decades-old oyster shop goes viral over handsome dancing chef

An oyster omelet restaurant in Keelung that’s been in business for over 60 years had been getting a lot of attention recently for an unexpected reason. One of the chefs there is not only fit, but also likes to dance at work, impressing the patrons. He also serves as an anti-drug spokesperson, going to schools during the day to speak to students and selling oyster omelets at night.

A handsome guy wears sunglasses and shows off his bulging biceps, his apron barely able to conceal the muscles underneath as he dances in front of a skillet, using a spatula as a microphone. But this isn’t a performer. He actually makes oyster omelets.

Yu Shang-che
Oyster omelet chef
Many people think that dressed like this, I look like a model. But I’m not. Most of the time I’m making oyster omelets here.

This musclebound man makes omelets, golden brown and packed with fillings, served piping hot to your table. But it’s not just the oysters the customers are ogling.

Customer
I think he’s super handsome. I come here often. For the eye candy.

Customer
He has his fans. He’s handsome and young, and has a good body. I’m here because I heard about him.

This restaurant has been around in Keelung for over 60 years, passed down through three generations. But after the latest generation didn’t want to take over, four local guys stepped in. To drum up business, they brought in Yu as their chef. People passing by often give a double take, and they’ve even made a breakthrough online.

Yu Shang-che
Oyster omelet chef
It’s really too hot out. It’s a good thing I’m not shy. I would try out different outfits, cooler outfits. The customers liked it, so I kept it.

Han Dong H.D.A. member
Everyone thought we hired a model, or found a hot guy to come dance who didn’t know how to cook, but we didn’t.

The chef has another gig with the performance group Han Dong H.D.A. from Keelung. They travel to middle and high schools around Taiwan to perform acrobatics and dance, all to make their anti-drug message more exciting for the kids.

Yu Shang-che
Oyster omelet chef
During the day, I promote drug awareness, and in the evening, I make oyster omelets. I give the people different things. It’s not just fresh food. They can enjoy the sights as well as the food.

This hot guy selling piping hot omelets true to his hometown is giving his customers a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.

Women tricks stores into giving extra change

Several shops on Fushou Street in New Taipei’s Xinzhuang District were recently scammed by a woman whose sleight of hand fooled them into thinking they had given her incorrect change. One restaurant gave her an additional NT$500, only to later discover they had been tricked when checking surveillance footage. A nearby fruit vendor was also initially fooled, but quickly realized they had been tricked and chased the woman down.

In what seems like a normal interaction, a customer gives the employee NT$1,000 to pay for her meal. The employee takes out a NT$500 bill along with several NT$100 bills and hands the change to the customer. But the customer quickly sneaks the NT$500 bill into her pocket, then claims the employee didn’t give her enough change. The employee hands her another NT$500, cheated by the woman’s sleight of hand.

Ms. Huang
Restaurant manager
The woman was chatting with the employee as they were giving change, which distracted them while she quickly hid the NT$500 bill. She was wearing a hat and mask, so you really couldn’t see her facial features.

Zooming in on the surveillance footage, it’s clear that the woman quickly took the bottom NT$500 bill and slipped it under her black bag and into her pocket with her right hand. She then brought her hand back to the remaining bills to count them and claimed she hadn’t been given enough change. Later the same day, the woman tried the same trick at a fruit store down the street. But this time, they weren’t so easily fooled.

Mr. Huang
Fruit vendor
When she turned to leave, I immediately looked at the surveillance footage and saw her trick. I caught up with her and after speaking briefly with her, she admitted her fault and handed me back the NT$500.

This woman visited multiple stores on Fushou Street in New Taipei’s Xinzhuang District and tricked employees into giving her extra change. She may have used the same tactic at many stores across the city.

Shoe company makes trendy kicks out of used coffee grounds

Taiwan consumes around 2.85 billion cups of coffee every year, meaning there’s a large amount of used coffee grounds. These coffee grounds will produce large amounts of greenhouse gases if left to compost on their own. A shoe company has smelled a green business opportunity in these coffee grounds, turning them into colorful footwear that can be recycled again and again.

A cabinet of trendy shoes in various colors on display. Not your average kicks, these shoes are made of used coffee grounds.

Wilson Hsu
Shoe company CEO
This pair of boots—they’re waterproof rainboots—they’re made out of 15 to 20 cups of used coffee grounds. If a trillion cups of coffee are consumed a year, that produces around 40 billion kilograms of coffee grounds. These coffee grounds produce large amounts of methane and carbon dioxide. In fact these two gases are the two largest greenhouse gases.

High-performance and low-cost materials are usually products of the petrochemical industry. This shoe company instead strives to make their products out of recycled materials. In addition to used coffee grounds, the company also recycles PET bottles, as
well as by-products of the agriculture and semiconductor industries.

Wilson Hsu
Shoe company CEO
Once a customer pays a certain fee, we will be completely responsible for their product. We’ll provide them with new shoes, and once those get worn out, we’ll recycle them, turn them into a new pair that’s given back to the customer.

The company truly practices circular economy by reusing waste materials again and again, making it a model business under the Ministry of Environment’s Resource Circulation Promotion Act. The ministry is actively promoting sustainable local brands, taking the lead in waste reduction and encouraging green innovations, taking Taiwan closer toward its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
