Youth Power / 哇！陈怡君

I want to bring hope back to Changzhi County.

We'll start from this campaign headquarters.

I also want to launch a hot air balloon from here.

On the day I declare my candidacy,

I'll ride this hot air balloon across Changzhi County.

We can do it!

Your father allegedly demands 5% of construction cost as kickback.

See? Chen Yi-Jun is in the news.

Where is the rent?! - Wait a minute!

Why don't we go and help her campaign? - Let's go!

Xian Zai, haven't seen you for awhile.

Council Speaker!

Youth Power Episode #5

After I grew up, I realized that I've been living under my parents' protection.

When I was in danger, they would protect me right away.

From now on, I also want to use my own ways to protect them.

I want to make them feel proud of me.

You heard? Sorry.

I didn't know Yi-Jun would turn out that way.

I wonder what kind of drama is going on in your household.

First it was your son. Now it's your daughter.

I'm afraid that the political empire you've worked so hard to build will crumble.

Even I'm about to be dragged down by you.

Have some cubilose.

Thank you.

Xian Zai,

we've collaborated for so many years. Do you really need to be so harsh?

Just because we've collaborated for so many years, I have to remind you.

Don't forget this.

If you falter, a whole chain of people would also suffer collateral damage.

Xian Zai, thanks for your confidence in me.

But I'm actually not that powerful.

Council Speaker,

I think Chairman Lin really cares about you. That's why he's here to offer some advice.

Don't forget this.

I'm the biggest reason why you've been the Council Speaker over the years, right?

Now, this "creek" (council speaker's power) is seemingly running dry.

It's about to become a pool of stagnant water.

I apologize. I have got to go.

I won't see you out.

Chairman Lin?

Uncle Wan Tong, hello.

This is Chairman Lin.

Uncle Lin, hello. - Hello.

Is my dad okay?

What's wrong?

Dad?

Dad?

Mom, is dad alright?

He was almost fully recovered.

Now because of you, he may have to be hospitalized again.

Is it really that bad?

Next let us look at news regarding the election.

Yesterday, Changzhi County's council candidate Chen Yi-Jun

attacked Sha Bing-Na, a reporter of our news station, without good cause.

The candidate could not withstand criticism

and resorted to violence. This is Sha Bing-Na reporting live from the scene.

Sha Bing-Na decided not to press charges.

She believed that it was a moment of fury and decided to forgive.

It is alleged that last night, long-time Council Speaker, Chen Jing-Shing,

developed heart conditions and was rushed to the hospital because of this incident.

With motto of truthful and balanced news reporting,

we'll continue to bring you further developments of this news.

She even hit a news reporter. How could she possibly continue to run in the election?

If your son didn't have those issues, none of these problems would have happened.

If you have to find a culprit, blame it on Wan Tong.

Why did he investigate Qi-Long in the first place?

But then, it's a blessing that Wan Tong thoroughly investigated our son before hand.

Or else, if our opponents found out about it during the election

and attacked us on this issue, our campaign would be dead in the water.

How about having one each?

You have one, too. Eat it together.

Councilwoman Chen, what are you doing here?

Don't call me Councilwoman Chen.

I am not used to hearing it. Just call me Yi-Jun, okay?

Zhao-Yuan and Ye-Qing seem to be looking for you to have a meeting.

I will go there in a while.

I would like to ask,

why would you guys want to work at our campaign headquarters?

Money, of course. It's quite easy to make some money during elections.

That's you, not me. I saw that you have such passion.

It seems like in this aging and listless Changzhi County,

I finally see a strand of strength and hope.

Is that so? So I encouraged you?

Yes, so Councilwoman Chen...

Let me take that back... Sister Yi-Jun, don't be defeated.

You gave everyone light and warmth.

You have to be our little sun forever, okay?

Okay, thank you all.

Bye Yi-Jun! - Bye!

The sun is very strong. Don't get a heat stroke. - Work hard.

I need to continue to be everyone's hope,

continue to be everyone's little sun,

and let everyone continue to be happy.

Wow, camera resolutions are so good these days!

The expression on my face is absolutely clear.

Luckily, my skin is good enough, or else people might notice the crow's feet around my eyes.

Do you think the voters will even care if you have crow's feet or not?

Have you seen my FB (Facebook) page?

It's flooded with comments because of the news you, the moron, created.

My FB page is the same, too.

Do you know what the trolls are saying about you? (Troll: a person who sows discord on the Internet)

They gave you a nickname called "Hyper Woman."

They even discussed about your blood type, horoscope, and calculated your almanac.

Some of them even diagnosed you as having...

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid). They think that's why you're so hyper.

Hyperthyroidism? Luckily, they were not talking about my crow's feet.

Still harping on crow's feet? Do you think that everyone will vote for you because you don't have crow's feet?

Come, have a look.

I finally realized how those actresses felt when their nude photos were leaked.

How hard it is.

It's not like we really wanted our photos to be leaked.

Then do you want to explain to us why you needed to be so hyper?

Hitting the reporter? Is your brain damaged?

Aren't those in the legislature shoveling each other all the time?

That is for show.

What you see on TV is not real at all, okay?

But you saw how far the reporter went with her words. Were you not angry?

Actually, things are not that bad.

Look at this.

Although the tone of the news coverage was negative right after the incident happened,

we're now seeing different comments after 8 hours.

Some criticized the reporter, and some said that Yi-Jun

dares to speak and act, dares to love and hate.

I think, right now, the situation is 50/50.

Why are you so optimistic?

I am just analyzing the statistics.

All the statistics we get before the vote is for information only.

But this means that there is still hope for me before the voting, is that right?

Right? Right? Right?

You're still looking at it? Just set it aside. Why are you looking at this?

Your dad is looking for you.

Go.

Sweeten your words.

Got it.

Is there any conclusion to your discussion?

Mom?

You want me to return to Taipei right now?

Alright, I will go back immediately.

Oh, great.

Now even The People's Party is abandoning us.

Brother Jiang,

will you return after going back?

Yi-Jun,

Dad is getting old.

Dad, I'm sorry. I was too rash.

Dad doesn't blame you.

It's all because Dad has become old and useless, and I couldn't be there to guide you.

Perhaps… we should withdraw from this election.

I know this political journey,

for you, is too difficult and too complicated.

I think,

you'd better go back to singing and become a singer.

Basically, you don't need to run for office. Okay? - It's not that I don't want to.

But that lady reporter was so out of line,

and she was talking about those 5% or 8% nonsense.

I didn't understand what all that mess was about. She was slandering you!

This is the way politics is.

Over the years, I've mediated a lot of things for people.

I also offended quite a bunch of people. Those who didn't get what they wanted...

naturally felt unsatisfied. So some slandering is inevitable.

Especially that guy, with the surname of Liu, from the Freedom Party.

What guy from the Freedom Party?

I'm talking about Teacher Liu. This is the second time he is running for office.

He comes from the education community. He has no idea how to get things done except how to talk the talk.

This time, the rumor about the 5% kickback was spread by him.

Why did he have to slander you like this?

The reason is simple.

He is in the same electoral district as us, and our prospective voters largely overlap.

That means I fell into his trap?

You're still young and guileless.

This kind of dirty trick is not something a young lady like you alone can handle.

I will discuss with your mom and have you withdraw from the election, alright?

No! What about those cards then?

Are we going to forget the promises we made to the voters? How about those unfinished public construction projects?

In my whole life, my word has always been my bond.

This time, we probably have no choice but to break our promises.

All the hard work I've done in my whole life will be ruined.

Our Chen family… has come to a dead end.

No! Dad, this won't be our family's dead end.

This seat… I, Chen Yi-Jun, am definitely going to win!

You really want to run for the seat?

Yes! I'm definitely going to win!

Chen Yi-Jun, morning.

Morning.

What's wrong? You were scolded by your dad yesterday?

If your dad hasn't scolded you, why is your face like this?

I would rather he yell at me than to tell me not to run for office.

He told you not to run for office?

Now even he does not believe in me.

Who told you to hit her.

It was that lady's fault.

Taking a bunch of nonsense rumors to soil my dad's reputation! She's a bully.

How do you know that the reporter was saying nonsense?

Of course, it was nonsense. How can you believe these kinds of baseless accusations?

I don't know. Politics are messy.
